With the return of Party Down, viewers have another good reason to head to Starz. The streaming service drops new episodes earlier than its linear cable network, and Starz offers an expanding slate of good TV that’s free of ads.
In particular, it boasts a pretty impressive catalog of original series like Outlander, P-Valley, Power and the historical drama The Serpent Queen. Starz has tons more shows spanning multiple genres, including a pirate saga and a sequel series for Evil Dead.
If you’ve run out of good stuff to watch on Netflix, Hulu or HBO Max, check out some of these entertaining titles on the Starz streaming app.
