We're in the final strait before Black Friday 2024, and one of the biggest early Black Friday deals we've seen reduced the price of Hulu with Live TV, which is a live TV streaming service. It's no longer live, but we hope it's just the first of many deals.
Hulu is one of the several streaming services owned by Disney, and it's generally aimed at an older audience: forget Marvel and Star Wars, with Hulu you'll get the likes of FX shows, true crime and Searchlight movies. It's chock-full of binge-worthy series as well as some fantastic movies too.
While Black Friday is technically on Friday, November 29, we're expecting to see deals begin up to a week ahead of time, which means they could start soon.
We'll update this page with new deals as and when they go live, but ahead of then, we've shared everything you need to know about the deals. This includes predictions, what we've seen before and what else is happening over Black Friday relating to streaming deals.

Hulu Black Friday deals: predictions and FAQs
Will there be a Black Friday deal on Hulu subscriptions?
Based on precedent, it seems likely that there will be a Black Friday deal on Hulu subscriptions.
Last year Hulu offered a huge discount, reducing the monthly price of an ad-supported plan from $7.99 monthly to just $0.99 for an entire year, marking the best discount of the season.
That wasn't all, as there were two extras: you can add Starz to Hulu for an extra $0.99 monthly (for six months), or get the Disney Bundle (Hulu + Disney Plus) for $2.99 monthly for an entire year.
There's no confirmation that Hulu's Black Friday deal in 2024 will be as good, but it could; a mid-October price increase for Hulu means that the streamer will have even more motivation to offer a deal in order to encourage fans to sign up.

When could the Hulu deal begin and end for Black Friday?
If Hulu follows suit and offers a Black Friday deal this year, you might be wondering when it could begin.
In 2023, the Hulu deal began on Tuesday, November 21, which was three days before Black Friday itself. It wasn't the first streaming deal to begin but it came quite soon after the others.
Three days before Black Friday this year would make it Tuesday, November 26, so for now that's our prediction on when a Hulu deal could start.
The Hulu deal ended on Tuesday, November 28, or the day after Cyber Monday. If Hulu copies its pattern this year, the deal end date for Black Friday 2024 would be Tuesday, December 3.
Will there be more Black Friday streaming deals?
You can use Black Friday to catch up on lots of TVs and movies because there will likely be a good few discounts across various streaming services.
Last year Max, Paramount Plus, Peacock, Fubo and Philo also saw discounts, though in my round-up of them I flagged Hulu as the best.
Above you can find linked my guides on all the other streaming services and whether they'll see discounts over 2024's Black Friday.
How much does Hulu normally cost?
Forgetting Black Friday deals, how much do you normally need to pay for Hulu?
If you sign up for Hulu right now, you'll have to pay $9.99 per month for its ad-supported plan or $18.99 for ad-free. This is since a price increase on Thursday, October 17.
The annual price of the ad-enabled option also increased to $99.99, though the ad-free alternative doesn't have an annual option.
Can you get a Hulu Black Friday deal if you already have an account?
Generally speaking, you can't redeem Black Friday deals for a Hulu subscription if you're a current user.
In the (at-time-of-writing) current Hulu deal, it's open to new subscribers, as well as people who haven't had an active subscription for over a month. So returning subscribers can sign up.
