Partnering with Yahoo, premium cable network Showtime will stream select episodes of some of its series online, hoping to add new subscribers by exposing viewers to the series in a new medium.

Showtime will stream full-length episodes of Weeds, Sleeper Cell, Brotherhood and The L Word, as well as several new series, Oct. 6-13, AdWeek reports. Among the new series to be streamed is Dexter. Showtime will also offer a sneak peek at The Tudors, which won't be released until next year.

This isn't the first time Showtime has streamed content via the web: The season premiere of Weeds' 2nd season appeared on MSN, and the now defunct Kirstie Alley series Fat Actress was streamed on Yahoo last year.
