Apple TV+ Announces Free Weekend [Updated]
Apple TV+ is set to be available to stream for free from Friday, January 3 to Sunday, January 5, providing its full catalog with no subscription fee.
Following a series of teasers, Apple confirmed the free weekend on social media, building anticipation for new releases early in 2025 such as the second season of "Severance." Simply open the Apple TV app to watch for free.
Apple has never done a free all-you-can-watch Apple TV+ event before, but it does offer free trials for new subscribers and it provides the first episodes of some shows so that potential customers can get a preview before choosing to subscribe. The promotion will be available worldwide on all devices where Apple TV+ is available. All that's needed to watch Apple TV+ content is an Apple ID.
Apple TV+ is priced at $9.99 per month, and up to six members of a Family Sharing group are able to watch content at that price point. It is also available in the various Apple One subscription bundles, starting at $19.95 per month.
Update: Information shared on Apple TV+ social media accounts initially said that the promotion would run from January 4 to January 5, but in a press release, Apple says that the free weekend will start on Friday, January 3 and will end on Sunday, January 5.
