As previously mentioned, The Judge Returns is the new K-drama that can be streamed through different platforms. Since not every service is available in all regions or countries, users will first have to check availability.

Rakuten Viki is one of the most popular ways to stream the series, as it provides free access to the first two episodes of most dramas in the world, but users will need to subscribe to continue watching the series after watching the first two episodes.

In addition to English, Viki offers a number of other languages including Arabic, making the series available to many viewers around the globe. Another option for watching the series is to use HBO Max.

However, it is only available in a limited number of countries. Users may have difficulty finding the series on their local HBO Max account due to region-based licensing agreements.

You can find this series on TVING and Wavve as two of the most widely used streaming services in South Korea. The Judge Returns is also available on Disney+ in select countries but not globally.

You may be able to locate unofficial content for this series, such as the first episode with English subtitles, on platforms like Dailymotion. There are channels dedicated to sharing Korean dramas with English subtitles that post unofficial videos of this series and do not guarantee a device's security and better quality.
