HBO is making the best shows like Sopranos, Succession, or The Wire, free for all

Those folks who signed for AT&T's Elite Unlimited plan, expecting that it will be their gateway to HBO Max when it launches next month, might be a bit miffed about today's HBO announcement but it is all for a good cause.

The Elite plan starts at $45 for a line if you are a family of five, up to $85 for single line, and includes an HBO subscription among many other perks. Said HBO, however, now part of the AT&T family of media companies with the Time Warner merger, announced that is is making some of its best shows free as part of the #StayHomeBoxOffice campaign meant to ease the burden of coronavirus lockdown.

Free HBO shows and movies you can watch during coronavirus lockdown without subscription

Those under quarantine, or those who are simply saving the world by chillaxing at home, will now have the option to stream old and new show classics like "The Sopranos," "The Wire," "Succession," "Barry," "Silicon Valley," "Veep," "Ballers," "True Blood," "Six Feet Under," and many more, for free on HBO Now and Go.

In addition, you will get access to a bunch of HBO documentaries, Warner Bros. movies, and a whole lot of family content like "Pokemon Detective Pikachu," "Smallfoot," or "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part."

More than 500 hours of programming in total will be available to stream without a subscription on the HBO Now and HBO Go websites. Sorry, AT&T Elite Unlimited plan subscribers, but the carrier will soothe your I-paid-for-free pains by providing you exclusive HBO Max access when the award-winning streaming service lands in May. Moreover, not all of the best HBO content is for grabs, as other top-shelf series like Game of Thrones are not included in the promotion.
