Check Netflix in your own region

Netflix maintains a title page for Band of Brothers, but a searchable public page is not a guarantee that the series can be played with your account. Open the listing while signed in, confirm the episode list and use the service’s own availability information. This website does not maintain a live country-by-country subscription feed.

Story and leading cast

The series follows the company from training through its European campaign, emphasizing the changing responsibilities and losses within the group. Damian Lewis plays Richard Winters, Ron Livingston plays Lewis Nixon and Donnie Wahlberg plays Carwood Lipton. It adapts Stephen E. Ambrose’s book and combines dramatization with veteran testimony.

Viewing order and related series

Watch the ten episodes in their numbered order. The Pacific follows a different theater and group of servicemen; it is a related production rather than season two of the same company’s story. Band of Brothers includes sustained combat violence and disturbing wartime material, making its tone very different from an action adventure that uses war only as scenery.
