Amazon's Prime Day has returned, and streaming rivals are offering competitive discounts. As an entertainment journalist, I've rounded up the best streaming deals from Prime Video's competitors, timed with the return of popular shows like House of the Dragon and Ted Lasso.
HBO Max Deal
New and lapsed HBO Max customers can get the Basic tier with ads for $6.58 per month for 12 months, down from $10.99. The full year must be prepaid at $78.99, a 40% drop from the usual $109.99. However, the Black Friday deal was cheaper at $2.99 per month. HBO Max remains a top streaming service, especially with the new season of House of the Dragon and the upcoming DC series Lanterns in August.
Apple TV Deal
Apple TV is not directly offering a deal, but Prime Video provides it as an add-on channel for $5.99 per month for two months, then reverts to $12.99. This covers the return of Ted Lasso for its fourth season in August, plus the thriller Cape Fear starring Amy Adams and Javier Bardem.
AMC+ Deal
Prime Video offers AMC+ as an add-on channel for $0.99 per month for two months, then $7.99. This includes The Walking Dead spinoffs and the new series The Vampire Lestat, a continuation of Interview with the Vampire.
Disney+ and Hulu Bundle
The Disney+ with ads and Hulu with ads bundle is $11.99 per month for six months, only $1 off the regular $12.99. Hulu will integrate into Disney+ later this year. Standout shows include The Bear and Only Murders in the Building, with new seasons this summer, plus X-Men '97 on Disney+.
Paramount+ Deal
Paramount+ offers both standard and premium tiers for $0.99 per month for two months through June 25. The premium tier includes Showtime content. This allows new fans to catch the final two episodes of Yellowstone spinoff 1923, which has been a streaming hit.
Starz Deal
Starz offers $0.99 per month for two months as an add-on on Prime Video, down from $11.99. Summer lineup includes the final season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, the psychological thriller The Listeners, and the crime drama Fightland.
