STREAM FREE: On Jan. 4 and 5, Apple TV+ is going subscription-free. Catch up on the hit shows like Severance before its second season premieres on January 17.
In the age of a thousand streaming services, we’re pretty good at maximizing those free trials. Slyly signing up for the week, binging all the buzzy shows and movies, and then quickly canceling before that recurring payment kicks in. However, once you’ve used that free trial, you’re out of luck. But this weekend only, Apple TV+ is opening its gates and letting you watch totally free.
On Jan. 4 and 5, watch Apple TV+’s full library of movies and TV without a subscription. And this is no free trial that you have to remember to cancel. Here’s how to watch Apple TV+ for free this weekend.
