Hulu Black Friday Deals: Stream HBO Max & STARZ for Just $2.99 a Month
Table of Contents
Black Friday savings have expanded beyond traditional retail, with streaming services now offering significant discounts. Hulu today announced two compelling deals, allowing both new and existing subscribers to add HBO Max or STARZ to their accounts for a dramatically reduced price of $2.99 per month for a full 12 months.
These limited-time offers represent substantial savings for streaming enthusiasts. According to a company release, the typical cost of the HBO Max add-on is $9.99 monthly, while STARZ usually runs $10.99 per month. This translates to savings of 70% on HBO Max and 73% on STARZ, making it an opportune moment to expand your entertainment options.
Time is of the Essence: Deals End December 1st
The promotions are live now but will expire on December 1st, urging potential subscribers to act quickly to take advantage of the reduced rates. Below, we detail the specifics of each Black Friday offer.
The current HBO Max deal slashes the monthly add-on price from $9.99 to just $2.99 for one year. After the initial 12-month period, the add-on will revert to its standard monthly rate.
However, access to this discounted rate is contingent on your existing Hulu subscription tier. One analyst noted that the HBO Max deal is exclusively available to subscribers with the Hulu Trio package – a bundle that includes Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN. Those currently on standalone Hulu plans or the Hulu Duo (Hulu and Disney+) will need to upgrade to the Trio package to unlock the savings.
STARZ on Hulu: Significant Savings for All Subscribers
The STARZ Black Friday deal mirrors the HBO Max offer, providing access to the premium add-on for only $2.99 a month for 12 months. Normally priced at $10.99, this represents a 73% reduction in cost. Following the promotional period, the add-on will return to its original price or the then-current rate.
Unlike the HBO Max offer, the STARZ discount is accessible to a wider range of Hulu subscribers. The deal is available to those with either the Hulu Duo or Trio plans, offering greater flexibility for potential subscribers.
Understanding Hulu Subscription Costs
For those not currently subscribed to Hulu, now may be an ideal time to join, especially with these add-on discounts available.
The STARZ discount can be utilized with either the Hulu Duo or Trio plans, which start at $12.99 and $19.99 per month, respectively. The HBO Max deal, as previously mentioned, requires the Trio plan, starting at $19.99 monthly.
Even without these Black Friday promotions, Hulu remains a compelling value proposition. The service boasts a robust library of original series, including hits like Only Murders in the Building, The Bear, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Shōgun, alongside a vast selection of movies.
