Apple TV+ is back with a highly-anticipated crime thriller adapted from James Keene and Hillel Levin's prison memoir, "In With the Devil." Are you wondering how to watch it online without spending any money? You've come to the right place - we've got everything you need to know, so keep reading to find out when and how to watch Black Bird for free on Apple TV+.

Based on true events, Black Bird is about a policeman's son and former high school football star Jimmy Keene, who is sentenced to 10 years in prison in a minimum-security facility. Inside, he is given the offer of a lifetime: he can either enter a maximum-security prison and befriend a suspected serial killer named Larry Hall to elicit a confession, or he can remain in his current facility to complete his sentence without the possibility of parole. When he chooses the former, Keene has to persuade his new friend to reveal the location where several young girls' bodies may have been buried. Time is running out, and he needs Hall to come clean before his appeal is issued.

The cast is led by Taron Egerton as Keene, and he is joined by Paul Walter Hauser as Larry Hall, Greg Kinnear as Brian Miller, Sepideh Moafi as Lauren McCauley, and the late Ray Liotta as Big Jim Keene. Black Bird is written and executive produced by Dennis Lehane, author of Shutter Island, Mystic River, and Gone, Baby, Gone.
