October 5th, 2024

From powerful investigations to eerie mysteries, Dateline captivated the American public with its real-life crimes with real-life people in bad situations, popularizing the true crime genre as we know it. It’s because of this that Dateline became the longest running series in NBC primetime, and it’s because of this that Dateline now returns with another season.

Where to watch Dateline Season 33

The latest season of Dateline airs every Friday at 9 PM ET / 8 PM CT on NBC, starting September 27. Each episode streams the next day on Peacock.

There are two ways to watch Dateline Season 33: live on NBC or streaming on Peacock.

Season 33 starts off with the story of Katelyn Markham, a 21-year-old art student who disappeared in August 2011 only to reappear two years later in the woods. For nearly a decade, her family pushed for her investigation, and they finally found justice.

Disappearances like these, as well as other intriguing mysteries, are available to watch in the latest Dateline season.
