Netflix has made 6 TV shows and 4 movies available for non-subscribers to watch for free.
If you don't have a Netflix account and have been thinking about signing up for a while, today is your lucky day.
In a bid to entice more customers to sign up for the service, Netflix have introduced a 'Watch Free' hub where non-subscribers will be able to sample some of the streamer's biggest and most successful titles, including Stranger Things, When They See Us and Bird Box.
The free service (yes, completely free!) is only available to people browsing on the web, which means you can't access it on the Netflix app just yet.
All you have to do to unlock the free TV shows and movies is search 'Netflix Watch Free' on Google, or click right here at Netflix.com/watch-free. The service is available to viewers all over the world, and all the titles are the same globally.
