PCU Zeitgeist: Free for Quarantine
Since the start of the Quarantine 2020, varying streaming platforms and mobile apps have offered longer than usual free trials to fight the boredom while we all stay home. I’ve done my best to compile a list.
Disclaimers:
- All links included are current information as of April 3, 2020
- I live in Washington, DC, USA, so some of these offers may not be available in your area.
- I presume the free trials are for new subscribers only. Please read the provider’s page for more information.
- I’ve only included services with subscription fees. Some may require a credit card to sign up.
- None of the links in this post are affiliate links. Neither Pop Culture Uncovered, nor I will benefit from your patronage.
Starting off, if you are a cable subscriber, check your provider, they are making varying channels available across all service tiers. For example, The Cooking Channel is not included in my channel line up but my provider has made it available for a few weeks. The channels and times will vary; check your provider’s website for current offerings.
Streaming Television

CBS All Access – expires April 23, 2020
Acorn TV with code FREE30.
Showtime Anytime expires May 3rd

If you are a member of Amazon Prime, search around the channels inside the app, there may be offers hiding in there. In a search conducted on April 3, Curiosity Stream (documentaries) is offering a 30-day free trial; this offer is not available on their website. Check back as the channel offerings could change.
