We sense a binge-watching session might be in your immediate future, Roku owners. The platform just got a huge infusion of fresh content, thanks to the addition of HBO Now.

That's right: The premium network's Internet-only, standalone streaming service is now available on the Roku platform. Even better — Roku owners can get a 30-day free trial offer, meaning you have a month to get caught up on all five seasons of Game of Thrones before you have to pay. If you find that you're hooked after the 30-day trial, a subscription will set you back $14.99 a month.

To get started, head over to the Roku Channel Store and add the HBO Now channel to your Roku device. You can then purchase a subscription or start your free trial offer.

A subscription will give you instant access to "all of HBO" on your Roku player or Roku TV, the streaming company said. That includes current hit series like Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, True Detective, and Ballers as well as every episode of every season of classic shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, and Sex and the City. You'll also be able to watch HBO movies like American Sniper, Birdman, Unbroken, and more.

HBO Now launched in the U.S. on April 7, ahead of the Game of Thrones season five premiere. Apple inked an exclusive deal with HBO for the first three months, meaning people could only sign up using an iOS device, and many were eager to do so. The service has since expanded to a number of other platforms including Android and Amazon Fire devices and Android TV.

The new HBO Now channel comes after Roku earlier this week made the jump to ultra high-definition (UHD or 4K) media with its latest media streamer. The new Roku 4 came alongside the launch of Roku OS 7, the latest version of Roku's operating system.
