May and June are rarely considered the best time of year to land a streaming deal, though that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to save if you can forgo big-name services like Netflix and Hulu. Now through May 30th, for instance, both new and returning subscribers can sign up for a year of ad-supported Peacock Premium for just $24.99 ($55 off) when they use promo code SPRINGSAVINGS at checkout.
Admittedly, Peacock doesn’t carry the same kind of prestige as other services, but it still has plenty to offer in the way of TV shows and movies. The second season of Poker Face, Rian Johnson’s Columbo-inspired series starring Natasha Lyonne, premiered less than a week ago, and Oscar darling Wicked made its streaming debut exclusively on Peacock just recently. And if you want something to look forward to, Greg Daniels’ latest mockumentary series, a spinoff of The Office called The Paper, will hit the streaming platform in September.
One caveat to keep in mind with Peacock’s ongoing promo is that you’ll be automatically charged the full subscription price (currently $79.99) at the end of the 12-month period. Thankfully, you can turn off Peacock’s auto-renew feature and still access the full slate of programming until the end of your billing cycle, ensuring you won’t be charged whatever price hike will inevitably go into effect before then.
