Several hit American TV shows are coming to Channel 4’s free streaming service, All 4, this month. Among the classic additions: The West Wing, The Big Bang Theory and Weeds.

They will be joining a long list of popular American shows, both new and old, already available to stream on All 4, such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Frasier, Smallville and ER – to name just a few.

And of course, it’s not just about American shows – Spring on All 4 is bringing with it the return of hit comedy Derry Girls, drama from Down Under with Married at First Sight Australia, gossip from the SW3 residents in Made in Chelsea and all the action from the tent in the Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer.

Although recently most of the headlines about Channel 4 were regarding the government’s plan to sell it to private hands, the channel itself is certainly moving forward with new content acquisitions.

All 4 is Channel 4’s streaming service/app, and is available free of charge – with adverts. Those who prefer to skip the adverts can subscribe to All4+, at £3.99/month, and watch everything without adverts.

The All 4 app is available on most of the streaming devices sold in the UK, including the Amazon Fire TV sticks, Roku, Smart TVs and Freeview Play boxes.

According to BARB data from 2022 (to date), All 4 has become the largest commercial broadcaster on-demand player for 16-34s by volume.

The opening episode of Derry Girls Series 3, which recently returned with new episodes, was the most-watched episode of any Broadcaster Video On Demand programme series in the week it launched.

But along with British programming, viewers are still fond of American classics (just think how much Netflix paid for Seinfeld and Friends, which are still popular in the UK).

Among the shows that have been added (some returning after a not being available for some time on All4), are:
