There’s good news and bad news, reader. Bad news is that winter is officially upon us, and motivation to leave the house is about to dip to an all-time low. The good news is that as part of the final deals of Cyber Weekend, nearly all our favorite streamers are on super sale. You can hunker down and pretend to be a cinephile or enjoy your prestige television for cheap these next few months. Max, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount—most of the big-name services are offering limited-time deals that go up to 90 percent off. If you’ve been meaning to sign up for a new streaming platform, or cancel and resubscribe on a different email, now is the time.
The best deals we’re seeing are on the monthly plans, starting at less than a dollar a month for Hulu. The offers are applicable to all new customers, but in some cases returning customers are also eligible. Just be sure to check the fine print.
The major caveat? These discounts won’t stand forever, obviously. When you renew, you’ll pay full price. But big savings are big savings, even if it’s a gimmick to get you signed up again. Since we’re all using most of these services anyway, it’s pretty low stakes. Take the free money wherever you can:
The deal: $0.99/month (regular price: $9.99/month)
The fine print: It’s the most basic service but also the most affordable: Hulu’s Cyber Monday sale offers the entire platform (with ads) for just under a buck a month for your first year. It’s valid for new customers and returning subscribers, as long as you haven’t canceled in the past month. Not bad for a streamer that’s brought us a rich catalog of shows, including The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, and Abbott Elementary.
Shop Hulu Cyber Monday deal
The deal: $2.99/month (regular price: $10.99/month)
The fine print: If you have kids (or just love the animated classics), you can tack on a Disney+ membership to your Hulu account for a total savings of 72 percent. Similar to the basic deal, this version comes with ads and has the same caveat for returning subscribers.
Shop Hulu and Disney+ Cyber Monday deal
The deal: $2.99/month (regular price: $10.99/month)
The fine print: The artist formerly known as HBO is home to both award-winning appointment television, an incredible assortment of movies, and even the Turner Classic Movie archive. With all that, we’d call this the most worthwhile deal of the day, even if it does include ads. The discount is valid stateside and lasts only for six months before you have to renew. Both new and returning subscribers are eligible.
Shop Max Cyber Monday deal
The deal: $2.99/month (regular price: $12.99/month)
The fine print: Both new and former subscribers are eligible to sign up for this bundle, which includes over 40,000 TV episodes and movies, including Showtime originals. You’ll get an ad-free viewing experience and the ability to download whatever you want to watch on the go. The catch? This offer is eligible only for your first two months.
There’s also a basic version of this offer for just Paramount+, but given that it’s the same price, we think this bundle is more worthwhile.
Shop Paramount+ with Showtime Cyber Monday deal
The deal: $1.99/month (regular price: $7.99/month)
The fine print: Once the forgotten middle child of the streaming world, NBC’s Peacock is a real force with original shows like Poker Face rounding out a robust catalog of classics—The Office, 30 Rock, and SNL—and a decent live-sports product. All this makes the current 75 percent discount worth it. Pay just under $2 a month for your first six months and stream on up to three devices at once. Plus, if you already have a Peacock account, you can get in on the deal by signing in to your profile and adding the offer to your account.
Shop Peacock Cyber Monday deal
The deal: $16.99/month (regular price: $25.97/month)
The fine print: Hold on. All these streaming-service offers makes you think, are streaming services just reverse-engineering cable? Yes! But this is where TV lives now. If you want to save on the big bundle, go all out with this three-in-one offer. It comes with ads, but you get full access to each streamer’s full library—plus, if you buy via the Max website, you can stream Max on two devices at once. So much better than cable…
