Why Hulu should be top of your streaming service list this year
Affordability and a huge library of zeitgeisty shows: Hulu is the subscription service that can do both.
We’re beyond the golden age of television. We’re lucky enough to be living in the platinum era, with a slew of incredible shows to spark your conversations. The hard part is finding the right streaming service in a sea of options.
If conversation-worthy TV at an affordable price point is what you’re after, Hulu should be on your list for one-stop streaming services. Here are just a few reasons why.
Binge-worthy shows
Hulu is home to the two biggest Emmy award winners in comedy: The Bear and Abbott Elementary — and it’s the perfect time to catch up. There are new episodes of Abbott Elementary dropping right now, and the third season of The Bear is set for release in less than two months.
Award winners aside, some of the most-talked-about shows of the moment are available to stream on Hulu, like the much-anticipated American Horror Story: Delicate (Part 2).
Plus, if you have cable favorites, Hulu helps you avoid spoilers. Unlike other streaming platforms, they release most new episodes at midnight the day after they air live.
Bundles for every budget
As one of the oldest streaming services around (it launched way back in 2007) Hulu has managed to keep costs low for subscribers without sacrificing quality or quantity in the content library. And since Disney acquired Hulu, the bundle deals are better than what it was.
The starting plan is just $7.99 for ad-supported viewing. With no ads, it’s $17.99 per month. If you want to add on Disney+ and ESPN+, you’re looking at $14.99 a month with ads or $24.99 a month without ads. If you love watching shows or sports live, you can bundle Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+, and Live TV with unlimited DVR for $76.99 per month with ads, or $89.99 per month without. All plans have a 30-day free trial available to new subscribers.
Diverse streaming for every type of viewer
Outside of TV shows, Hulu has a little bit of everything.
Cinefiles can get through the catalog of movies like Black Swan and Parasite before exploring the many channel add-ons. As for sports, the live TV bundle has you well and truly covered with CBS Sports, ESPN, ESPN 2, local channels in your zip code, and more.
If anime is your thing, Hulu is the pick of the major streaming services with new and classic titles like My Hero Academia, Himuto! Umaru-chan and Ghost in the Shell. And when you need to wind down with a documentary, you can choose from celebrity biopics, fashion stories, nature documentaries, and more.
With Emmy-winning and new shows, a huge back catalog of entertainment spanning multiple genres, and great value bundle plans, Hulu is the best way to consolidate your streaming services and get the most of everything in one affordable plan.
