How to watch 'Pawn Stars' season 23 online and from anywhere

The doors to the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop are once again open for business as Corey, Rick and Chum prepare for more hard negotiations and easy sales. Here's how to watch "Pawn Stars" season 23 online and from anywhere with a VPN.

Following the fortunes of the Las Vegas pawn shop, the show sees Rick Harrison, his son Corey and Corey’s best friend Chum deal with the weird and wonderful customers who walk through their doors looking to buy, sell and pawn. The season opener this year promises a visit from “Tell It to My Heart” singer Taylor Dayne who is looking to pass on a whole heap of tour memorabilia from her 80s heyday, with the music theme continuing as Corey haggles over an award once given to Dolly Parton. Chum, meanwhile, looks to be preoccupied by a Darth Vader nutcracker.

It may seem a simple premise for a show that’s run this long, and it is. But two things keep viewers coming back for more each season. The first is the camaraderie between the three leads, especially poignant since the passing of Rick’s father and shop co-owner Richard Harrison, aka The Old Man. The second is the items themselves. Often unique relics of history and pop culture, every piece bought through the doors of World Famous has a story. Some are incredibly poignant personal connections to an unassuming item, while some leave the boys slack-jawed at how a customer came across such an item. And when we do finally get down to the nitty gritty, it’s hugely entertaining to watch three masters of negotiation at work.

By now, viewers know what to expect from Rick, Corey and Chum, and it’s sure to be as entertaining as always. So read on to find out how to watch "Pawn Stars" season 23 online and from anywhere.
