YouTube is giving James Bond fans a license to stream: The franchise’s first 20 films are now available to watch for free (with ads) on the video-sharing platform.
Whether you’re feeling nostalgic after the recent passing of Sir Sean Connery, or just want to fill the gap left by twice-delayed No Time to Die (now scheduled for April 2021), YouTube’s got you covered.
As spotted by SlashFilm, the official MGM channel is showing Dr. No, The World is Not Enough, and every spy thriller in between. (Plus a No Time to Die trailer.) YouTube Movies is also streaming the live 1954 TV adaptation of Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale, as well as Everything or Nothing, a 2012 documentary commemorating 50 years of James Bond films.
There’s no word on how long the flicks will be available—whether this is just a festive offering or a permanent chance for folks to catch up on the nearly six-decade-old collection. (Those with a free NBCUniversal Peacock account or access to PlutoTV can also get in on the action.)
