All that access doesn't come cheap. Ad-free Peacock Premium Plus is one of the more expensive services at $17 a month. Luckily, there are great Apple TV bundles to sweeten the pot, which add Apple TV for just $3 more. Steep discounts can also be had on the ad-supported premium plan if you're a student, an adult 18 to 24, an educator, a medical professional or first responder, a member of the military, a military family member, or a veteran.

This is not the lowest price this HBO/Disney/Hulu bundle has been. But it's still a good deal, more than 40 percent off list price for both ad-free ($33) and ad-supported ($20) versions. Disney owns a lot of stuff, and so its bundles remain the best price break in the streaming world. This is an excellent package for families with disparate tastes. Which is to say, it's a mix of more sophisticated adult programming from HBO and FX (Hulu) with unbridled Disney kid stuff and adult kid stuff (Marvel and DC Universes, Hulu's excellent library of anime). For a rundown, see WIRED's guide to the Best Shows on HBO Max Right Now, and the Best Shows on Disney. It's all worth the price of admission just for the human-feeling hospital procedural The Pitt, which contained one of the more realistic portrayals of AI creep in recent memory.
Note that existing streaming customers can also take advantage of this bundle, if desired—though you'll need to log in from the service you're subscribed to and change your subscription.
