For better or for worse, there are unexpected connections that we have that can last a lifetime. The final season of My Brilliant Friend caps off the lifelong friendship between Elena and Lila, as they now enter the last years of their connection.

Where to watch My Brilliant Friend Season 4

The fourth season of My Brilliant Friend airs on every Monday at 9 PM ET on HBO starting September 9, with each episode streaming the same day on Max.

There are two ways to watch My Brilliant Friend Season 4: live on HBO or the same day on Max.

My Brilliant Friend Season 4 on HBO

You can watch My Brilliant Friend Season 4 on HBO without cable on one of these cord-cutting services:

DirecTV Stream

DirecTV Stream is a streaming service that offers everything from live TV, local channels, on-demand films, sports packages, and even premium cable networks like HBO and Starz for an additional fee. Its plans, which start at $70/month, are on the pricier side of live TV, but that’s because it offers unlimited DVR and streams on top of at least 75 channels, depending on the plan you pick.

DirecTV Stream Ultimate

DirecTV Stream Ultimate is the second-biggest package offered by DirecTV Stream. With it, you get up to 160 channels (up 40 channels from the previous tier) across entertainment, sports, and news. That’s almost any channel you can think of—from TBS and USA; to ESPN and CBS Sports; to CNN and BBC News; and so much more. You get it all, plus tens of thousands of on-demand titles for the price of $109.99/month (saving you roughly $40/month from the package after it), so if the budget allows, it's worth trying the Ultimate plan yourself.

My Brilliant Friend Season 4 on Max

As a joint venture of HBO, it’s unsurprising that My Brilliant Friend streams on HBO’s respective streaming home Max. Here is a refresher and a link to subscribe:
