HBO’s Free Streaming Binge-a-Thon Expires This Week

variety.com:

By Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor HBO freeloaders have only a few days left to binge-watch the premium programmer’s unprecedented batch of 500 hours of TV shows, movies and documentaries — which it has made available for free for the month of April.

The huge trove of HBO content, which has been free across a range of platforms (only in the U.S.), will be going back behind the paywall after April 30.

On April 3, HBO unlocked full seasons of nine original series — 490 episodes in all: “The Sopranos,” “The Wire,” “Veep,” “Succession,” “Silicon Valley,” “Six Feet Under,” “Ballers,” “Barry” and “True Blood.” A week later, it added the two seasons of “Big Little Lies” (14 episodes) to the mix.
