New episodes of television shows aren't aired on the same day or even week everywhere in the world. For example, new episodes of an anime are going to be out in Japan before they're shown in the United States due to the time it takes to translate and dub it. Likewise, shows made in the United States are, naturally, usually shown in the United States before they're shown in another country. Basically, it only makes sense that a show will be shown first in the country that made it.
However, there is an exception to that rule and that's where this trope comes in. Although a title was made in one country, people in another country may see new episodes first. This can seem extremely odd, at least to the viewers residing the country of origin. This is most common with English-language programming, particularly American shows being aired early in Canada, Australia or the UK; even regions where English isn't the official language, such as Latin America or the Philippines, will still have stations that still broadcast in the language, meaning such works fall prey to the trope easiest. That said, there can (and have) been situations where even the foreign language dub comes out before the original language hits screens.note There's also the case of simulcasting (simultaneous broadcasting); most common with anime, this is when the overseas licensee receives episodes early enough that they can release a subtitled version the same day as the native country airing, if not the same time. But that doesn't fit quite neatly into this trope.
The reason this trope happens is that, once they've paid for them, licensees/networks in those countries often have considerable control over when they want to air the episodes, and they just happen to air them earlier than the original country's station does. Oftentimes a contract will state that episodes cannot be aired before a certain date, anticipating that the home network will air the show before then, but then for whatever reason the airdate in the home country is pushed back, while the foreign station keeps its originally planned airdate.
No matter the case, upon the advent of file-sharing networks and sites like YouTube, this means that anxious viewers in the work's home country gained the ability to see these episodes weeks or even months before they're ever aired.
This may overlap with Germans Love David Hasselhoff, which can sometimes be either a cause or an effect of this phenomenon. After all, if your American show is more well-liked in India than it is back home, might as well just let broadcasters there air them early to take advantage of that fact.
This can also happen during a crisis such as the COVID-19 Pandemic, when establishments such as movie theaters close, delaying or preventing the release of the work in its home country, but allowing it to run in foreign markets.
Contrast Late Export for You, where certain regions get the work later than others, No Export for You, where foreign countries never see the work at all, and Early-Bird Release, when a work has an episode released earlier than its intended airdate in its origin country.
And "Short Run in Peru" does not refer to a work that's short-lived outside its home country. That would be Unfinished Dub. This trope's name refers to the fact the work may have a shorter run overseas due to them getting through all the content faster. Also, while many films premiere in festivals outside of their countries or have theatrical premieres in countries related to their story, remember this trope applies only for regular showings.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a minor case of this trope for the English dub. Granted, while the series is readily available to watch on DVD, and has been since the beginning, the dub has not aired at all on television in its country of origin, while in Australia it aired on ABC3. Which is primarily a children's station, though the series is (luckily) aired in a timeslot which appears to be meant for teenagers.

Sleepless Domain: Despite being an English-language comic, the first print edition to be released was actually a French translation of the first volume in 2018. An English edition was later produced thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign the following year, but it would not be published by Seven Seas Entertainment and sold on store shelves until 2021. This is mitigated, of course, by the fact that this volume was already available in English online before even the French edition was published.

Due to several factors (extremely bad critical reception of the pilot, two school shootings that took place around the time the series was supposed to premiere, and the general climate in the US not being the best for the themes this kind of show presented) nobody bought the rights for domestic distribution of the TV series based on Heathers. The series did end airing in several European countries via HBO, before Paramount Network eventually picked the series back up in the U.S. with edits.

The first Rock Band game was released in America in late 2007, but didn't see a European release until the following May. To make up for the difference, some extra songs were included in the European version of the game that were released as paid DLC in the US version.

Several episodes of MythBusters - namely, "Plane Boarding/Bite the Bullet" and "Traffic Tricks" — for some reason aired in the UK first before being aired in the US. Apparently the root cause of this is that several US bodies and companies were suing Discovery Communications over various aspects of the episodes. But since the lawsuit only named Discovery US, the international counterparts were unaffected and thus got to screen them in line with the season while US viewers needed to wait until the lawsuit was cleared before it could be screened in the US.

Samurai Pizza Cats is an interesting case. While a grand total of 52 episodes of the series were dubbed, Canada (which got the show first) had four dubbed episodes pulled from the package. When the show resurfaced many years later in America, these four episodes were included but twelve different episodes were missing instead. Nobody knows why any of these episodes were pulled – fans have often speculated on censorship (because America), but since they were already dubbed and censored anyway, this argument makes no logical sense unless you're a programming planner at a US TV syndicator.

