Max Black Friday deal: Get six months of streaming access for 70% off
The day after Thanksgiving is the perfect time to eat leftovers on the couch and chill out with your favorite holiday movie, rewatch of all the Friends holiday episodes or revisit the world of Harry Potter. The best place to do either of those things is on Max, which is offering a huge early Black Friday deal right now.
The HBO streamer is also home to a whole lot of classic Christmas movies including Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story and (most importantly to me) every season of Friends. When the festivities are over for the year, you can also turn to more prestige shows like Succession and Industry.
This week, HBO's Max is giving new and eligible returning subscribers the ad-supported plan for just $3/month for six months. That's $42 in savings and access to hugely popular shows like Dune: Prophecy, House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones, Sex and the City, Sex Lives of College Girls, The Last of Us and more. Plus stream Warner Bros. releases like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (streaming Dec. 6), TRAP and both Dune movies.
Max, AKA "the one to watch," has everything from Christmas classics to new Warner Bros releases, and pretty much every buzzy show your family might try to spoil for you over the holidays.
Right now, get ad-supported Max for just $3/month for six months and then you'll maybe (fingers crossed) catch the Season 2 premiere of The Last of Us for less. In the meantime though, there's always Dune: Prophecy and House of the Dragon and The Penguin and much much more.
Why is this a good Black Friday deal?
Anyone who streams anything these days knows that streaming platforms rarely (if ever, *cough* Netflix *cough*) have sales. But not only is this Max Black Friday deal a rarity, it will save you up to $42 on streaming in the months — which feels especially significant in this day and age of streaming costs.
As a professional streaming writer, I take advantage of Black Friday streaming deals every year so I can have access to all the newest shows I need to write about without shelling out tons of money every month. I personally already took advantage of this deal and am so excited to start streaming Dune: Prophecy.
Why do I need Max?
Okay, you maybe don't need HBO's Max streaming platform, but if you want to watch all the best Friends Thanksgiving episodes this week, or make your whole family watch Dune: Part Two with you after Thanksgiving dinner, or catch up on the new season of The Sex Lives of College Girls on your journey home, then this deal could come in handy.
Who is eligible for the Max deal?
Brand new subscribers and eligible former Max subscribers can take advantage of this Black Friday deal.
How long is the Max sale running for?
The Max Black Friday deal runs now through Monday, Dec. 2.
