You can now watch select Netflix shows for free


In an effort to attract new customers to the service, Netflix has made some of its best original TV shows and movies available for free.

Stranger Things, Bird Box and The Two Popes are just a few of the streaming service's exclusive shows that anyone can now watch without a Netflix account.

Netflix offers free shows and movies

Historically, the only way for most of us to watch Netflix content for free was to sign up for a limited free trial. That has changed now with the introduction of Netflix's Watch Free section.

You can watch all of select Netflix Original movies, plus the first episode of select TV shows, all for free without an account.

Exclusives available are Stranger Things, Elite, The Boss Baby:Back in Business, Bird Box, Love is Blind, Grace and Frankie, The Two Popes, Murder Mystery, When They See Us and Our Planet.

The same content is available worldwide. According to Netflix, "the selection may change from time to time". However, due to licensing restrictions, we can assume that the offerings will still be one of his original productions.

This isn't the first time Netflix has offered free tasters. Last year, the company experimented with distributing the first episode of local shows in India and Latin America.

And in April 2020, Netflix made a slew of free documentaries to watch on YouTube.

While Netflix added 15.8 million new subscribers to the service in the first quarter of 2020, giving it a total of 182 million customers worldwide, it's clear the company isn't resting on its laurels.

What platforms are supported?

Unfortunately, free Netflix content is not available on all platforms. You must use a computer browser (although it won't work in incognito mode) or an Android device. You're out of luck if you're using an iOS browser.

If you are eligible, simply visit the Watch Free page and hit Watch Now to immediately start streaming those TV shows or movies.

Are you going to subscribe to Netflix?

If these free samples of its original content entice more people to subscribe to Netflix, the company will consider that a success. And there are plenty of reasons why you should sign up for Netflix.

Not only does Netflix have great original shows and movies, there are no ads, you can use multiple devices, and the company supports global creators.
