Starz is the exclusive home to a vast library of content to keep you hooked, from Outlander to BMF. Signing up for the service is now more affordable than ever, with Starz offering new and returning subscribers their first month for only $5 or six months for $20.

Here's how it works: new and former Starz members can sign up and get their first month for only $5. If you're ready to commit for longer, just opt for the six-month plan for only $20 — an even better deal and $26 savings compared to the usual semi-annual plan price. No matter which you pick, the service will automatically renew at full price after your promotional period is up. 

Modern and period drama fans will love Starz's offerings. Its growing library of exclusives and originals features shows like Mary & George, Power, and Gaslit, along with hit films like Bad Boys For Life and Black Pioneer.

How much is Starz?

Starz typically costs $10 a month or $45 for a semi-annual plan that covers six months. If you've been considering the service, this deal is a no-brainer since it can save more than 50%. 

Who can claim the Starz offer?

The Starz offer is available to new and returning customers. Current subscribers are ineligible for the discount. To verify your eligibility, enter your email address when signing up.

Does Starz have a free trial?

Starz does not offer a free trial through its website, but Prime Video and Hulu subscribers can try the service out as an add-on to their service. It's a nice way to give Starz a shot before paying, but since we don't know how long this $20 offer will last, you may want to jump on that promotion instead.
