Let’s check out the Black Friday specials below:
$1.99 per month for 12 Months
Hulu is quietly one of the best services in the world of streaming. While it doesn’t get the publicity as its sister service Disney+, or its chief rival service Netflix, Hulu quietly has put together the best portfolio of TV series and movies in all of streaming. The reason for this is because all of the major television networks contribute content to Hulu in addition to Hulu making its own originals. Combine that with many cable shows from many of the top networks and a diverse portfolio of movies from most all of the major film studios, and Hulu has a recipe for success. So if you want binge on all six seasons of Schitt’s Creek (Hulu), catch the final seasons of the critically acclaimed Atlanta (Hulu) and The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu), or watch hit movies like Death on the Nile (Hulu), recent releases like Prey (Hulu) or even adored classics like Can’t Hardly Wait, Cast Away, Parasite, Fight Club, The Blair Witch Project, The Social Network, Die Hard, Alien, The Sixth Sense, I Tonya, and more, the place to go to is Hulu .
Netflix
No Black Friday Deals
Netflix feels that there is no reason to discount any of its services. Even in the face of rising inflation and decreased consumer spending, Netflix continues to hold strong to this. If you are looking for Netflix originals like Squid Game, Bridgerton, Stranger Things, Narcos, and more, Netflix is the only game in town for you. If you are open to what you’d like to watch, then you might be tempted to go to other services. As streaming starts to become more polarized, with many studios starting to limit content only to is owned streaming services (e.g. Disney-Disney+, Universal-Peacock, Paramount, Paramount+, Warner Bros.-HBOMax), Netflix may be home to very little else besides its originals (which are growing in number). Netflix has taken billions in losses each year to create its own portfolio of shows that will keep audiences coming back. After all, they aren’t the biggest streaming for nothing.
$2.99 per month - With Hulu Subscription
When Disney got rid of its free trial, it did scare away some consumers who were afraid to try out the service at its price point. But with the streaming wars getting even more competitive, Disney had to get in the game. For all new or returning Hulu subscribers, you can add Disney+ to your subscription for only $2.99 per month. That means for under $5 per month you can get both Disney+ and Hulu. That’s not a bargain; it’s an outright steal!! Disney+ has almost the entire Disney library ranging from the classics like Cinderella, Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs, Mary Poppins, to the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Star Wars saga. However in order to get this deal you have to sign up for Hulu first. So what are you waiting for, sign up for Hulu today and get this amazing deal.

Peacock satisfies all of the cord cutters out there who reminisce about how good cable was back in the day. But wait, isn’t Peacock a streaming service?
