Another day, another made-up holiday. In honor of National Streaming Day on May 20th \u2014 a holiday I, too, recently found out existed \u2014 Hulu is basically giving away two months of its ad-supported plan for free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Let me explain. Until May 27th at 11:59PM PT (or May 28th at 2:59AM ET), you can subscribe to Hulu\u2019s ad-supported plan for just $2 a month for the first three months<\/a>. Usually, the base plan runs $7.99 a month or about $24 for three months, which means you\u2019re saving $18 \u2014 or, in essence, getting about two months for free. Moreover, the deal isn\u2019t just available to new subscribers but also to returning subscribers who canceled at least a month ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you don\u2019t mind a few ads popping up every now and then, the entry-level subscription is otherwise similar to the ad-free tier. Both grant members access to thousands of movies and TV shows, including future seasons of Futurama<\/em><\/a> and The Bear<\/em><\/a> when they premiere this summer. You just won\u2019t be able to download content for offline viewing like you can with the more premium plans, even if the ad-free tier does grant you access to the same catalog and allow multiple people to stream content simultaneously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Just be sure to mark your calendars if you don\u2019t want to pay full price at the end of the promotion period. Your subscription, after all, will jump back to the regular rate of $7.99 a month after the three-month window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
