Hulu is a hugely popular streaming service that offers an extensive library of TV shows, movies, and original content. An excellent choice if you want to never run out of things to watch, we’ve picked out the best Hulu deals for new subscribers.

Today’s best Hulu deals

Hulu is a fairly inexpensive way to watch new shows and movies. There are several different plans available. If you’re solely focused on the cheapest method, you can stick with Hulu (with ads) but there’s also an ad-free plan too. Alternatively, you can add on the Disney Bundle and enjoy Disney+ or Disney+ and ESPN+ for a great discounted price. Finally, for cord-cutters, there’s always Hulu + Live TV with Disney+ and ESPN+ which offers access to over 95 channels, an unlimited DVR, and all the benefits of the three streaming services. Sign up for standard Hulu and you can enjoy a Hulu free trial with the first month for free.
