Greatest Black Friday streaming deals: Save on Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+, Fire TV Sticks, and more

UPDATE: Nov. 23, 2022, 5:00 a.m. EST This story has been updated with the latest early Black Friday streaming deals. Here’s a brief overview:

Nobody is safe from inflation this holiday season — not even Hulu. After dropping the price of its ad-supported tier down to 99 cents per month last Black Friday, the streaming service is bumping the deal back to $1.99 a month this time around (same as 2020 and 2019).

Anyone who was hoping to lock in a year’s worth of movie- and TV-watching for a mere $12 might feel disappointed (and rightfully so, especially after Hulu joined many of its peers in a subscription price hike). But even at double the all-time-low rate it once offered, Hulu is still leading the pack in Black Friday 2022 streaming deals. If you need something new to watch or listen to this winter, keep reading to find out which services and devices are cheaper than usual right now.

Note: Any newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it

Hulu maintains a massive library of hit films, next-day TV episodes, and high-quality originals (think Only Murders in the Building and The Handmaid’s Tale), earning it a top spot on Mashable’s list of favorite streamers.

Some fine print on its 2022 Black Friday deal: The $1.99 offer is live from 12 a.m. PT on Wednesday, Nov. 23 until 11:59 p.m. PT on Monday, Nov. 28, and eligibility is limited to new and returning subscribers. Your Hulu (With Ads) plan will convert to its standard $7.99 monthly rate as soon as the 12-month promotional term ends unless you cancel it beforehand.

Why we like it

Named “the greatest media streamer you can buy for under $50” by our pals at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis), Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K(opens in a new tab) features Dolby Vision, HDR, and HDR10+ support and includes an Alexa Voice Remote for hands-free control. In a bold move, Greatest Buy is matching Amazon‘s 50% discount on it and throwing in free trials of Amazon Music Unlimited, Apple TV+, Showtime, and fuboTV Pro ahead of Black Friday. You love to see it.
