‘Honey’ Episode 3 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
‘Honey’ arrives this weekend on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, and viewers already looking ahead to the third episode have a fairly clear picture of how the run is structured. The series premieres on Saturday, November 14, with the first episode at 9pm and the second following at 9.45pm. After that, episodes arrive weekly and will not be released as a boxset.
Set in 1980s East Berlin and made by Sid Gentle Films for the BBC and ZDF, ‘Honey’ is a darkly comedic Cold War thriller. This guide covers the release date, broadcast time, viewing options and what can reasonably be expected from the third episode, based on the information published so far.
‘Honey’ Third Episode Release Date
Because the series opens with two episodes on the same night, the third episode is the first to arrive on its own. Episodes follow weekly after the premiere, which points to the third installment landing a week after launch, on Saturday, November 21.
Not every listing agrees on the schedule. One episode tracker shows consecutive daily dates for the early episodes, while a reference entry says all episodes will also release on iPlayer. The report of a weekly rollout with no boxset is the most specific scheduling detail available, so viewers should confirm the date on iPlayer once the premiere has aired.
The series consists of six episodes of 45 minutes each, which makes the third episode the midpoint of the run. British Comedy Guide lists the first episode at 50 minutes, so running times may vary slightly from one installment to the next.
What Time ‘Honey’ Airs on Saturday Nights
The BBC One schedule for premiere night places ‘Honey’ from 9pm to 10.40pm, covering both opening episodes. British Comedy Guide also lists the first episode as a 9pm broadcast on BBC One.
None of the listings reviewed give a confirmed broadcast time for the third episode. If the weekly run holds to the premiere’s 9pm Saturday starting point, that would be the time to watch for, but that remains an expectation and not an announced detail.
Viewers who miss the broadcast have options. BBC One streams on iPlayer both live and as catch up. The first episode also has a repeat listed on BBC2 in the early hours of Monday, November 16.
Where to Watch the Third Episode of ‘Honey’
In the United Kingdom, ‘Honey’ is available on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. That applies to every episode, including the third, so there is no separate platform to track down.
iPlayer is free to use with a BBC account, but it requires a valid TV Licence for everything on the service. The app runs on smart TVs, phones, tablets, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and most major streaming devices.
International viewers face more uncertainty. Fifth Season will distribute the series globally, but the sources reviewed do not name overseas platforms or release dates. The series also had its world premiere at MIPCOM in Cannes, which suggests broader distribution news may follow.
‘Honey’ Third Episode Preview and What to Expect
The material published so far does not break down individual episode plots, so any preview of the third episode rests on the series premise. Martha, 24, is a deep cover agent for MI6 who is trying to avoid detection by Friedrich, the new Stasi Head of Counter-espionage against British Targets.
She also finds herself caught between Friedrich and the reckless, arrogant CIA operative Aaron Neeland, who is posing as Kurt Fischer. British Comedy Guide adds that Martha yearns for a more serious assignment while posing as the lover of a British diplomat, and that she is forced to work with a CIA officer who ruined a previous mission. That setup suggests the love triangle will keep tightening as the episodes progress.
Behind the camera, Emma Moran is lead writer and executive producer, with Emme Hoy also writing. Toby MacDonald directs the first three episodes and Michelle Savill directs the last three. The third episode therefore closes out MacDonald’s block, which makes it a natural point for the story to shift gears. Filming took place in Vilnius, Lithuania, which stood in for 1980s Berlin.
Ann Skelly plays Martha Schmitt, Nate Mann plays Kurt Fischer, Jannis Niewöhner plays Friedrich Baumann and Rory Kinnear plays Graham Anderson. The series is reportedly a prequel to ‘Killing Eve’, which gives the espionage setting added weight for fans of that show. With the third episode ending the first stretch of the season, does Martha end up closer to Friedrich or to Kurt, and which man does she trust less by then?
