Watch HBO Shows Free for a Month With a Hulu Trial

[VUBot]

Hulu is now offering select HBO shows for no additional cost as part of it subscription plans. The promotion runs through the middle of next month and includes HBO heavy-hitters like The Sopranos and The Wire as well as comedies like Silicon Valley and Barry.

That free trial is for either ad-supported or ad-free Hulu. If you don't plan on keeping your subscription, the ad-free package is the clear winner. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2015/10/25/history-of-awesome-the-sopranos"] This follows the announcement earlier this month HBO is making shows and movies free through its own HBO Go and HBO Now services, although when HBO made the announcement, it didn't give a set time period for the promotion. On Hulu, it runs through May 15, 2020.
Which HBO Shows are on Hulu for Free

The following HBO programs can be streamed for free on Hulu:

• Ballers (5 Seasons)
• Barry (2 Seasons)
• Silicon Valley (6 Seasons)
• Six Feet Under (5 Seasons)
• The Sopranos (7 Seasons)
• Succession (2 Seasons)
• True Blood (7 Seasons
• Veep (7 Seasons)

• United Skates
• We Are the Dream: The Kids of the MLK Oakland Oratorical Fest

In addition to HBO original series, a selection of movies are also available to stream for free, including kid-friendly picks like the underrated The Lego Movie 2 and the appropriately-rated Happy Feet Two. Empire of the Sun is also part of the free streaming selection, which I personally recommend because it's a great movie about a WWII internment camp starring a young Christian Bale, who even as a child was showing off his impressive acting chops. The United Skates documentary also gets a recommendation from me, because it opened my eyes to a scene I was completely unaware of, living way up here in boring Maine. If you'd rather get ad-free Hulu with a Disney+ free trial bundle, you can go that route, too, and basically fill the next 30 days of isolation with mountains of free shows and movies. Ad-free Hulu is $11.99 a month, while regular Hulu is $5.99. Both versions have the same free trial period.
