Where To Watch Greatness Code Online — Is It Streaming For Free?

Greatness Code is a multi-season sports docuseries and there is an easy way to stream the show for free. Sports documentaries may be one of the most popular genres of documentary. Thanks in part to ESPN's 30 for 30 series, sports documentaries have been an ever-present part of the cable landscape, and now they've moved onto streaming. HBO and Netflix have long been the sports doc champs with Drive to Survive, Hard Knocks, and Last Chance U, providing fascinating and sometimes moving insights into the worlds of professional and semi-professional sports.

Apple TV+ is a new streaming platform on the scene and though it's often behind its contemporaries when it comes to producing content, what it does end up producing has steadily been increasing in quality. They began dabbling in sports documentaries with Greatness Code, a short-form sports documentary series that premiered in 2020, with the second season coming in 2022. Each episode of the series investigates a different athlete and tries to uncover what it takes to be great. The 13 episodes of the series are all available in the same place, thankfully.

Greatness Code Is Available To Stream On Apple TV+

There Are A Few Ways To Get Apple TV+ For Free

As an Apple TV+ production, Greatness Code is available to stream on Apple TV+. The price for Apple TV+ is $9.99/month and there is only one tier. This plan gives users access to Apple TV+'s library and original productions. For those unwilling to pay the monthly price, there are a few options to watch Greatness Code for free. Users can do a seven-day free trial and cancel before they are charged the $9.99.

If a user buys an Apple device, Apple TV+ is included automatically for 3 months, and depending on any deals, the free period could even be 6- or 12-months free. Users can also subscribe to Apple One, which bundles up to five other Apple services into a single monthly subscription, one of which can be Apple TV+.

Greatness Code Season 3 Hasn't Been Announced (But That Doesn't Mean It's Definitely Canceled)

Director Gotham Chopra Is Working On Several Projects

Greatness Code season 3 has yet to be announced, but that's not entirely unprecedented considering there were two years between the first two seasons. Season 2 was announced only a month before the premiere, so it's possible Apple is just waiting until the season is ready to make a statement (via Apple). The series was directed by Gotham Chopra, a notable sports journalist and documentarian, and he's been involved in several sports documentaries since Greatness Code, including the 10-episode Man in the Arena: Tom Brady.

He is also producing, writing, and directing six projects which still do not have release dates. These projects include documentaries, movies, TV shows, and reality TV series. It may be that Chopra does not have enough bandwidth for Greatness Code season 3 at the moment. With the time it takes Apple TV+ to produce new seasons of their original series, it's still very possible that Greatness Code season 3 is coming.
