HBO is unlocking its biggest trove of free programming ever — in a goodwill gesture as people look for a diversion during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The WarnerMedia-owned premium cabler is making almost 500 hours of programming available to stream for free (without ads) for a limited time on HBO Now and HBO Go services without a subscription, starting this Friday, April 3.

The list of free programming includes every episode of nine HBO series: “The Sopranos,” “Veep,” “Succession,” “Six Feet Under,” “The Wire,” “Ballers,” “Barry,” “Silicon Valley” and “True Blood.”

1. Launch The Roku Channel from the Roku home screen.

2. Hit the up arrow key on your remote to locate the 'Search' tile.

3. Select the Search tile and then type in the name of the free content you want to watch.

4. In the results, when you select the show, documentary, etc. you will see an option for 'See all episodes' with the number of free episodes listed next to it. Select this option to go to the series details page and browse available seasons for free content.
