Original from www.engadget.com On July 29th, it was announced that the hit science fiction drama, “Westworld”, will soon be available for streaming on Roku and Tubi, making it available for free after leaving HBO Max.
The show, which first aired in 2016, has been captivating viewers ever since. It follows the story of a fictional world inhabited by androids, where visitors pay to experience a Western-style cowboy life. In the show, nothing is as it seems and a high-stakes conspiracy unfolds that leads to some shocking revelations.
Now, viewers can look forward to watching the show’s wildly popular first two seasons and catch up on the last two seasons, which are set to air later this year. It will be available on both the Roku Channel, which is pre-installed on streaming devices, and the popular streaming service Tubi.
Roku and Tubi have been strategizing to offer viewers more options at no additional cost. The availability of shows like “Westworld” will make the services even more attractive. It’s a win for both the viewers, who will have more options for free streaming, as well as the companies, who have access to more content.
As viewers prepare to watch the upcoming series, they’ll be able to do so with the comfort of knowing that the show is being made available for free. This will no doubt satisfy fans of the series and prepare them for the new season airing in the Fall.
