For 24 hours, all 10 episodes of Transparent, Amazon’s first Golden Globe-winning series, will be available online for free without a Prime membership.
The special event will run from 12:01 a.m. ET on Saturday to 11:59 p.m. ET. You won’t need an Amazon Prime membership to watch the show on that day only.
If you don’t have time to binge-watch the entire first season at once, Amazon is hoping to reel you in with a discount for Prime. Membership usually costs $99, but it will only cost $72 on Saturday, since the series was honored at the 72nd Annual Golden Globe awards.
Transparent was among the new TV shows honored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association earlier this month. Jeffrey Tambor, who plays a man transitioning to a woman in the series, won Best Actor - Musical/Comedy. The series won Best TV Series - Musical/Comedy as well.
“We’re incredibly proud of everyone involved in the making of Transparent—the team took a risk and it paid off,” Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon, said in a statement. “Big kudos and congrats to Jill, Jeffrey, and all the cast and crew.”
The series was created by Jill Soloway and also stars Judith Light, Gaby Hoffman, Amy Landecker and Jay Duplass. It has easily been the most successful Amazon Studios project since its launch.
