HBO is joining the wave of companies that are offering free access to their content to placate everyone sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Starting on April 3, the HBO Now and HBO Go apps will offer freebies to anyone the doesn’t already have a paid subscription. The trove of over 500 hours of free content includes all seasons of The Sopranos, Silicon Valley, The Wire and Ballers. But if you’re hoping to finally catch up Game of Thrones for free, you’ll be sorely disappointed.
HBO’s move to open up access to its content comes after parent company AT&T Time Warner made it free to access Starz, Epix and Cinemax for a limited time. Comcast did the same thing with Showtime, History VAULT, DOGTV, and more. SXSW also announced that it is partnering to make its lineup of films available to stream for free on Amazon Prime Video for 10 days.
