“Animal Control,” a workplace sitcom with occasional raccoon appearances, has already aired in the U.S. and was so successful that Channel 4 lobbied to bring it to the UK starting Sunday, July 21. Read on to find out how to watch “Animal Control” from anywhere with a VPN and for free.

Frank is a masterful smartass (though not as smart as he thinks he is), but his partner, Fred “Shred” Taylor (played by Michael Roland), a former professional snowboarder, couldn't be more eccentric. Here, too, there are laughs with the other members of the team and a variety of animals, including pythons, peacocks, alpacas, and mountain lions. And kangaroos.

The lovely but incompetent boss Emily (Vera Lavelle), the goofy family man Amit (Ravi Patel), the stressed-out office manager Dolores (Kelly Ogmundson), rival chief Templeton (Gerry Dee), and the “hot vet,” Summers Doctor (Alvina August). The unlucky humans solve the problems caused by the animals.

Season 1 was a huge hit. Season 2 has already been released in the U.S., and Season 3 is underway. You can watch “Animal Control” online from anywhere.

In the UK, “Animal Control” will premiere on Sunday, July 21 at 8:30 PM BST on E4, followed by free streaming on Channel 4. Season 2 will air in the UK shortly.
