The jaw-dropping true story of Amanda Riley's cancer scam is now streaming — here's where to watch Scamanda

If you missed Scamanda while it was airing on ABC, don't worry — you're not alone. The four-episode docuseries just wrapped up on Feb. 20, and people are shook. The series aired on Thursdays, slowly unraveling the wild true story of Amanda Riley, a woman who convinced everyone — friends, family, even a whole church — that she was battling cancer. Spoiler: she wasn't. But that didn't stop her from pulling in thousands of dollars in donations while she lived a life that was significantly less "terminal illness" and significantly more "luxury vacations and inspirational blogging."
It's time to learn where to watch Scamanda now that it's available on streaming.



Scamanda
HuluIf you're unfamiliar with Amanda Riley, here's the quick version: She faked having cancer for years, chronicling her "battle" on social media and convincing people to donate money for medical treatments that didn't exist. She scammed her own community, lied to just about everyone, and somehow kept it going for almost a decade before the whole thing came crashing down. The docuseries walks you through it all — her rise as a beloved, "inspirational" figure and her eventual downfall when, surprise, the FBI got involved.
Interestingly, Scamanda isn't the only scammer saga making waves right now. Over on Netflix, Apple Cider Vinegar has been climbing the charts. That series tells the story of Belle Gibson, an Australian woman who built an entire wellness empire off of the claim that she cured her terminal brain cancer naturally. Spoiler (again): No brain cancer. No cure. Just a whole lot of people left wondering how they fell for it. If you're in the mood for a scammer double feature, these two are a wild ride.
Now that Scamanda has wrapped up, you can catch all four episodes on Hulu and Fubo within your existing subscription. It's also available to purchase on Prime Video and Apple TV as well. So if you need something to watch that will make you question everything about social media, influencer culture, and why people keep trusting inspirational bloggers with no medical credentials, this one's worth the binge. Learn more below.
If you're looking to watch Scamanda, Hulu is the place to be. While you can subscribe to Hulu on its own, the best value comes with the Disney Bundle. There are a few ways to go about it, but plans start at $10.99/month for Hulu and Disney+. You can also bundle Hulu, Disney+, and either Max or ESPN+ for $16.99/month. And if live TV is a must, Hulu + Live TV offers Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ along with 95+ channels for $82.99/month.
While Fubo is best known for live TV, it also offers a solid on-demand library packed with movies and shows — including Scamanda. Fubo's most inexpensive tier, the Essential plan, costs $84.99/month and has access to over 210 channels, unlimited DVR, and ability to watch on up to 10 devices.

Scamanda is also available on Apple TV, where you can purchase the season for $8.99 or individual episodes for $2.99 each. While Apple TV doesn't have live content, it has some of the best original TV shows out of any subscription service. In addition to Scamanda, you can watch hit series such as Severance, Silo, Ted Lasso, and more, making this a worthwhile option to consider.
On Prime Video, you can purchase episodes of Scamanda at $2.99 apiece, or the whole season to own forever at $8.99.
Watching Scamanda outside the U.S. can be tricky due to regional restrictions considering services like Hulu are only available in America, but a VPN makes it easy to stream on Hulu no matter where you are.
