A BritBox subscription is available for $6.99 per month or $69.99 annually after a 7-day free trial period. Britbox is compatible across various devices for download, including Apple TV, FireTV, and Roku streaming players, and Android and iOS mobile devices. The Britbox app is also supported by select Smart TVs such as LG and Samsung (2016+), or you can cast directly to your TV using your smartphone or tablet with Chromecast.
