The Dealmaster is back with another wallet-friendly PSA: If you've been meaning to watch The Dropout, catch up on What We Do in The Shadows before season four comes out, or check out the upcoming season of The Orville, Hulu is currently offering three months of its ad-supported streaming plan for $3, or $1 per month.
The popular streaming service technically kicked off this promotion last week to celebrate "National Streaming Day"—which, no, we don't consider a real thing, either—but the offer is still active and will last through May 27. Either way, this is the kind of deal we typically see reserved for holiday season promotions; this past Black Friday, for instance, Hulu offered a full year of service for the same $1-per-month rate.
Like that deal, this offer is only for new Hulu subscribers and anyone who canceled their membership more than a month ago. So sadly, current subscribers can't take advantage. (This does mean the Dealmaster's serial canceling has paid off, however.) After the three-month promotional period, you'll be charged the plan's regular $7 per month if you choose not to cancel. This deal is for the ad-supported version of the service, which is annoying, but the ads might be a little more palatable given the discounted rate. Also note that this plan allows for up to two simultaneous streaming sessions, which is the limit for all of Hulu's plans unless you pay an extra $10 per month for unlimited screens.
