‘Catfish: The TV Show’ season 9 premiere: How to watch, where to stream

The season nine premiere of Catfish: The TV Show is scheduled to kick off on MTV Tuesday, April 30 at 8/7c.

Not only will the first episode of the new season premiere Tuesday night, but Catfish fans will also be able to watch episode two immediately following at 9/8c.

Season eight of Catfish spanned over a period of several years starting in 2020 for over 100 episodes. This left fans wondering if they were ever going to get a season nine. Now, the time has finally come.

Episode one of season nine focuses on a couple named Jeni and Elijah. As the two have never met in person, Jen is confused about who she is in love with and calls Nev and Kamie to help untangle the mystery when Elijah starts sending different pictures of what he supposedly looks like.

Meanwhile, in episode two, after two years and many excuses, Kay is ready for answers as to why Tyreek does not meet her.

Where can I watch Catfish season 9?

Those without a regular cable subscription can live stream the season nine premiere of Catfish on Tuesday with Philo or Fubo. Both offer free trials for new subscribers who watch episode one of the new season for free before committing to anything.

Past episodes of Catfish can also be streamed on-demand with a regular Hulu subscription. However, it typically takes roughly a year for new episodes to hit the streaming service after each premiere.

What is Philo?

Philo is considered one of the cheaper live streaming services available as it allows users to stream over 70 live TV channels for just $25 a month after its 7-day free trial.

Popular channels offered with Philo include the Hallmark Channel, MTV, AMC, HGTV, History Channel, Discovery Channel, CMT, TLC, BET and more.

The streaming service also offers unlimited DVR along with various movies and TV shows users can watch on-demand.

What is Fubo?

Fubo is also an alternative to basic cable, but with better channel options.

Fubo considers itself a sports-focused streaming service, but overall, its standard package comes with over 100 live channels for $74.99 a month after its free trial. These channels include ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TLC, MTV and much more.

Fubo also comes with a variety of shows and movies users can watch on-demand along with the option to record your favorite TV shows.
