Where to watch The Reagans docuseries online? All streaming options explored

On November 15, 2020, Showtime released The Reagans, a television documentary miniseries chronicling the lives of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan. Directed by Matt Tyrnauer, the four-part docuseries spotlights Ronald Raegan's Presidential regime from the beginning to the end, roughly between 1981 and 1989. The official logline for the docuseries reads:

"A four-part documentary series that explores the many surprisingly unexamined aspects of the Reagan White House, and how Nancy Reagan's paper-doll image was at odds with the power she ultimately wielded throughout her husband's presidency."

The Reagans was initially released on Showtime, the Paramount Plus-affiliated premium television network. However, after gaining considerable success, the docuseries was made available on streaming platforms like Paramount Plus, Amazon Prime Video, and Fubo TV.
