4 Streaming Bundles With Starz

cord-cutting › streaming bundles with starz • May 1, 2024 • The Staff

Starz is a premium service that serves both sought-after films, mostly recent theatrical releases, and trendy TV shows, including fan favorites like FROM, Outlander, P-Valley, and Party Down. It's quite affordable on its own, but if you want streamlined billing, it's available on most services either as an add-on or as part of a bundle.

Some of the bundles below offer Starz at a discounted price. Amazon Prime has a Starz + MGM+ bundle that costs $3 less than if you would've gotten them separately, while YouTube TV has a Starz + Max + Showtime package that shaves $5 off the trio's original price. If you're looking for an even leaner deal, you can opt for one of Hulu's more affordable base plans, which starts at $7.99, then add Starz for another $8.99 per month.

Whatever you go for will depend on your specific needs, so to help you choose, we've listed some relevant information on the best Starz bundles you can get right now.

Of course, there is a price tag that comes with all of this that will rival the most expensive cable packages: over $100 a month.

YouTube TV Entertainment Plus (Live TV + Max, Showtime, and Starz)

With YouTube TV's entertainment bundle, you get three premium services for the discounted price of $30—that's $5 off compared to getting Max (without ads), Showtime, and Starz separately. It may seem pricey, especially since you'll be paying it on top of YouTube TV's already costly subscription, but it could be worth it if you're looking to get a first-rate entertainment package.

Max alone gives you access to HBO's critically-acclaimed shows, Warner Bros.'s past and present blockbusters, and Discovery's many wildlife features. But coupled with Showtime and Starz, you get prestige dramas, trendy comedies, and insightful documentaries on top of all that, not to mention YouTube TV's unrivaled DVR storage feature and lengthy live channel list. It's a bundle tailor-fit for TV and film enthusiasts.

Netflix & Starz Bundle (Verizon +Play)

If you purchase a one-year subscription of STARZ on Verizon's +play platform, you can get 12 months of Netflix Premium for free via the Netflix & Starz bundle. This saves you up to $240 in annual costs, since you'll only have to pay $75 (or about $6/month) for both Starz and Netflix for an entire year. After the 12 months are up, Verizon automatically charges you the regular monthly price of Netflix Premium, which is now $23/month. If you have an existing Netflix account, you can link it to this offer and transfer your billing to +play.

The +play platform is an online hub that centralizes subscriptions so you can access them all in one neat place. At the moment, it's only available to Verizon wireless, 5G Home, and LTE Home customers.

Hulu + Starz Bundle

If you're already subscribed to any of Hulu's existing plans (currently, those are with ads, no ads, and live TV), you can choose to boost your subscription with a Starz add-on for an extra $8.99 a month. This rounds up your library of Hulu originals with Starz's own collection of prestige series such as Gaslit, Outlander, and Serpent Queen, as well as their cult-status comedies like Party Down, Minx, and Ash vs. Evil Dead. Additionally, you can stream Starz live and log on to the app, if you have it, with your Hulu credentials.

While this simplified bundle is certainly interesting, it's even more appealing for TV fans out there who have much to gain from this pairing.

Amazon Prime Video + Starz and MGM+ Bundle

Amazon Prime Video has nearly 100 channels you can stack onto your subscription, and their specialties range from news to sports to education. But if it's pure entertainment you're after, then the Starz and MGM+ bundle might be of interest to you. You can add the bundle to your Amazon Prime subscription for a discounted rate of $11.99, saving you about $3 versus getting each of them separately.

Amazon Prime already has a constantly replenished trove of originals, but Starz adds even more comedies, like Party Down and P-Valley, while MGM+ (formerly Epix) adds slick dramas like Godfather of Harlem, FROM, and A Spy Among Friends. It's a bundle made for serial TV fanatics.
