With National Streaming Day taking place tomorrow, May 20, one of the most popular streaming services is celebrating with a steep discount. Hulu is offering three months of streaming access for just $2 per month, a saving of 74% versus he usual monthly price. The discount applies to its ad-supported tier and is available to new and eligible returning subscribers.
Hulu with ads normally costs $8 per month, so getting three months for less than the regular cost of one is a killer deal. If you’re not new to Hulu, you can still get in on this deal if your subscription lapsed over a month ago. You can also choose to add on Disney Plus with ads for $2 extra per month.
We’re big fans of Hulu’s variety. The service offers a huge library of familiar shows from networks like ABC, NBC and FX as well as a growing roster of original content like The Handmaid’s Tale, Only Murders in the Building and How I Met Your Father. The ad-supported plans will have commercials within the content you’re watching, but at just $2 per month it’s hard to be too bothered by that and it gives you the chance to sample Hulu’s extensive catalog without breaking the bank. And you could always move to the ad-free plan after the promotional period ends if you find that you want to stick with the service.
The $2 per month deal expires May 27, so you don’t have long to get in on it. Note that this subscription will auto-renew at $8 per month if you don’t cancel before your three months are up.
