The offer goes live at midnight PST on Thursday, November 26, and will end at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, November 30.

This offer is not eligible in combination with the Black Friday deal, unfortunately, but it will save you 25% over the regular cost for the three services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hulu

How Much Does Hulu Cost?

Hulu offers two tiers for its standard service. The basic tier, which includes ads, starts at $5.99 a month. You can get the ad-free tier for $11.99 a month. Hulu does not offer a discounted annual subscription plan, unlike many other streaming services, so you’ll either be paying about $72 a year for the basic tier or $144 for ad-free streaming.

What is Hulu + Live TV?

While the basic tiers of Hulu are strictly limited to on-demand streaming, you can subscribe to Hulu + Live TV to get access to live streams of dozens of cable channels. You can watch live sports, news and all sorts of other programs with this add-on.
Hulu + Live TV is significantly more expensive than a standard Hulu subscription, starting at $54.99 a month. You can pay $60.99 a month to get Hulu with no ads, but that only applies to on-demand streaming and not live TV.

Hulu’s real bread and butter is its library of hit shows, including quality originals. It’s a great place for comedy, with popular sitcoms like Brooklyn 99, The Good Place and more.
You can find movies on Hulu as well, but the selection is a bit smaller compared to streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max. That doesn’t mean there aren’t good films on Hulu, however.
