Beloved noughties medical drama House has found a new streaming home in the UK and Ireland.

Starring Hugh Laurie, the American drama follows a misanthropic doctor with a penchant for flouting the rules and clashing with his colleagues, as well as a crippling addiction.

Currently available on Prime Video, the show will also be available on Netflix for subscribers from Tuesday, April 1.

House (Or House, M.D. if you prefer) ran for eight seasons between 2004 and 2012, and in that time it garnered a heap of critical praise and awards, including two Golden Globes and five Primetime Emmys.

Overall, the show has an 89% positive rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, with professional critics calling it "the epitome of episodic television" with "generally exceptional production values" and a "fascinating to watch" performance from its lead star.

When the show was announced to be ending with its eighth season, Laurie explained that he felt that character's central narrative conflict is, by nature, one that audiences "eventually will lose interest" in.

"I certainly felt – and I think that [this] was a general view – that we should fold up our tent and steal away into the night before the tension had lessened," he explained.

Meanwhile, Netflix has recently added a few other dramas starring some big UK names, including Joanne Froggatt and Maxine Peake's true-crime two-parter See No Evil: The Moors Murders, and Vicky McClure's psychological thriller The Replacement.

All eight seasons of House are on Prime Video, and will be on Netflix from April 1.
