Black Friday sales aren’t just for scoring ridiculously good TV deals. You also shouldn’t sleep on what you’re going to watch on that screen of yours. Case en pointe: The premium streaming add-ons to your Prime Video membership. If you love to binge-watch the latest and greatest TV shows (or have someone in mind for creative gifting), we highly advise you to take advantage of one of these streaming deals below. Today, you can add a streaming service to your Prime Video subscription (free already if you have Prime, by the way) for as low as $1.25 a month. You can also save even more by bundling some of these subscriptions together!
Although most of these Black Friday streaming add-ons cost up to $2 a month for 2 months, don’t forget, you can always cancel the subscriptions before they automatically renew and get every drop of your dollars’ worth for their duration. Consider these deals a glorified trial run and immediately add them to your cart — but don’t move too slow because the special wraps on December 1!
PBS Masterpiece (75% off 2 months)
Are you a fan of literature? PBS Masterpiece has been bringing high-quality British dramas, mysteries and period pieces to American audiences for quite some time now, and it includes some wonderful adaptations of classics like “All Creatures Great and Small” and “Agatha Christie's Poirot,” If that's up your alley, then good news: It'll only cost you less than $2 a month for 2 months to sign up for this service, and $6.99 monthly after that.
You can also bundle it with PBS Documentaries, a separate streaming service, for $2.25 monthly, then $8.99 after that.
PBS Documentaries (75% off 2 months)
If you're over the age of, let's say, 5, you're likely tuning into PBS to check the latest headlines and catch some of its fantastic documentaries. Well, this niche streaming network is purely a catalog of that — enriching information and impressively detailed docs on any subject you could possibly want.
Most notably, if there's a Ken Burns documentary, you can watch it here. That includes the documentarian's near 20-hour “Baseball,” fully restored in HD for the first time, and his latest master piece on “The Vietnam War.” For $1 a month, this is a steal. Plus, who doesn't love PBS? (Well...)
It's $1.25 a month for 2 months, then $4.99/month afterward.
You can also bundle this with PBS Masterpiece for $2.25 monthly, then $8.99 after that.
Apple TV+ (54% off 6 months)
The makers of your favorite OS are also in the business of prestige streaming services. While, yes, for some, Apple TV+ is basically a “Severance” service machine. But as someone who uses the service about as much as any other, I'm here to say it's much more than that.
For starters, it has fantastic televised adaptations of a few bestselling novels, like Hugh Howey's dystopian sci-fi series “Silo,” and Min Jin Lee's multi-generational immigrant drama “Pachinko.” It's got several thoughtful and sincere comedies like the grief-exploring “Shrinking” and the delightfully fluffy Maya Rudolph-led “Loot.” And I'm sure you've likely already heard of ”Ted Lasso.” But best of all (in my humble opinion), it's also got Friday Night Baseball, which, admittedly, I know nothing about but love watching on mute while I putz around my apartment. This is one killer deal you don't want to miss.
You can add Apple TV+ to your Amazon Prime Video subscription for $5.99 a month for 6 months, then pay $12.99 monthly after that.
Starz (75% off 2 months)
Starz is home to some bold original series like “Outlander” and 50 Cent's “Power”, along with a rotating library of blockbusters, like “Men In Black,” “Shaun of the Dead,” and “White Men Can't Jump”. It's got tons of premium content from Universal and Lionsgate, and right now, you can sign up for its ad‑free service with 4K support at $2.75/month for 2 months and pay $10.99/month after that.
You can save even more if you bundle Starz with another add-on subscription service, too:
You can pay $13.99 monthly for Starz and Hallmark+ bundle sub, after a 7-day free trial. The cost is $18.98 for buying both subs separately, so this deal saves you 26% off.
If you'd like to bundle Starz with ViX Premium — a Spanish language streaming service with live soccer, including UEFA and Liga MX — you can save $5 monthly. Separately, ViX costs $8.99 a month, while Starz is typically $10.99 a month.
BET+ (86% off 2 months)
BET+ has plenty of Black-focused entertainment, including originals like “Tyler Perry's Ruthless,” iconic sitcoms like “Martin,” and plenty of stand-up specials by Kevin Hart and Tyler Perry that you can't find anywhere else.
Now through Black Friday weekend, you can sign up for BET+ Premium at $1.50 monthly for 2 months, then pay $10.99/month after that. The plan includes over 4,000 movies and episodes, weekly premieres, the ability to download content and four simultaneous streams. This is a great time to catch up on premium BET content at a deep, deep discount.
Hallmark+ (75% off 2 months)
Imagine watching rom-coms and Christmas movies year-round. That's basically what Hallmark+ offers users who shamelessly love these cheesy made-for-TV films, mysteries and love stories. If the movie name “Mistletoe Murders” entices you, well, you're in the right place. Sign up for $2 a month for 2 months, then pay $7.99/month after. Stream all your favorite Hallmark-exclusive rom-coms, mysteries, and bingeable series in one place.
AMC+ (90% off 2 months)
If you like horror and zombies even when Halloween is long gone, then there's plenty of that on AMC+ for your Thanksgiving viewing pleasure and beyond. Home of “The Walking Dead” and all of its expanded content, AMC+ also houses content from BBC America, IFC, Shudder and Sundance TV, so you can surely catch some grizzly stuff like “28 Days Later” and “Hannibal” while binge-watching AMC originals like “Mad Men,” though the service is also currently home to my favorite TV series (at the moment), “Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire!”
AMC+ is just $1.75 monthly for 2 months, with or without ads, then $6.99/month and $9.99/month, respectively, afterward. The ad-free subscription includes six live TV channels and the ability to download content.
MGM+ (85% off 2 months)
Now owned by Amazon, MGM+ has a nice blend of movies you might've watched while flipping through cable channels in the '90s and early aughts (“Unforgiven,” “Event Horizon”), but mixed with plenty of award-nominated new releases (“Nickel Boys,” “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning,” “The Naked Gun”) and several action flicks (literally every Bond movie ever). The service has also debuted new teleivsion series, like “Robin Hood” and “Godfather of Harlem.” Basically: This is for the movie diehards who always want something to watch.
It's $1.99 monthly for 2 months, and then $6.99/month afterward. MGM+ has four live TV channels and grants users the ability to download content.
You can save even more if you bundle MGM+ with Moviesphere+, a service that includes several Lionsgate properties, for $2.25 a month for 2 months, then $8.99 afterwards.
Crunchyroll (75% off 2 months)
If you're an anime fan or you live in a household with one, this is one killer deal you don't want to miss. Crunchyroll's a home for legacy anime titles like “One Piece” and “Dragon Ball DAIMA,” but it also, wildly, translates and airs anime directly on its platform just hours after an episode premieres in Japan. Now that's service.
Crunchyroll also has tons of music videos from the biggest acts in J-Rock and K-Pop, several video podcasts series, a webstore, events, manga and so much more. This is value on top of value as Crunchyroll offers more than just video.
It's currently $2.99 per month for 2 months, and then $11.99/month after the promo ends. This subscription plan gives you the ability to download content, discounts at the Crunchyroll store and access to the service's game vault.
