Here’s some good news for anyone looking for free stuff to stream: Showtime has temporarily extended its free trial to 30 days for new customers. Sign up before May 3, and you’ll get a whole month to binge all the movies, original series, comedy specials, and documentaries you want. Cancel before the first bill arrives, and you won’t have to pay a dime. It’s a no-risk way to add a heap of content to your media diet for the next month as we’re all stuck inside.

Even setting aside the movies available on the platform, which currently include titles like The Happytime Murders and Green Book, Showtime has an impressive array of original programming to sink your teeth into. The big one at the moment is Homeland, a show about a CIA agent involved in life-or-death terrorist plots. Its excellent final season is airing now; this trial lets you watch the entire series, including new episodes as soon as they arrive.
Aside from that, there’s Billions, a gripping drama about two powerful, morally-compromised men whose singular goal is to destroy the other. Shameless, a dramedy about a poor family in Chicago, has been a longtime favorite. Then there are shows like The Chi, On Becoming a God in Central Florida, Ray Donovan, Kidding, The Affair, Black Monday, The L Word, and a whole bunch more. This free trial gets you access to hundreds and hundreds of hours of entertainment.
