Even though Black Friday is over, most of the big TV show and movie streaming services are offering discounted subscriptions through the weekend into Cyber Monday. Paramount Plus, Hulu, Peacock, Disney Plus, and Max are significantly cheaper per month for both new and returning subscribers who are looking for things to watch over the chill holiday period. If you want a cable replacement, YouTube TV is cheaper for new users, as well.
These deals make it more affordable to try out all of them. But if youâre trying to pick between the options, Paramount Plus has the entirety of the Star Trek catalog, the latest season of Lower Decks, plus classic films like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It also features every Mission:Impossible movie. Max, on the other hand, is the current home of Cartoon Network and Adult Swim shows, as well as many Criterion Classic and A24 flicks. Itâs the only place to watch The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy.
Hulu may be the best pick if youâre interested in sci-fi, as it features Prey, The Creator, and Akira (a trio of personal favorites), plus the entire Alien franchise. Itâs not sci-fi, but the What We Do in the Shadows series is hilarious. If youâre inclined to get both Hulu and Disney Plus together, weâve got a deal for you below. Disney Plus has nearly the entire vault of Disney films and TV shows, plus anything Marvel, Star Wars-related, as well as The Simpsons, to name a few.
Finally, after youâve finished rewatching Parks & Recreation and The Office on Peacock, you might want to check out Twisters, or the first two seasons of Girls5Eva (the third season of this must-see comedy launched exclusively on Netflix).
If youâre ready to shake up your queue, weâve outlined the discounted plans currently being offered by each service, along with the necessary fine print below.
