Hulu Extends Discounted Streaming Bundle as Subscriber Numbers Dip
A compelling offer on the Hulu with Live TV bundle – originally set to expire in October – has been extended to November 18, providing potential subscribers a limited window to access a significant discount amid a challenging period for Disney’s streaming services.
Recent months have been turbulent for Disney, with the fallout from the Jimmy Kimmel controversy and a recent price increase contributing to subscriber losses on both Hulu and Disney+. This extended promotion, offering the Hulu with Live TV bundle for $64.99 for the first three months (a reduction from the new price of $89.99), appears to be a strategic move to bolster subscriber numbers. The deal is available to both new and returning customers, making it an attractive option for those considering a streaming upgrade.
What’s Included in the Hulu with Live TV Bundle?
The bundle provides access to a comprehensive over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform, boasting 95 channels including major networks like ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. Beyond traditional television, the package includes channels such as FX, Paramount Network, Discovery, and The CW, alongside dedicated sports networks like FS1, FS2, MLB Network, and NFL Network, all accessible while on the go. Sports enthusiasts will also benefit from access to ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited via the ESPN app.
However, the value extends beyond live television. Subscribers gain full, ad-supported access to both Hulu and Disney+, two of the leading streaming services. Hulu’s catalog features critically acclaimed and popular shows, including new seasons of Only Murders in the Building, The Bear, and Alien: Earth, as well as animated favorites like Futurama and Bob’s Burgers. Upcoming content includes a Buffy reboot and new seasons of Paradise, Shōgun, and A Thousand Blows.
Disney+, meanwhile, serves as the exclusive streaming home for Marvel and Star Wars content, offering a vast library of original shows and access to most Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films shortly after their theatrical release. Hit adaptations like Goosebumps and Percy Jackson are also available, alongside Disney’s extensive collection of animated classics.
The Hulu with Live TV bundle caters to a wide range of interests, from live sports and dramatic series to family-friendly entertainment. With full live TV access, viewers can ensure they don’t miss important events. As one analyst noted, “This package offers a compelling combination of live and on-demand content, making it a strong contender in the crowded streaming market.”
If you’ve been considering this package, time is of the essence – the current savings represent one of the best deals of the year and will expire on November 18.
