Hulu Free Trial: Stream for a month without paying a dime

Add as a preferred source on Google

With all of the streaming services that are available right now, it’s going to be tough to choose where you’ll spend on subscriptions, especially if you want to stick to a tight budget after spending on a streaming device like Roku deals. If you’re not yet on Hulu, we highly recommend giving it a try. If you don’t want to commit just yet, the good news is that you can first go with the Hulu free trial. We’ll tell you everything that you need to know about enjoying a Hulu free trial, if there are other ways to get a Hulu subscription for free, and tips on searching for Hulu deals. You won’t regret signing up for Hulu, but we’re here to make sure the experience starts on the right foot.

Is there a Hulu free trial?

Yes, there’s a Hulu free trial! Right now, you can get one month free on either the Hulu (ad-supported) plan or the no-ads plan. If you’re only planning on sticking around with Hulu for a month, you may as well sign up for the no-ads plan to save any interruptions. You’ll need to hand over your credit card details but you won’t be charged until the date that the one-month trial runs out. However, while there’s still no Disney Plus free trial, a Hulu with Live TV free trial is now available, if you prefer signing up for the subscription along with access to live TV content.

Can you get Hulu for free?

The Hulu free trial is the simplest way to get Hulu for free, but there are alternatives if you’re looking to have the service for longer than just a month. One solution is to have a Spotify Premium Student account which means you can also get Hulu (with ads) for free alongside it. You’ll need to be a student to be eligible but it’s a good way of saving big if you’re at school. Alternatively, if you’re a Sprint customer, select plans lets you enjoy the best Hulu original series for free.

Alternatively, you might consider some of the other services with offers, like the Showtime free trial, Amazon Prime Video free trial, the Sling TV free trial, or even the Netflix free trial. They’re certainly not the same as Hulu, but they offer plenty of content to hold you over until you can secure a subscription!

Are there any Hulu deals?

When signing up to Hulu, you have a few different options. If you’re fine with ads, you can stick with Hulu (ad-supported) for $10 per month or $100 for the year. If you hate being interrupted while watching the best movies on Hulu, go for the ad-free Hulu for $19 per month.

However, there’s a better Hulu plan for most people — the Disney Bundle. For $17 per month, you can sign up to Hulu, Disney Plus, and ESPN+ saving you 44% off the usual price of subscribing separately. You can’t pay annually on this one, but with this kind of savings, it’s a great value. If you’d prefer no ads, you can pay $27 per month for Hulu with no ads and the other two services. If you can afford the extra, go for the Disney Bundle plan. If you don’t want all three, there are duo bundle options with just Disney+ and Hulu starting at $11 per month with ads.

Scary Movie 6 returned after more than a decade, and the gamble paid off at the box office. The sixth installment debuted to $55 million domestically, the best opening weekend in the series' history, and went on to gross over $215 million worldwide as of late June.

Ahead of the movie's June 5 theatrical release, Wayans Bros. Entertainment launched a website called Subservient Ghostface, where you type a command and watch the masked killer carry it out on screen. It's a clever campaign that borrows directly from Burger King's famous Subservient Chicken stunt from 2004, swapping the chicken suit for the horror icon Ghostface from Scream.

Comcast’s breakup is the bluntest warning yet that the cable bundle is losing its grip
Peacock and Xfinity customers should see stability now as NBCUniversal's split rewires the logic behind future streaming perks.

Comcast's breakup sounds like an alarm bell for Peacock, Xfinity, and the monthly internet bill. At the service level, the answer is calmer. Current customers shouldn't expect subscriptions, billing, or broadband plans to change while the company works through the split.

NBC News reports that Comcast plans to spin NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate public company, moving Peacock, Universal, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, theme parks, and Sky away from the broadband and wireless business. The separation is expected to take about a year.
