Generation Kill is included with three different subscriptions — HBO (Via Hulu), HBO Max and MAX (Via Amazon Prime) — so if you already pay for any of them there is nothing extra to buy.
To own it instead, you can rent an episode from $1.99 on Google Play and buy an episode from $1.99 on Google Play, Amazon and Fandango at Home.
Generation Kill ended in 2008 after one season and 7 episodes, so what is listed above is the complete run — nothing new is coming.
Created by David Simon and starring Alexander Skarsgård, James Ransone, Lee Tergesen and Jon Huertas; it originally aired on HBO.