The extended theatrical release of Earwig and the Witch first premiered in North America in February 2021 before getting released in Japan six months later. Said extended cut would also see a Blu-ray release in North America even before Japanese the theatrical run. Various other European territories already received the film on Blu-ray when the film finally released theatrically in Japan. The film would also take until December to come out on DVD and Blu-ray in Japan, when the film was already out on Blu-ray for months in other countries.

The Trigun movie, "Badlands Rumble", first premiered at SakuraCon in Seattle, Washington, a few months before its Japanese theatrical release, presumably at least partially because of the show was significantly more popular in the US than Japan. Somewhat unusually for this trope, it was shown raw (aka in Japanese with no subtitles)

Seems to be a trend with Power Rangers.
A noted example is the Power Rangers S.P.D. episode "Wormhole", the second crossover episode with Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, which accidentally aired in Canada before the first crossover episode even aired in the US.
Most seasons from the Neo-Saban and Hasbro eras have finished their runs outside the US first, thanks to Nickelodeon putting the show on hiatus over the Mid-Spring and Summer months. Starting with the second season of Dino Fury, the hiatus problem has been eliminated, due to doing a Channel Hop to Netflix.
"Mystic Fate", the two part finale of Power Rangers Mystic Force, first aired in the UK on Jetix prior to its US premiere.

The third-season Married... with Children episode "I'll See You in Court" never aired during its original run on Fox as a right-wing boycott of the show happening at that time lead network executives to become nervous over its premise (the Bundys and Rhoadeses sue a seedy motel that tapes the couples having sex without them knowing). The episode still aired overseas during the show's run but didn't air at all in the U.S. until 2002, five years after the show ended.

A number of superhero films, such as Iron Man 3, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Civil War, X-Men: Apocalypse, The Amazing Spider-Man (and its sequel) and Aquaman were released abroad in several countries several weeks before they received a U.S. release, presumably due to more advantageous schedules and, in the case of the Spider-Man films, a more lucrative foreign market (the rebooted series had limited American success compared to the Sam Raimi films).

This has happened to three different Gerry Anderson series. Several episodes of Space: 1999 made their debut in either the US or Australia before airing in the UK (though not in Italy, even though the series was partly financed by RAI) and a number of episodes of Terrahawks were shown in the US and/or Japan before their British screenings, but the champ in the Anderson canon is Space Precinct — the entire series was shown in America before Britain.

Episodes 13, 14 and 15 of the English dub of Yo Kai Watch aired in Canada weeks before they did in the United States, and episodes 20-26 aired in Australia before their US run.

Stargate:
The initial broadcasts of Stargate SG-1 aired in America ahead of the UK, but when the North American showing had a mid-season hiatus the UK showings catch up, as they continuously aired the episodes in one go.
Something similar happened with season 3 of Stargate Atlantis and Season 10 of Stargate SG-1. The first half and the second half were separated in the US by a few months. The UK had them in one go. This resulted in the latter's show finale, "Unending" being shown in the UK about two months before the US.

Season 6 of The Shield started airing in France (with no changes other than the opening credits being in French) right before it starting airing in the US, and the French run saw two new episodes shown each week, so France quickly jumped way ahead of the US. As you might expect, the French broadcasts proved to be very popular on torrent sites.

Several games in the Japan-created franchise, including most of the mainline Genesis/Mega Drive games, were released in North America before Japan, as the series was created specifically to appeal to Western fans, and also because Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and Sonic Spinball were made at Sega's American branch. But even the 100% Japanese Sonic 1 came out in the US first.

An early instance of this was Superman II, which had an unusually staggered release for an American blockbuster; it launched in Australia, South Africa and much of Europe in December 1980, then in the UK and West Germany around Easter 1981. However, the US release was held off until the summer season, launching on June 19, 1981 - over six months after its initial premiere.

An odd example of this trope: An English dub of Doraemon called The Adventures of Sidney and Albert was produced for TBS in the 1980's, but was left unaired. The dub would show up on a local TV station in Barbados, of all places.

Nintendo Wars:
Advance Wars was originally intended to be a minor example of this, planned to be released in the US shortly before the Japanese release in October 2001. It was then cancelled for unknown reasons and wasn't released in the region until November 2004, in a compilation pack with its sequel that itself only released a year after it came out in overseas territories. For a dose of irony, it was originally intended to be Japan-exclusive like all prior Wars entries as well.
The Japanese release of second Nintendo DS game, Days of Ruin, was delayed several times following the overseas release in early 2008, before they seemed to drop release plans all together. The title wouldn't see release in its home country until October 2013, where it became available exclusively for Club Nintendo members as a digital download title for the Nintendo 3DS.

