Max is currently offering a free seven-day trial to new subscribers through June 23 — just in time to watch the June 16 premiere of the latest season of House of the Dragon. Max doesn’t typically offer free trials, so this is a perfect opportunity to catch up on the first season of the Game of Thrones spinoff. But there’s plenty of other essential viewing available exclusively on Max.

Some of our favorite shows on Max include The Regime, The Last of Us, True Detective: Night Country, and Our Flag Means Death. In addition to its outstanding collection of original programming, Max is also the only place to stream Dune Part Two, Avatar: The Way of Water, and the entire Studio Ghibli catalog.

This promotion entitles you to an ad-free week of the streaming service, but will renew with your selected ad-free or ad-supported plan afterwards. The annual ad-supported plan for Max is available for $99.99, but doesn’t allow for offline viewing. However, the $169.99 ad-free annual plan allows you to download up to 30 episodes or movies to watch while you’re away from home.
