Hulu is normally fairly generous to potential customers, offering a 30-day free trial that lets you check out the service before opening your wallet. The company is more generous than usual for Black Friday, however, as right now you can sign up for Hulu (ad-supported) for just $1/month. The deal is active until December 2.
Hulu (ad-supported) typically costs $10/month, making this a pretty solid price cut. Better yet, the new payment will remain in effect for 12 months, giving you a year’s worth of Hulu for just $12 (was $120). So if you need an affordable way to entertain guests during an upcoming holiday party or just want to stay busy during these long winter nights, this is an enticing offer.
The are a few limitations to the promotion, as only new or former members are eligible. Membership will also automatically continue once the promotional period ends, so be sure to cancel your plan if you don’t want to pay $10/month.
Here’s a look at everything you’ll get with a Hulu (ad-supported) plan.
- Streaming library with Hulu Originals, TV shows, and movies
- New episodes the day after they air (where applicable)
- Support for TVs, laptops, phones, and tablets
- Create up to six user profiles
- Watch on two screens simultaneously
Popular shows available on Hulu include Shogun, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Bear, Fargo, and Castle Rock.
Note that this offer is not for Hulu + Live TV, meaning you’re limited to the on-demand Hulu library. Still, there’s a wealth of content in the catalog, and it’s hard to beat at just $12 for a full year’s membership. For additional viewing, you’ll find the Starz add-on discounted to just $1/month for six months.
This isn’t the only streaming service getting a nice price cut for Black Friday, as Max, Peacock, and Paramount+ are all running similar promotions. The savings end in the next few days, so if you’re interested in joining a new service this holiday season, check them out while you can.
