Netflix is lifting the paywall on some of its most popular originals, Gadgets 360 reports. The promotion gives viewers around the globe free access to 10 different films and television shows, including Emmy-nominated drama Stranger Things, horror thriller Bird Box, and Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston comedy Murder Mystery.

In a statement provided to Gadgets 360, which was among the first to report the news, a Netflix spokesperson confirmed that the promotional deal is in effect for users around the world. “We’re looking at different marketing promotions to attract new members and give them a great Netflix experience,” said a company representative.

As part of the deal, viewers can access entire movies and the first episode of various TV shows without subscribing to Netflix. The full list of titles is as follows:

Stranger Things (Episode 1)
Murder Mystery (Full movie)
Elite (Episode 1)
The Boss Baby: Back in Business (Episode 1)
Bird Box (Full movie)
When They See Us (First Episode)
Love is Blind (First Episode)
The Two Popes (Full movie)
Our Planet (First Episode)
Grace and Frankie (First Episode)

To access the 10 free titles, simply head to netflix.com/watch-free. The promotion’s Frequently Asked Questions page reveals that “the selection may change from time to time,” so if there’s something specific you want to watch, be sure to stream it sooner rather than later.

That said, there is one small catch. While Netflix users can normally watch on a variety of different devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, PlayStation, smart TVs, and more, the promotion is only available to stream online via a computer or Android device. According to a Help page for the promo, iOS browsers are not supported, which means that you cannot watch the free titles on an Apple mobile device.

This is not the first time that Netflix has dabbled in free content. In February, Netflix opened up To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before to free streaming ahead of the release of the sequel, P.S. I Still Love You. Just a few months later, the streaming giant released a few of its documentaries and docuseries on YouTube, including Ava DuVernay’s 13th, Babies, and political doc Knock Down the House.
