Mozart In The Jungle scored a pair of surprise Golden Globe wins Sunday, and Amazon wants to make sure you get a chance to see it. The company said today that both full seasons of the classical music-fueled series will be available to stream for free this weekend.

From 9 PM Friday to midnight Sunday, viewers can catch all 20 episodes of the series starring Globe winner Gael Garcia Bernal using the Amazon Video app or online. The show follows the behind-the-scenes drama at the New York Symphony, where artistic dedication and creativity collide with mind games, politicking and survival instincts. Along with Garcia Bernal’s acting trophy, it also scooped the Golden Globe for Best TV Series – Musical or Comedy, giving Amazon Studios back-to-back wins in both categories following last year’s double for Transparent and its star Jeffrey Tambor.

Normally available only to Amazon Prime subscribers, the series is executive produced by Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman, Paul Weitz and John Strauss and also stars Saffron Burrows, Hannah Dunne, Lola Kirke, Malcolm McDowell and Peter Vack.

“What an incredible honor to be recognized by the Hollywood Foreign Press two years in a row,” said Roy Price, VP of Amazon Studios. “We are incredibly proud of Gael, Jason, Roman, Paul and everyone involved in the making of Mozart in the Jungle – it’s gratifying and exciting to see the success of this series.”
