BritBox is a streaming service that was originally developed by the BBC and ITV to bring you the very best from British broadcasters.
A BritBox subscription costs just $8.99 in the US per month or $89.99 annually. In Canada, it's $10.99 a month/ $109.99 annually (GST not included) and $9.99 a month/ $99.99 in Australia (GST included). For that price, you gain access to a wide range of classic and modern shows from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5.
The BritBox library includes BritBox originals such as Magpie Murders and Why Didn't They Ask Evans?, dramas like Irvine Welsh's Crime and The Bay, period dramas like Sanditon and Downton Abbey, and comedies like Gavin & Stacey, Spitting Image and Only Fools and Horses. There are also recent BBC hits like The Responder and Shetland.

Originally a standalone service in all regions, BritBox is now also found as part of the ad-free ITVX Premium tier in the UK (BritBox remains a standalone streaming service elsewhere). ITVX costs £5.99 per year or £59.99 annually.
If you've not tried BritBox out before but want to check it out, you'll be delighted to know that there is a BritBox free trial available for new customers to help you decide whether the service is right for you.
How long is the BritBox free trial?
The BritBox free trial is available to new customers and lasts for seven days, meaning you've got a full week to see whether the service is right for you. If you decide it's not, you can cancel before the seven days are up and you won't be charged anything (more on that later).
Do be aware that the free trial is measured in days, not hours, so the first day you sign up for your BritBox free trial is counted as the first full day of the trial period.
If you're in the UK and haven't already tried BritBox, you'll now need to sign up for ITVX Premium to try everything on the service. However, you can still try the service free for seven days so you can try everything on BritBox and more for a limited time.
Is there an ITVX free trial?
UK customers can no longer sign up for BritBox. Many would-be subscribers want to know whether there's an ITVX free trial.
Luckily, this service also offers a seven-day free trial, so if you didn't get around to trying BritBox for free, you can sample all that BritBox has to offer plus a whole lot more with an ITVX Premium free trial.
Is BritBox free with Amazon Prime?
Sadly no, but the connection between BritBox and Amazon Prime is that you can add BritBox as an Amazon Prime Video Channel to a Prime Video subscription.
You can also still access the BritBox seven-day free trial if you sign up via Prime Video.
How to cancel a BritBox free trial
If you want to cancel the BritBox free trial before being charged for a subscription, make sure to do so at least 24 hours before your upcoming payment date.
If you signed up with a debit or credit card, follow the following steps to cancel your BritBox subscription:
- Sign into your account at BritBox.com and open your account (click on your account name in the top right of the screen)
- Click through to 'Account Details'
- Then click the 'Subscription Option'.
- In the 'Your Plan' section you should see your next renewal date.
- There, you can select 'Cancel subscription', where you'll just need to follow the prompts to cancel your package.
If you subscribed to BritBox via a partner like Roku, iTunes, Prime Video, Apple TV Channels, or the Google Play store, you'll instead need to cancel your subscription through those services.
Likewise, if you signed up to ITVX Premium to watch BritBox content in the UK, you'll need to cancel your subscription there, rather than via BritBox.
