Apple is letting anyone access its Apple TV+ streaming service for free from Friday to Sunday. The company announced the free streaming weekend earlier this week along with a short video featuring its most popular TV shows, including Severance, Slow Horses, Shrinking and more.
It’s worth noting that this is the first time Apple has offered something like this. The announcement came days after Apple TV+ began teasing that it was planning to open up its content to non-subscribers.
A weekend is enough time to catch up on some of Apple’s most popular shows, especially “Severance,” which returns for its highly anticipated second season on January 17.
Although Apple’s tweet announcing the promotion says Apple TV+ will be free to stream on January 4th and 5th, Apple’s official press release says it will be available for free from January 3rd to 5th.
By opening up access to its content, Apple is likely hoping that people will explore its TV shows and then sign up for a subscription to keep up with the show or watch the rest of the streaming service’s content library.
The company says that Apple TV+ will be free on any device where Apple TV+ is available, and that all you need is an Apple ID to access the streaming service.
Apple TV+ is priced at $9.99 per month and allows up to six members of a Family Sharing group to watch content under a single subscription.
