Smash was gone far too soon after only two seasons on NBC. Making its short-lived run even more painful was the fact that the musical drama didn’t have an official streaming home for years. But now, Smash star Katharine McPhee would like to remind us that the series has landed on Prime Video, by way of the streamer’s IMDB TV platform.
“Not sure who needs to hear this but SMASH is now finally* available for streaming on AMAZON Prime,” the actress wrote on Twitter today, alerting all of her fans and Smash devotees that the series is now available to stream on Prime Video through Amazon’s IMDb TV channel, which offers all 32 episodes of the show for free with ads.
Smash, which first premiered on NBC in 2012, only ran for two seasons before the network canceled the drama, which followed the production of “Bombshell,” a Marilyn Monroe musical, and the drama behind the scenes of the show. McPhee stars in the series as Karen, a new arrival to New York City who snagged the “Bombshell” leading role of Marilyn, while Megan Hilty plays Broadway actress Ivy Bell, who lost out on the role and is determined to get her big break. Smash also features Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston, Christian Borle and Jack Davenport.

Since its debut and abrupt cancellation just one year later, the show has developed a cult following from its committed audience, who still remain loyal to its original songs, whacky plot points and over-the-top acting nearly ten years later.
“Some might remember Smash today for failing to live up to that outsized initial promise. Some might remember Smash as a disastrous flop,” Decider’s Joe Reid wrote in a 5-year anniversary tribute to the cult show. “But some saw Smash for a dunderheaded yet wholly unique show that didn’t just slip on Broadway as a costume but rather lived Broadway in its bones. No matter how many details it got wrong.”
If you missed out on the musical masterpiece of a series when it was on NBC, now’s your chance to finally experience the story of two dueling Marilyns and much, much more.
