Many products, from tech and electronics to mattresses, are on sale this Cyber Monday. So are the best services. Hulu, a top streaming service for TV shows, movies, and live TV, is once again offering a can't-miss deal for new subscribers.

Hulu's Cyber Monday deal:

Available now through 11:59 p.m. PST on December 2: New subscribers can sign up for the ad-supported Basic Hulu subscription for just $1.99 a month.

However, the deal comes with a couple of restrictions:

• Only new Hulu subscribers - meaning brand new subscribers and past subscribers whose subscriptions ended over 12 months ago - are eligible for this deal.
• If you signed up for Hulu's $0.99 promotion that ran during this time in 2018, you are not eligible for the new deal.

The 2019 Cyber Monday deal is not as good as last year's deal, which gave new subscribers a yearlong subscription to the ad-supported version of Hulu for $0.99 a month, but it's still a strong deal overall that will let you enjoy a huge library of shows and movies at a discounted price. Our editor who signed up for the 2018 deal ultimately continued paying for the regular subscription because of its great value.
