Lionsgate's Starz Drops Below $1 as Ballerina Launches

While many streaming services keep raising prices (we see you, Disney+), Starz just announced an incredible price cut. To mark the exclusive streaming debut of Ballerina (From the World of John Wick, to be exact), new subscribers can secure Starz for three months at just $0.99 per month or get a full year for a single payment of $11.99.

If you're looking to trim your monthly subscription bills without sacrificing something great to watch, this ranks among the top streaming bargains of the year.

Unlike most competitors, Starz maintains a single, straightforward plan. This ad-free subscription includes unlimited downloads and lets you stream on up to four devices simultaneously. The regular price is $10.99 per month or $60.99 per year.

Starz is currently running two limited-time promotions. You can choose between three months at $0.99 per month or pay $11.99 once for an entire year. That's roughly 90% off the monthly rate and 80% off the annual plan. The choice boils down to whether you want to test the service for a few months or lock in a full year of savings.

What’s on Starz?

Starz is famous for originals like Outlander and Spartacus (which is launching a new spin-off in December), but it has steadily grown a substantial content library. An exclusive first-run deal with Lionsgate brings hits like the Borderlands movie, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and the recent From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. A similar agreement with Universal Pictures delivers films like Fast X and Five Nights at Freddy's to Starz after their 18-month windows on Peacock and Prime Video.

Should You Wait for Black Friday?

Generally, the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend is prime time for stocking up on streaming subscriptions. In 2024, we witnessed huge offers like Hulu for $0.99 and HBO Max at 70% off. However, Starz's own Cyber Monday deal last year was your first two months for $2.75—more expensive than the current promotion. Other discounts were only available as add-ons through Hulu, which will merge into Disney+ next year.

The "90% off for three months" deal might come back, but it's rare to see an 80% discount applied to a full-year subscription. While we expect great deals on services like Hulu and HBO Max, this Starz offer is likely the best we'll see this year and stands as one of the most affordable long-term subscription deals available from any provider.
