‘Treasure Island’ Episode 4 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview: What Awaits Jim in San Domingue

‘Treasure Island’ is moving into the second half of its run, and viewers now have a clear picture of when the next chapter arrives. The series premiered on MGM+ in the United States on October 11 and on Paramount+ in the United Kingdom and Ireland the following day. It consists of six episodes, and they air weekly.

This guide covers the release date, the streaming options and what the official synopsis says about the fourth chapter. For anyone following ‘Treasure Island’ closely, the timing matters because the previous episode ended Bess Hawkins’ journey aboard the Hispaniola, and the voyage is now heading somewhere new.

‘Treasure Island’ Episode Release Date and Air Time

The fourth chapter is titled San Domingue and was directed by Jeremy Lovering. It lands in the United States on November 1 and in the United Kingdom on November 2. That gap follows the staggered pattern the series has used since its premiere.

An exact air time has not been confirmed. One schedule guide lists the chapter for Sunday, November 1, but marks the time as not announced. Viewers who want the earliest possible look should check their streaming app on the day.

In the United Kingdom, the pattern is simpler to track. Paramount+ releases one new episode every Monday. That means British subscribers will see the new chapter a day after their American counterparts.

The remaining schedule is already set. The fifth chapter, titled Skeleton Island, arrives in the United States on November 8. The sixth and final chapter, titled A Princesa De Aveiro, closes the season on November 15 in the United States and November 16 in the United Kingdom.

Where to Watch ‘Treasure Island’ on MGM+ and Paramount+

American viewers have one option. ‘Treasure Island’ streams exclusively on MGM+ in the United States. New subscribers can use a seven day free trial to catch up on the earlier chapters.

Device support is broad. MGM+ works on smartphones, tablets, computers, smart TVs and streaming devices. That should make it easy to watch live or catch up later in the week.

British and Irish audiences go through a different service. The six part drama was commissioned by MGM+ in the United States and Paramount+ in the United Kingdom. UK viewers can watch on Paramount Plus with episodes landing every Monday.

Availability elsewhere is less settled. TechRadar’s viewing guide noted there was no word on a release date or streaming home in Canada. Readers in other regions should confirm local listings before planning their viewing.

Episode Preview and What the Synopsis Reveals

The official description for the fourth chapter is brief but telling. Jim saves Long John’s life, knowing he still needs him, while Graham draws Jim into his orbit. It suggests Jim is now making calculated choices rather than simply reacting to the people around him.

That shift builds on the previous chapter, titled The Wide Eternal Sea. An exclusive sneak peek from TV Insider showed Long John Silver and Bess Hawkins in a tense exchange about her relationships with Jim and Aaron Graham. The scene hinted at how fragile the alliances aboard the ship had become.

Those tensions came to a head in that episode. Silver looked like the obvious suspect in Bess’s death, since he had a motive and Captain Smollett had witnessed an argument. The same episode also revealed that Graham had been sent to seize the treasure for the Crown.

The groundwork for Jim’s next move was laid just as carefully. Silver told Jim to stop relying on his mother and think for himself, and he dangled half of Flint’s treasure as a reward. Against that backdrop, saving Silver’s life reads as a decision with real consequences.

‘Treasure Island’ Cast and Critical Reception

The central ensemble remains tightly focused. Tom Sweet plays Jim Hawkins, Hayley Atwell plays Bess, David Oyelowo plays Long John Silver and Jack Huston plays Aaron Graham. Tristan Sturrock appears as Captain Smollett.

The series takes a modern approach to Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel. It brings Bess into the story and the journey for the first time, while offering a new background for Silver. Oyelowo is also the first Black actor to play the character in a major screen adaptation.

Critics have been drawn mostly to the lead performance. A review from RogerEbert.com said Oyelowo’s charisma and voice are what hold the production together. Another critic quoted by Metacritic felt that even Oyelowo could not fully lift a plot that drags.

The coming weeks will test whether the story can match its star. Jim leads the search for Captain Flint’s treasure in the fifth chapter. With Bess gone and Jim keeping Silver alive for reasons of his own, which side of that bargain do you think the boy will end up regretting most?
