Some people watch one episode a week. The rest of us wait. Countdown2Binge is the TV tracker for people who'd rather binge a whole season than wait week to week. Follow a show once, and it tracks every season for you, year after year, so you know the moment it's ready to binge. NEVER CHECK AGAIN No more searching to see if your show got renewed, when it premieres, or when the finale airs. Every show you follow moves through four stages on its own: • Anticipated: renewed, but no date yet • Premiering Soon: a premiere date is set • Airing: the season is out now • Binge Ready: the finale has aired and the whole season is waiting for you SAFE TO START Thinking about a show that's already ended? Countdown2Binge tells you whether it actually got a real ending or was cancelled mid-story, before you invest the time. WATCH IN THE RIGHT ORDER Big franchises with spinoffs and prequels are grouped together, with release order and recommended order side by side. SEE WHAT'S COMING A visual timeline shows what's premiering, what's airing, and what's ready to binge at a glance. SYNCS EVERYWHERE Your shows sync across your devices with iCloud. COUNTDOWN2BINGE PREMIUM Upgrade to get notified when a season premieres, when the finale is coming up, and when a season is ready to binge. Premium is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
