Peacock is offering huge Black Friday savings for its ad-based Peacock Premium subscription, granting access for $20 for an annual subscription or $2 a month for six months if you’d prefer the monthly version.

Paramount Plus has launched its Black Friday deal, and it will be available through Dec. 4. New and returning customers can pay just $3 per month for the first two months on a monthly subscription.

When the two-month discount expires, you will be billed at Paramount Plus’ regular monthly rates of $8 for Essential and $13 for Paramount Plus with Showtime.
Did you know you can subscribe to streaming services like Apple TV Plus, Paramount Plus and Max via Prime Video? These add-on subscriptions typically cost the same as they would outside of Prime Video, but you can save on some of them right now ahead of Black Friday.

Do Black Friday streaming service deals actually save you money?
Generally, yes. Many streaming services offer really great Black Friday deals. For example, top streamers like Hulu and Peacock have offered great rates during Black Friday sales. In fact, last year Hulu offered a year of service for just $1 per month. However, the caveat is that some Black Friday deals are exclusive to new subscribers, while others may only last for a few months, rather than the entire year. If you know you want to sign up for a streaming service soon, it may be best to skip free trial offers and instead sign up as a new subscriber closer to Black Friday.
Which streaming services usually offer the best Black Friday deals?
That’s hard to say, as it depends on your preferences. However, it’s worth noting that Netflix has not participated in Black Friday price cuts previously, while we’ve seen deals from Peacock, Disney, Hulu, Starz, Fubo and more, so there should be plenty of offerings to help you get access to new content at a great price.