Happened to H₂O: Just Add Water. The third season was aired in the U.K. before being aired in its native Australia, and took even longer for its debut in the US (TeenNick added episodes of H2O from the third season to its broadcast rotation of the show in January 2012, when the network brought back the series from a short sabbatical from the network. Additional episodes of the second season that were also unseen in the U.S., due to Nickelodeon pulling the program halfway through airing the second season in 2008, were also added to TeenNick airings of the show).

Spider-Man: Far From Home was released in China on the weekend preceding its U.S. release to avoid the threat of competition by the Chinese would-be blockbuster The Eight Hundred. Ironically, though, The Eight Hundred saw its release cancelled, apparently due to Chinese censors, shortly before the opening of Far From Home.note The Eight Hundred would ultimately open around the world in August 2020.

Warcraft began its worldwide run two weeks prior to its U.S. release, with some suggesting the move as an effort to save face for a pending lackluster debut in its home territory. Warcraft was one of many summer movies (Civil War, Apocalypse, Neighbors 2, The Angry Birds Movie) which are getting earlier in foreign markets — not only to take advantage of international money, but because the European Championship will make it hard to drive Association Football fans to theaters.

Horror of Dracula, the British studio Hammer Film Productions' 1958 adaptation of Dracula, had its world premiere in Milwaukee, of all places, as part of a double feature with The Thing That Couldn't Die. It had its British premiere in London two weeks later. What's more, the film was titled simply Dracula in its native UK, but was changed to Horror of Dracula in the US to avoid confusion with Universal's more famous 1931 adaptation.

The American indie horror film All the Boys Love Mandy Lane was released in Britain in 2008... and was not released in America until 2013, due to the rights for the film being caught in a legal limbo when its distributor went out of business.

A unique mention is the Korean MMORPG Grand Chase, where Rin, a character that was created by Brazilian players through a forum suggestion, got sent to the developers and then gave the Brazilian server Rin first, while Koreans got it some time afterward. Her second job arrived in Brazil three weeks before the Korean server got it. Normally the Korean server gets the latest updates, but this was the first time a new update was developed and released outside the Korean server first. Uno, the last character, would actually get a day zero release in Brazil, as Korea got it a day later.

The Pokémon: The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon anime special aired in the US first, despite being specifically made for the tenth anniversary of the games' Japanese release (back then, North America got the games years later). Since the other episodes of the anime were aired in their original order in the US, the special actually aired an entire year before it would normally air. The most likely reason is that Pokémon USA used the special to test out the new voice actors that would be replacing the 4Kids actors the following year.

The Rolling Stones:
In July of 1965 "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" was topping the American charts but hadn't even been released in the UK. The US release had been in June, but it didn't come out in the UK until late August. Since it was recorded at the RCA studios in Hollywood, their American label had easier access to it.
"Sad Day" was released as the b-side of the US single of "19th Nervous Breakdown", whereas the UK got an album track instead. It wasn't until the 70s that "Sad Day" got a UK release.
"Cocksucker Blues" was recorded in 1970 as a Contractual Obligation Project for Decca/London Records, who declined to release it in the UK due to its deliberately offensive lyrics. It was widely bootlegged, but its first and only official vinyl release was as a bonus single on early pressings of The Rest of the Best, a compilation released in West Germany in the early 1980s which also features a number of other fairly rare tracks.

The Yu-Gi-Oh!: Capsule Monsters miniseries, which used the 4Kids cast, first aired on RTÉ Two in Ireland. US fans didn't even know about it until after the second episode had aired. Their run of Pokémon also overtook other countries (including the US) for a while back in 2000. RTÉ airs quite a few US shows very early, at least before the UK. This is due to licensing being much cheaper for such a small country like Ireland, and trying to beat competition from UK channels which are easily available on cable and satellite (or terrestrially if you're near the border or south east coast).

Super Punch-Out!! for the SNES was released in 1994 in the Americas and early 1995 in Europe. Japan (the game's country of origin) didn't receive it until early 1998.

Trolls:
Once the COVID-19 pandemic was closing enough theaters to make Trolls World Tour go straight to streaming (aside from opening in whatever screens could still be used, mostly drive-ins), this meant only Russia, Singapore, and Malaysia got traditional releases.
Trolls Band Together started its international rollout in October of 2023 starting in the UK, parts of Europe and Latin American countries, before it's US release November 17.

