Editor’s Note: Disney suspended the Disney+ free trial in the US in June 2020. It hasn’t said whether it’ll resume it again in the future, but you can take it for a spin for a month for only $7 or upgrade to the Disney Bundle with ESPN+ and Hulu thrown in for $14 per month — cancel anytime, no strings attached. 

Searching for a Disney+ free trial? How does a week’s access to the streaming service for the low, low price of absolutely nothing sound? Sold? Follow this short guide and you’ll be streaming the latest season of The Simpsons in no more than a couple of minutes without handing over a dime.

Signing up for the Disney+ free trial couldn’t be easier. It’s as simple as heading over to the website — or clicking the button below — and following the on-screen instructions to create an account. You will be asked to enter some credit card information to continue the subscription once the taster is over.

Remember: The free trial lasts for one week. You’ll need to cancel before the renewal date if you don’t want Mickey (Mouse) to take $7 to keep the lights on. Chances are, though, you’ll fall in love with the service’s unrivaled catalog and will be budgeting for an annual membership by the end of the week.

It’s not just the kids who will love Disney+. The streaming service is home to every episode of The Simpsons aired to date, listed alongside almost all of the movies in Walt’s collection, including Avatar, Big Hero 6, Frozen and Frozen 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man, The Lion King, and Toy Story.

Chances are you’ve heard about Disney+ for a totally different reason. You know what we’re talking about: The Mandalorian, the hit Star Wars-themed show starring Baby Yoda. Well, fantastic news: A second season is in the works as well as at least two more exclusive live-action Star Wars shows.

Hulu Free Trial: Stream for a month without paying a dime
Hulu app icon on Roku.

It's really hard to choose just one or two streaming services, especially with everything that's available now. It seems like so many platforms are offering exclusive content on top of other shows and movies that are worth watching -- maybe even binging. That's certainly the case with Hulu. But if you're not already an active subscriber, you might be looking to give it a try before spending any money. If that describes you, and you've been searching for a Hulu free trial, we're here to help. We've got everything you need to know about getting a Hulu free trial, plus we look at if there are other ways to get the streaming service for free and what Hulu deals are worth checking out. Just remember, if you want to use any streaming service, Hulu included, you'll need a streaming device, so it might be worth checking out the best Roku deals too. Nevertheless, keep on reading while we guide you through everything you need to know about getting Hulu for less.
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, much like how there's no Disney Plus free trial, there's no Hulu with Live TV free trial.
