All Sky TV customers to get free access to box sets with no strings attached

All Sky TV customers will be able to access box sets for free later this month as part of the media giant’s latest offering.

The network said anyone with a Sky package will be able to watch box sets for free for two weeks – including shows such as The Handmaid’s Tale and Twin Peaks.

The offer, which coincides with the May bank holiday and half-term in the UK, will run from Friday 24 May to Sunday 9 June.

Anyone without Sky Box Sets or Ultimate On Demand subscriptions will be able to redeem it – with no strings attached.

The promotion, which will include the first season of over 30 of Sky’s box sets, will need to be activated by the bill payer.

Customers can do so by heading over to the ‘on demand’ section of their Sky Q homepage, or the Sky Box Sets section on Sky+.

The deal comes just weeks after Sky announced a shake up of Sky Go for thousands of customers.

The add on, which allows you to watch sports, films, kids’ content and more while on the move or in a different room, is no longer limited to just two devices.

New rules mean households can now watch shows on six different screens – and if you’re a Sky Mobile customer you won’t have to pay for the data you use for it, either.

In the past, the subscription-free Sky product had allowed streaming on up to four devices, however you can now set the service on up to six devices through the app.
