At a Glance: How to Watch The Shards Season One
The Shards kicks off with a two-episode premiere on Wednesday, Aug. 5 at 9 p.m. PT/ET on FX. New episodes will air weekly during the same time slot. There are nine episodes total in season one.
Alternatively, episodes of the FX series drop simultaneously on Hulu/Disney+ , and while the streamer doesn't offer a free trial directly, fans can get free access through any of DirecTV's Signature packages , which include the Hulu and Disney+ bundle and offer a five-day free trial . Following the trial, the bundle will remain included in the selected live TV streaming package at no extra charge.
Finally, while Hulu on its own starts at $11.99 per month, it's a no-brainer to opt instead for the Disney+, Hulu bundle for the same $11.99 per month for the first six months (then just $12.99 monthly thereafter). Other cost-cutting bundles include the Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max trio starting at $19.99 per month (a savings of 42 percent), and the Disney+, Hulu, ESPN trio starting at $35.99 per month (a savings of 33 percent).
