You are officially out of excuses to not see what Severance, Slow Horses, Shrinking or Silo — or any of Apple TV+’s shows that don’t start with the letter “S” — are all about.

The premium streamer has announced that anyone and everyone will be able to stream its original TV series and what not for free this weekend, Friday, Jan. 3 through Sunday, Jan. 5. (An Apple TV+ subscription usually fetches $9.99 month.)

Just think, as you recover from holiday season revelry you could binge both seasons of the acclaimed comedy Shrinking, four seasons of the alt-reality sci-fi drama For All Mankind, the one-and-done Constellation, three seasons of The Morning Show, 18 of Silo‘s 20 episodes, or catch up on Severance and decide if you want to break out a couple Alexander Hamiltons to subscribe for its 10-episode Season 2 (premiering Jan. 17).

How will you spend your free weekend of streaming Apple TV+?
