Patience on PBS, adapted from the acclaimed French series titled Astrid, tells the story of Patience Evans, an autistic woman working at the Criminal Records Office and how she gets noticed by Detective Inspector Bea Metcalf who then takes her help to solve cases.

The official synopsis of the show, as per Rotten Tomatoes, mentions

“Criminal archivist Patience Evans' world changes when her unique talent is spotted by DI Bea Metcalf.”

Premiering on June 15, Patience premieres new episodes every Sunday, meaning episode 6 will premiere on July 20, 2025.


Patience Episode 6 release date and streaming details

Patience consists of 6 episodes, with the finale airing on July 20, 2025 on PBS at 8/7c. Since the show is available exclusively on PBS and PBS App, viewers will need access to the same to watch the episodes as they drop.

A lot of live and on-demand content is free to watch on PBS. However, to gain access to extra content, one needs to take a PBS Passport, which generally requires a $60 yearly or $5 monthly contribution. It should be noted here that PBS Passport is not a separate subscription; rather an added benefit. Moreover, shows on PBS can also be watched through Amazon Prime if PBS is added as an add-on service.


More about Patience

Besides the slow burn theme of the show, what works in favor of Patience is its ensemble cast, which includes

  • Ella Maisy Purvis as Patience Evans
  • Nathan Welsh as DS Jake Hunter
  • Laura Fraser as DI Bea Metcalf
  • Mark Benton as Calvin Baxter
  • Liza Sadovy as Dr. Loretta Parsons
  • Tom Lewis as Elliot Scott
  • Jamie Maclachlan as George Evans
  • Maxwell Whitelock as Alfie Metcalf-Haynes

With only one episode left to air, it would be interesting to see what Patience decides to do with the proposal she received from Elliot Scott and how that affects her life. In the latest episode, Patience was shown to be dealing with Billy’s brother Paul’s case, as he was thought to be dead but eventually shown to be alive. As Patience’s personal and professional life keeps evolving under the guidance of Bea, it would be curious to see how the finale decides to end her arc for the season.

Since Patience has already been renewed for another season, fans can expect to see more of the awkward Patience Evans and how she navigates unfamiliar territories in her cases and in her personal life.
