You’ll want to grab this $1 Hulu Black Friday deal before it dries up

Black Friday brings us another deal on streaming services available thanks to a special promotion for Hulu. If you have been waiting for the right time to get a subscription stream original shows like Shogun, The Bear, or Only Murders in the Building, it’s a good time to take advantage of Hulu’s holiday deals to get the ad-based plan for $1 a month for 12 months. Currently, its regular price is $10 per month. Open to new customers and those who haven’t had a Hulu subscription in the last 30 days, the deal cuts the monthly price by 90%.

This discount runs from Wednesday 27 November to Monday 2 December at 11:59 PM PST and applies to the standalone Hulu ad-supported subscription only. The deal excludes current Hulu subscribers, those with the Max package and customers who have a Disney package — including the Disney Basic Duo plan with ads. The catch? You must be billed directly through Hulu and not a third party like Roku or Amazon.

Hulu has more than just entertaining originals and FX content. The US-based service streams live news, network TV shows and movies from major studios like Disney (watch Alien: Romulus right now), Searchlight Pictures, Fox and more. It’s the only place to watch the anime series Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War and you can primetime favorites such as Grey’s Anatomy, Abbott Elementary, High Potential and Family Guy on the platform. There’s plenty of holiday content streaming this season, but if you like streaming TV, this Black Friday deal might be a must-have.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals’ texts are free, easy, and save you money.

As an added bonus, you have the option to sign up for a Starz add-on for $1 per month for six months. It’s available to current or new Hulu subscribers who don’t have a Starz account. Home of Outlander, the Power universe, Sweetpea, and a ton of TV shows and movies, Starz typically costs $11 a month.

Why this deal matters

In case you missed it, Disney raised the prices of all its streaming services in October. Hulu with ads now costs $10 a month, while its ad-free plan went up to $19. If you don’t have Hulu at all as a standalone or part of a bundle, the Black Friday discount will save you $9 — an incredibly low price that’s hard to beat in the streaming world.
