This Hulu deal slashes your subscription to $1 a month

Hulu is offering another introductory rate for the first three months of your subscription, bringing the cost down to just $1 per month during this period. That's an excellent discount, saving you $17.97 all in - a fair shake less than the normal $6.99p/m price. 

Tying in with 'National Streaming Day' (no, we didn't realise that was a thing either), the week-long promotion runs until May 27. However, it's only available for new and eligible returning subscribers, so don't get your hopes up if you already have an active Hulu membership. For context, 'eligible returning subscribers' means anyone who cancelled one or more months ago.

OK, so this isn't for the ad-free version of the service and isn't as good value for money as the triple Disney Plus sign-up bundle with Hulu, Disney, and ESPN Plus (currently $19.99 per month) . But $3 for three months is pretty ridiculous as it is, especially if you were curious about the service.

Hulu | $1 per month for three months
This offer gets you the ad-supported version of the service for 14% of the original cost. That's pretty absurd, all things considered. Just remember, the offer ends this coming Friday May 27 at 23.59pm PT.

If you're looking for max value over the lowest price poissible, we'd point you in the direction of this Disney Plus bundle. You're getting ad-free Hulu here, as well as the full Disney Plus and ESPN Plus service for just $19.99 per month.

What's on Hulu?

Of course, Hulu deals are no good if there's nothing to watch. Thankfully, the service is offering some excellent shows right now; from Harlots to Difficult People, Shrill to Pam & Tommy. If this doesn't quite tip you over the edge into trying Hulu, fair enough - in that case, we'd recommend checking out the Hulu free trial and seeing how you get on. Again, you have until Friday May 27 to take advantage of this offer if you change your mind. If you do, here are the best shows on Hulu to enjoy with your cut-price subscription.

  • Normal People
