Black Fridays of years past might have had avid shoppers waiting in line for hours or getting into department store brawls as they scoped out the best post-Thanksgiving deals. Now, some of the best deals can be found online and are usually available for at least slightly longer than 24 hours, which is something we can all feel thankful for as we fill up our virtual shopping carts.
This year, streaming platforms in particular have been rolling out competitive Black Friday deals that bring down monthly costs to lower than we’ve ever seen them. From Hulu, HBO Max and Prime Video, which are all down to $2/month, to Showtime, which is currently offering a 30-day free trial for a limited time, basically every streaming platform has an unbeatable deal that you’ll want to check out before the holiday weekend commences.
Below, check out the best Black Friday streaming deals to snag right now:

From Nov. 23 to Dec. 2, Amazon Prime subscribers can get select Prime Video channels for as low as $2/month for their first two months. This includes coveted channels such as AMC+, Paramount+ , Showtime and Starz which can normally cost upwards of $11/month.
