Sky TV is giving away some of its best shows for FREE, here’s how to watch right now
SKY customers are now able to binge-watch some of the best exclusive shows available on Sky TV for free - and the timing is absolutely perfect.
If you're a Sky TV customer struggling to find things to keep you entertained during lockdown, then we have some great news for you. The satellite broadcaster is enabling everyone to access a number of on-demand boxsets exclusive to the service. Sky usually charges an extra monthly fee to access its on-demand library, which includes the likes of Game Of Thrones, Chernobyl and more. The initiative comes as millions are being urged to stay at home to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
The free boxsets are part of a new 'ReWatch' campaign from Sky designed to push some of its more award-laden shows to people who didn't have time to catch them the first time around. Iconic series such as Game of Thrones, Chernobyl and Parks & Recreation are available on-demand for all Sky TV customers right now.
These hit shows will be available to watch for Sky+, Sky Q, Sky Go and all Sky customers with a basic TV subscription. Sky Essential customers, however, will not have access to the ReWatch boxsets.
The ReWatch campaign kicked off on Friday May 8 as Britain marked the 75th anniversary of VE Day - which was also a Bank Holiday.

Sky said the new addition to their service highlights the "very best" of what it has to offer. The broadcasting giant said: "'ReWatch’ is designed to help ease boredom and offer some escapism while the country is still in lockdown. With a wide variety of content available, customers can enjoy the very best of what Sky has to offer, without making a single change to their subscription, with over 100 boxsets and 2000 hours of content available.
"Starting with every Game of Thrones episode ever – just in time for this bank holiday weekend – the brilliant and binge-worthy box sets will become available throughout May and June, as well as exclusive and on-demand content from Sky History, Sky Nature and Sky Documentaries once these channels launch later this month."
Other content that is available to watch on-demand right now includes Sex and the City, 30 Rock and Girls. While critically acclaimed shows such as Big Little Lies, Sopranos and The Wire will be available from Monday May 18.
