In case you’ve hit a wall with your shows to watch, we’ve got huge news: HBO is now offering free streams during lockdown!
The entertainment juggernaut announced that it will be offering nearly 500 hours of free programming for people stuck at home during the COVID-19 outbreak. Yes, you’ll actually be rewarded for practicing social distancing, aka sitting on your couch.
The company began offering hundreds of hours of programming—from "Veep" to "The Sopranos" to "Six Feet Under"—for free last week through its HBO Now and HBO Go apps.
Yes, there are some titles, such as "Game of Thrones" that are noticeably absent from the list, but since the news was announced, they've added even more titles such as the first two seasons of “Big Little Lies." Here's hoping that they'll continue to add more!
It's also offering Warner Bros. movies such as "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part" and "Crazy, Stupid, Love" under the free content drop.
The generous offer is intended to incentivize people to stay at home, thus creating a more safe environment for at-risk individuals and essential workers. They're hoping to make the hashtag #StayHomeBoxOffice trend.
So--what will you be watching on the apps?
