How to watch Rap Sh!t online: steam the new Issa Rae comedy on HBO Max

What-what! The first two episodes of Rap Sh!t arrive on HBO Max Thursday, July 21, with the series available exclusively on the WarnerMedia streaming service. There are 8 episodes in total, with the remainder added once per week until September 1.

If you're not currently a HBO Max subscriber and are curious about the service, the first thing to know is there are two HBO Max price points - $9.99 a month with commercials, or the 4K HDR, commercial-free subscription at $14.99 that also brings 4K streams and Dolby Atmos sound. 

Alternatively, save 16% and sign up to its annual plan for a $99.99/$149.99 fee. That basically means you’ll get two months of free streaming for the year!

Canadian viewers can watch Issa Rae’s brand-new series Rap Sh!t through cable channel Crave, with the first two episodes airing on Thursday, July 21 from 10pm ET/PT and the remaining ones broadcast weekly thereafter.

Alternatively, you can stream Rap Sh!t through the company’s on-demand service, also Crave. An entry-level plan for the VOD platform costs CND$9.99 a month (plus tax) – or $CND19.99 if you want more streams and better video quality. But even better is that new subscribers get a 7-Day Free Trial before paying a thing.

Sadly there’s been no release date announced yet. Often those with Sky TV can enjoy the latest HBO and HBO Max shows on the Sky Atlantic channel in the UK.

Series like The Flight Attendant, Raised by Wolves and A Black Lady Sketch Show then added to Sky’s streaming service NOW. 

Keep tuned and we’ll update this space when we know more about Rap Sh!t’s UK release, or head straight to our best Sky TV deals and packages page for all the latest offers.

There are few options for watching Rap Sh!t Down Under: on Foxtel, Foxtel Now, or via VOD platform Binge.

The series will land on Binge first, concurrent with its US release, on Thursday, July 21 when viewers can catch the first two episodes. 

Starting from just AU$10 a month, Binge is very temptingly priced, and new customers are entitled to a generous 14-day FREE trial too – which means you can try before you buy. 

Meanwhile, those with a Foxtel cable plan can watch a back-to-back helping of Rap Sh!t from Friday, July 22 at 9:30pm AEST and every week thereafter at the same time.

Alternatively, Foxtel’s other streaming service Foxtel Now offers more of the full cable-like experience. Boasting 30+ channels and a 10-day free trial to new subscribers, you should only need the Essentials Pop and Lifestyle pack at AU$25 a month to watch Rap Sh!t.
