What you’ll watch during the trial
What Sundance Now is
Sundance Now is AMC Networks’ streaming platform focused on prestige dramas and documentaries. The Sundance Now free trial lets you explore carefully curated storytelling from around the world, with a lean toward sophisticated thrillers, character-led dramas, and acclaimed docuseries.
Sample titles you may find
- A Discovery of Witches
- Riviera
- McMafia
- True crime docs like Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle
Note: The library rotates. Titles can shift as licenses change, so what you see during your Sundance Now free trial may evolve over time.
Who it’s best for
Viewers who gravitate to prestige international dramas, thrillers, and true crime series will get the most from a Sundance Now free trial. If you prefer glossy blockbusters or live sports, this catalog may feel niche; if you want moody mysteries and festival-caliber docs, it’s a strong fit.
After the trial, the plan is $6.99/mo. Keep that in mind as you decide where and when to start your Sundance Now free trial.
Where to start your trial (and why it matters)
You can begin a Sundance Now free trial inside Prime Video Channels, Apple TV Channels, or Roku Premium Subscriptions—or go direct. Channel subscriptions do not create a separate app login; playback and billing stay inside the platform app. If you later move to a direct subscription, your watchlist and progress usually won’t carry over because they’re tied to the platform account. Choose the channel you plan to keep to avoid rebuilding lists after your Sundance Now free trial ends.
Cancel or manage your plan
Manage the Sundance Now free trial where you started it. A credit card is required, and after the trial it’s $6.99/mo unless you cancel. Use the links below for quick access.
