If you’re a fan of PBS’ shows, like Poldark, Downton Abbey, Mr. Selfridge, Wolf Hall, Mercy Street, Nature, NOVA, and more, we have a great news for you. You’re now able to watch your favorite shows on your Windows 10 device, with the new PBS Video app that just arrived in the Windows Store.

Unfortunately, the new PBS Video app is not available for Windows 10 Mobile, yet, as you can only download it on Windows 10 PCs and tablets, but the mobile version should arrive sometime in the future, as well.

PBS Video features all “Masterpiece shows,” like Poldark, Downtown Abbey, Mr. Selfridge, and Wolf Hall, but it also features other “PBS primetime shows,” like Mercy Street, Antiques Roadshow, Frontline, Independent Lens, POV, History Detectives, Nature, Need to Know, Nova, Secrets of the Dead, and more. The app is not Universal, as you can’t use it on your Windows 10 Mobile device, but it comes with a great Cortana and Live Tile support, so you can have an easier access to your favorite PBS series.
