We're also seeing a number of services, including Max, drop support for free trials, ensuring that no one other than paying subscribers can access their great content. Fortunately, if you haven't previously subscribed to Max, you can Sign up for a rare one-week trial until the end of today, June 23.
Admittedly, a week isn't enough time to review Max's extensive catalog of original programming, which includes newer shows like tricksthe animated science fiction epic The reign of the scavenger, True Detective: Night Countryand last year's excellent adaptation of The last of us. It's enough time to revisit Dune: Part Two and your favorite Studio Ghibli movie, as well as the first episodes of the new season of Dragon House.
Max's current seven-day trial extends to all three subscription tiers, all of which are set to automatically renew at the end of the trial period if you don't cancel your subscription beforehand. The annual ad-supported plan starts at $9.99 per month or $99 per year, while the ad-free plans, which allow offline downloads, start at $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year.