Teknoman, the English-language adaptation of Tekkaman Blade, had its entire run air in Australia before it premiered in the US (which only ended up screening about half the series). It was also a different dub that had the main character keep his original name, and is generally seen to be closer to the original, and did not tell the entire backstory in the opening credits either. This is the version used for the DVD release.

The Adventures of Tintin was released in European countries in Fall 2011, and was one of the most popular movies of the year over there, but it didn't hit American theaters until December, and it bombed therenote Granted, December is a very tough time in America for any film that isn't either Christmasy, a planned late-year blockbuster, or Oscar Bait. Probably due to the fact that while Tintin is one of the most successful and well-known franchises in Europe, it's hardly known in America aside from hardcore fans (and children who watched the animated version on Nickelodeon). Even in North America, the movie debuted earlier in Quebec, where Tintin (and Franco-Belgian Comics in general) are huge cultural icons.

Garth Marenghis Darkplace is the Trope Namer for this, in story. In the first few minutes of the first episode, Marenghi, the fictitious "creator" of the Show Within a Show, mentions that although the show was never broadcast in its native land of Britain when first produced in The '80s, it did have "a brief run in Peru".

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Several games in the Japan-created franchise, including most of the mainline Genesis/Mega Drive games, were released in North America before Japan, as the series was created specifically to appeal to Western fans, and also because Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and Sonic Spinball were made at Sega's American branch. But even the 100% Japanese Sonic 1 came out in the US first.
Sonic 3D Blast (a.k.a Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island), made by UK firm Travellers Tales, saw first release in Europe, then North America about a month later, then finally Japan over a year later.
This happens from time to time even in the "Modern" Era, though nearly all production has moved back to Japan, on the occasions where Sega has Americans write the scenarios (thus the English dub gets recorded first).

Allen's next film, Rifkin's Festival, went through a similar ordeal, beginning its European launch in October 2020, and MPI Media Group finally releasing it in the American market in January 2022. Time will tell if they also distribute Allen's latest film, Coup De Chance, which is actually a French production. No surprise there.

In the US, South of Nowhere had its Season 3B premiere pushed back from May to October 2008. However, it appears that France did not have the mid-season break that the US uses, meaning that the series (which was filmed between seasons) aired in its entirety there.

During the event Comiket 92 in Japan in 2017, visitors to the developers' booth could play the song "Auxesia" about a week before it would be available to all players, as well as purchase an unlock code to unlock it on their in-game account early.

Doctor Who:
20th anniversary special "The Five Doctors" aired on a collection of PBS member stations in the US before it aired in the UK. This is because the BBC decided to delay the special to Children in Need Night 1983 — November 25th — whereas the PBS stations just went ahead and aired it on the actual anniversary, November 23rd.
Parts 2 and 3 of the Seventh Doctor story "Silver Nemesis" aired in New Zealand as part of a compilation broadcast prior to being shown in the UK.
The 1996 television movie aired in Canada and the US two weeks before it hit British airwaves, due in part to it being an international co-production between the BBC and Fox.

The Master System version of Darius II, known as Sagaia outside of Japan, was originally released exclusively in Europe in 1992 to cash in on the console's enduring popularity in the region (meanwhile, Japan and North America would get the Genesis/MD port instead), and would not see a release in Japan until 2019 when it was included in the console port and special editions of Darius Cozmic Collection, 27 years later.

This wound up happening to the Argentine Disney series BIA during its second season. In Hispanic America, the show took a mid-season break after the 40th episode in early May 2020. In Spain, which began to air the season around a month after in Latin America, there were no breaks in its run and unaired episodes began to premiere later in June. Because of how widespread spoilers and unauthorized copies of the episodes became, the network abruptly moved up the premiere date in Hispanic America to the following week and aired marathons of episodes that had yet to be rerun before then. The season would go on to finish in Hispanic America the day after it finished in Spain.

This practice was pointed out in Henry Jenkins's Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture, with fans on the US/Canada border recording French-dubbed episodes of Beauty and the Beast that aired a few days (or weeks) earlier than the US Stations, and the women at the viewing party "shouting out" lines they understood from old high-school French classes.

This happened with the first season of Battlestar Galactica, which was co-produced by the Sci-Fi Channel and BSkyB. By the time the series premiered in the US, all but the final episode had already aired in the UK. Series creators Ron Moore and David Eick went so far as to post a plea on the show's official message board asking American fans not to download the episodes before they aired in the US (what an oddly specific request).

