Good news, fantasy fans. HBO has just announced that its service will be free this weekend, from Friday to Monday. Just in time to catch the first episode of Game of Thrones season 6.


The company is putting out a 48-hour trial period for its cable channel, which normally comes at a premium on top of your cable service. For this weekend only, you can tune in regardless of your cable package. This also coincides with the season premiere of Silicon Valley, the Pay-TV premier of Jurassic World, and another episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

For those who don’t have a cable subscription at all, you can still (possibly!) get in on the free action. HBO Now is still running a free trial promotion that will give you your first month free, after which the service costs $14.99. If you start it on Sunday, you may be able to get through four or five episodes of Game of Thrones before your free month is up.
