‘Tis the season for streaming. Black Friday is one of the best (if not the i the best time) to subscribe to streaming services, as you can get huge savings on monthly membership fees. In past years, we’ve seen Hulu offer 99 cent subscriptions and Max offer six months of streaming for $2.99 a month. And we are happy to report that those agreements have been revived in 2024.
With streaming prices skyrocketing over the past year, we’re surprised at how impressive some of these Black Friday deals are. If you’re looking for a way to cut down on streaming costs, now is a great time to take advantage of a deeply discounted subscription. Just note that these deals are limited to new and returning subscribers (as in, you’ve previously subscribed to Max, but canceled your subscription months back) only.
No need to wait for the proper Black Friday. Grab this subscription before the deals disappear. If other streaming deals come up, we’ll be sure to update this as well as later. In the meantime, here are all the best streaming deals for Black Friday live.
Best streaming deal for Black Friday
Why we love you
Hulu is always the top dog when it comes to Black Friday deals. For the second year in a row, the broadcaster is offering an entire year of Hulu with ads for just $0.99 a month. That’s less than $12 total for an entire year of streaming. It’s surprising, honestly, since Hulu raised the cost of its basic plan last month from $7.99 per month to $9.99 per month. In other words, the savings this year are even more impressive – 90% or $108 in total over 12 months. That’s just…crazy.
Hulu is the streaming home of three of our favorite shows of 2023, Bova, Abbott Elementaryagain Booking Dogsand our favorite top game of 2024, Shogun. It’s also where you’ll find episodes of ABC shows airing the next day, such as Dancing with the starsand Neon movies that just came out of theaters, like Cucumber (coming December 17).
