Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars in HBO’s comedy series “Veep.”

HBO has jumped on the free streaming bandwagon by offering more than 500 hours of programming for free.

As of April 3, WarnerMedia announced the cable network had lifted restrictions on nine series, many movies and documentaries. The content is available through the HBO Go and HBO Now apps — even without logging in or creating an account. Once you access the app, look for the category: “Stream for Free: No Subscription Required.”

Series include classic shows like “The Sopranos,” “Veep,” “The Wire” and others. Movies on the list include “The LEGO Movie,” “The Bridges of Madison County,” “Empire of the Sun” and “Pokemon: Detective Pikachu.”

The content will be free until the end of April.
