You're looking for Billy Bob Thornton. You want that gritty, booze-soaked legal drama where a washed-up lawyer takes on the world. I get it. Finding a specific show in 2026 feels like a scavenger hunt because every network has its own app, and half of them keep rebranding. If you’re trying to figure out what channel is Goliath on, the short answer is that it isn’t on a traditional cable channel at all.
Honestly, it never was.
Goliath is an Amazon Original. That means you won't find it flipping through your local cable lineup on a Tuesday night. It lives exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. If you have a Prime membership, you’ve already got the "channel" in your pocket. You just need to open the app and search for it.
Where to find Billy McBride in 2026
Since the show wrapped up its fourth and final season a while back, it has settled into its permanent home in the Amazon library. Unlike some shows that hop from Netflix to Hulu, Goliath was produced by Amazon Studios. They own it. They aren't sharing.
You can watch all 32 episodes—spread across four seasons—right now if you have a subscription. If you’re looking for a "channel number," you’re out of luck. You’ll need a smart TV, a gaming console, or a phone with the Prime Video app.
- Platform: Amazon Prime Video
- Cost: Included with Amazon Prime ($14.99/mo or $139/yr) or a standalone Prime Video sub
- Availability: All four seasons are currently streaming
Can you watch it without Amazon?
This is where it gets a little tricky. Sometimes people see shows like this pop up on "Freevee" (Amazon’s ad-supported free service). While Amazon occasionally puts the first season of their originals on Freevee to bait you into a subscription, Goliath generally stays behind the Prime paywall.
Don't go looking for it on Netflix. It's not there. It’s also not on Max, Hulu, or Disney+. I’ve seen people get confused because Billy Bob Thornton is in the new show Landman, which is on Paramount+. If you’re coming from Landman looking for more Thornton, just remember: different actor, different "channel."
Why the "channel" question is confusing
The reason many people ask what channel is Goliath on is because of how Amazon Prime Video Channels work. You can subscribe to things like Paramount+, Max, or Starz through Amazon.
It makes the interface look like a big digital cable box. You might be scrolling through your "channels" on the Amazon home screen and see Goliath sitting next to a movie from MGM+. But Goliath is a core Prime benefit. You don't need to pay for an extra "channel" add-on to see it.
A quick refresher on the seasons
If you’re just starting or maybe you stopped after the weirdness of Season 2 (we don't talk about the surgery scene enough), here is the roadmap of what you're looking for on the platform.
Season 1: The Classic Legal Thriller
This is the one that hooked everyone. Billy McBride is living out of a motel next to the Chez Jay bar in Santa Monica. He takes on his old law firm, Cooperman McBride. It’s a tight, 8-episode David vs. Goliath story. This is peak legal drama.
Season 2: The Dark Turn
This season got a bit divisive. It leans more into the cartel underworld and some truly bizarre villainy. It feels less like a courtroom show and more like a noir fever dream.
Season 3: The Water War
Billy heads to the Central Valley. It’s about the California water crisis, drought, and corporate greed. Dennis Quaid and Amy Brenneman show up here, and it gets pretty trippy.

Season 4: The Final Reckoning
The show moves to San Francisco. Billy takes on big pharma and the opioid crisis. It brings the whole story full circle with a lot of style—and even some musical sequences that caught people off guard.
Technical details for your binge
If you’re watching this in 2026, you probably care about the quality. Amazon has most of the series available in 4K Ultra HD. If you have a decent TV, the cinematography in the later seasons (especially Season 4) is actually stunning.
One thing to keep in mind: Amazon recently introduced ads into their standard Prime Video tier. Unless you’re paying for the "ad-free" upgrade, you’re going to see a few commercials for laundry detergent or other shows while Billy is trying to save his soul.
How to start watching right now
- Open the Prime Video app on your device.
- Sign in with your Amazon account.
- Search for "Goliath."
- Add to Watchlist so you don't lose it.
If you don’t have Prime, you can usually snag a 30-day free trial. That’s plenty of time to binge the whole series if you’ve got a long weekend and a lot of caffeine.

The reality of 2026 streaming is that "channels" are just apps now. For Goliath, your only destination is Amazon. Grab a drink, settle in, and get ready for Billy McBride to ruin his life for a good cause one more time.
Actionable Next Step: Check your Amazon Prime membership status to see if you have the "Prime Video" benefit active. If you do, search for Goliath and start with Season 1, Episode 1, "Of Mice and Men," to see if the gritty Santa Monica noir vibe fits your style.
