Foxtel Now has long established itself as one of the key players in the streaming game in Australia. That’s partly due to the platform’s affordable channel packs and partly due to the service’s growing on-demand library. Besides tuning in to see your favourite shows live, you can now catch up with episodes — or entire seasons — via the Foxtel Now library.
