Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max are all over 60 percent off for Black Friday
As the holiday season approaches, streaming services are rolling out enticing subscription deals, making it the perfect time to catch up on must-see shows and movies. Among the highlights is Hulu’s exclusive series, **Alien: Earth**, which has garnered significant buzz. This sci-fi series, along with other noteworthy titles, is now accessible for binge-watching, just in time for family gatherings and cozy nights in. In addition to Hulu, services like Apple TV and HBO Max are offering substantial discounts, helping viewers navigate the recent price hikes across the streaming industry.
Currently, Hulu is promoting a bundled subscription with Disney Plus for just $4.99 a month, a deal that saves subscribers nearly $100 over a year. This package not only includes access to beloved franchises from Disney and Pixar but also features Hulu originals like **The Bear** and the latest season of **King of the Hill**. For those who prefer an ad-free experience, the ad-free version is available for $14.99 a month, providing the added benefit of downloading content for offline viewing. Meanwhile, HBO Max is offering a compelling deal at $2.99 a month for an annual subscription with ads, allowing fans to enjoy acclaimed shows like **House of the Dragon** and **The Last of Us** without breaking the bank.
Apple TV is also joining the discount frenzy, offering six months of service for $5.99 a month, a significant drop from its usual pricing. This deal enables subscribers to enjoy popular series such as **Ted Lasso** and **Severance**, as well as exclusive upcoming content like the Formula 1 series set to debut in December. Other streaming platforms, including Paramount Plus and Fubo TV, are also providing attractive offers, ensuring that viewers have plenty of options to explore as they settle in for the holidays. With these discounts, it’s a great time to dive into new series or revisit classic favorites, making family movie nights even more enjoyable.

The holidays are a great time to see family, exchange gifts, and enjoy a good meal. It’s also the perfect time to gather around a TV and catch up on must-see shows and movies. Vince Gilligan’s
Pluribus
is a fantastic new sci-fi series on Apple TV, while Hulu is the only place you can catch the buzzy
Alien: Earth
. Thankfully, multiple streaming services are offering big discounts on subscriptions through Cyber Monday (and beyond), helping to mitigate the many price hikes that have swept the industry in 2025.
Right now, for instance, you can sign up for
six months of Apple TV
for just $5.99 a month, which is over 50 percent off the usual price. You can also snag a year of
HBO Max with ads
for $2.99 a month, saving you nearly $100 over the course of 12 months. These aren’t the only deals, either. We’ve rounded up a selection of other streaming discounts below. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear Netflix — which is the only place you can catch the
latest season of
Stranger Things
— is feeling festive right now with any discounts. Maybe next time.
