If you’re hoping to catch up on Mary & George, or want to binge BMF and the Power franchise, you’ll need to sign up for Starz. Below we’re rounding up everything you need to know about the Starz free trial, how to watch Starz for free and, of course, a major limited-time deal on Starz’s semi-annual plan.
The best active Starz deal, and one of the best streaming deals in May, is the $19.99 offer for a semi-annual plan. Six months of Starz regularly costs $45.99, so you’re saving over 57% thanks to this limited-time deal. After your six months is up, your Starz subscription will automatically renew at its regular $9.99/month price. You can, however, cancel before your three months has ended to avoid paying the regular price.
Or, if you’re looking for a short-term commitment there are a couple of ways to get three months of Starz for less. Right now, new users can save 50% on the monthly subscription price and pay just $4.99/month for their first three months of the streaming platform when they sign up directly on Starz. Once the first three months are up, your subscription will automatically renew at its regular $9.99/month price. But remember, you can cancel before your billing cycle ends to avoid paying the full Starz price!
If you’re a Prime Video subscriber, there’s an even sweeter Starz deal. In lieu of its usual Starz free trial, Prime Video is offering users three months of the add-on for just $1.99/month. The deal is only good until Tuesday, May 28 so you’ll have to act fast to claim the offer. Keep in mind, the $1.99/month is on top off a $14.99/month Prime membership — making the deal over at Starz a better offer. If you already subscribe to Prime, however, this one is for you.
Whether you want to capitalize on the short or long-term deal, signing up for Starz is easy. Below are step-by-step instructions for claiming the best Starz deals right now:
Since there’s no Starz free trial, you’ll want to at least claim one of the offers outlined above to watch Starz for less. With no promo code required, signing up for the $1.99/month deal through Prime Video is easy! Here are the step-by-step instructions for claiming your discounted Starz plan via Prime Video:
If you aren’t sure about signing up for Starz, you might be hoping to test the waters with a Starz free trial. Unfortunately, the streamer doesn’t currently offer a free trial. The good news? Starz free trials have been offered in the past. Plus, the streamer regularly offers great deals, so you ahrdly ever have to pay full price.
If you don’t want to wait for the next free trial period from Starz, here’s our tip: Since you can cancel a Starz subscription any time, sign up for one the deals outlined above, and cancel before the regular-priced billing cycle begins. This way, you’ll only be out a few bucks, making the limited-time deals the best option for watching Starz for free-ish. Hey, you might even find that you love everything the streamer has to offer and keep your subscription active for years and years to come.
Even though new users cannot enjoy a Starz free trial from the streamer itself, there are still other ways to watch Starz for free.
Prime Video typically offers subscribers a Starz seven-day free trial. After the free week, your Starz add-on will automatically renew at the regular price of $9.99/month. Because of the current $1.99/month offer, however, Prime Video has paused the Starz free trial. Keep checking back here for all the latest on Starz’s free trial on Prime Video.
Another great way to get a seven-day Starz free trial, is by signing up for Fubo TV. Fubo TV offers several plans and premium add-ons, including Starz, which can all be enjoyed for seven days free. Subscriptions start $74.99.
Once you subscribe to Starz, you get access to tons of popular series including Mary & George, BMF, Power Book II: Ghost, Shining Vale, Outlander, Minx, Men in Kilts, Party Down, Blindspotting, Run the World and P-Valley. Starz offers tons of films, too, such as The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Django Unchained, Maleficent, Planet of the Apes, Jaws, Passengers, 8 Mile and more.
