Showtime will give viewers early online access to the series and season premieres of Billions and Shameless from Jan. 1, Variety reports:
The premium cabler will make both episodes available to non-Showtime subscribers on a range of platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Hulu, Roku, PlayStation Vue, iTunes and its own Sho.com website, as well as cable VOD and the Showtime Anytime authenticated streaming service.
The 10-episode first season of Billions formally premieres Jan. 17, while Shameless Season 6 bows Jan. 10.
It’s hoped the online sampling will help boost the exposure, and in turn ratings and renewal chances, of both shows.