Pokémon: The Series:
The Pokémon: The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon anime special aired in the US first, despite being specifically made for the tenth anniversary of the games' Japanese release (back then, North America got the games years later). Since the other episodes of the anime were aired in their original order in the US, the special actually aired an entire year before it would normally air. The most likely reason is that Pokémon USA used the special to test out the new voice actors that would be replacing the 4Kids actors the following year.
And then there's Pokémon Chronicles. While it was a compilation of episodes that had previously aired in Japan (3 1/2 years previously in the case of the opening three-parter), the series debuted in the UK a whole year before US audiences saw it, with Canada picking it up not long after the UK. The US promos still called it a world premiere.
The UK has a regular history of jumping ahead of the US for a few episodes, then falling far behind. In the same year as Chronicles, Advanced Battle had the Spoiler Opening edited to cover up Pokémon that weren't supposed to be shown outside Japan yet an episode later than in the US airing due to scheduling. And in a massive case of timing, it came out that Kids WB would be skipping three episodes (later turned out to be delayed by two months) right as the third of those episodes was airing in the UK.
Many episodes of Black and White: Rival Destinies aired in Italy before every other western country.
The first two episodes of Sun and Moon aired on CITV in the UK first before their US premiere. In addition, the first two episodes of Sun and Moon premiered on Disney XD in the US before XY, the previous season, has finished its Cartoon Network US airing.
Starting with Pokémon: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, the English dubs of the films would air in Australia and New Zealand before the United States.
A good chunk of episodes from Pokémon Ultimate Journeys aired in European countries before their US release.

A well-known instance of this on the anime front was Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. According to The Other Wiki, Bloodlust had its world premiere in Australia over a year before it screened in Japan or the US. Unusually for an anime, the English dub was recorded first (in fact, the initial Japanese DVD release of the film was English-only).

Something similar happened with season 3 of Stargate Atlantis and Season 10 of Stargate SG-1. The first half and the second half were separated in the US by a few months. The UK had them in one go. This resulted in the latter's show finale, "Unending" being shown in the UK about two months before the US.

Yet another Cartoon Network / Adult Swim co-production, FLCL Progressive premiered in the U.S on June 2, 2018, over three months before its Japanese release. But for their annual April Fools' prank, Adult Swim had a stealth premiere of FLCL Alternative, in Japanese, five months before premiering in Japan.

Quest 64 was developed in Japan, but was released in the United States over a year before Japan.

A number of second season episodes of LazyTown have never aired in the US, most of them airing first in the UK or Canada, though two aired first in Australia. This is presumably due to attempts on Nickelodeon's part to screw the show over, but forgetting that Lazy Town is neither under their control nor dependent on the American market (the next season was commissioned by The BBC), and it continues to be a success in the rest of the world. Even outside the US, Lazy Town is consistently released in a number of English-speaking markets before it is dubbed for showing in Iceland, its actual country of production.

Coco was released in Mexico a little under four weeks earlier (October 27) before its set release (November 22) in the United States, since Día de Muertos, which the film centers around, is November 2 and being released long after the holiday would make little sense.

Season 4 of Johnson and Friends first aired in the U.S. in 1994, but it wouldn't air in its native Australia until two years later. This was likely because Fox Kids and WQED Pittsburgh footed the entire bill thanks to the show's sudden popularity on the former network.

The third season of Primeval aired one and sometimes even two episodes in advance in Spain compared to the UK.

Afro Samurai was produced in English. As such, Spike TV premiered the series in the United States before its Japanese broadcast.

Babylon 5 aired in the US amid the then-usual reruns. What was not usual was that PTEN, Babylon 5's distribution network, typically held back the last four to five episodes of each season until the next season was ready to air. This meant season-ending story arcs intended to keep viewers intrigued over a hiatus between seasons never lined up with the hiatus. Channel Four in the UK ignored all this and showed each season in weekly order, meaning the UK saw the last four or five episodes of each season weeks or months before the US airing.

Nightmare Circus was intended for physical release in North America in late 1995, but ultimately canceled by Sega of America, only to surface on the Sega Channel in late 1996. Between cancellation and release, it was brought to store shelves in Brazil by Sega's local publisher Tectoy. This version is an Obvious Beta, suggesting that it was the last version of the game before its official cancellation.

The Hamtaro episode "Happy Ham-Ham Halloween!" aired in the U.S. on October 21, 2003, ten days before its Japanese airdate on October 31. That means the English distributors of Hamtaro got the episode, dubbed it and made any other localization edits (there was Japanese text that got changed to English, for example), and got it to Cartoon Network before it ever aired in Japan. It should also be noted that in Japan it was episode 173, and the English dub didn't dub past episode 105 in order, so this episode was treated as a special in the U.S. instead.
