Whether it's live sports, award-winning movies and shows, original series, or a deep roster of global franchises like Harry Potter, Batman, or Game of Thrones, HBO Max is easily one of the top premium streaming services available. With Black Friday Deals popping out long before turkey day, you can now get your hands on the critically acclaimed series and films on HBO Max at a price that's even lower than last year's Black Friday deal.

At a little more than 70% off their normal monthly price, HBO Max is at an incredible deal of $2.99 for 12 months. Our analyst, Jordan Minor, in his review, said the streaming service offers one of the strongest libraries streaming today. Viewers can access hundreds of hours from classic series like The Wire and The Sopranos, all-new HBO series like Task and The Pitt, classic Warner Bros. films, and all-new blockbusters like Superman. When you factor in HBO Max's live sports coverage on the NHL, NBA, and the upcoming NCAA Men's March Madness season, you're getting arguably the best deal in streaming this Black Friday.

While HBO Max's other plans (standard and premium) are currently at their normal price, there are a few extras you can receive that the basic plan does not offer, notably 4K video quality and Dolby Atmos features. If those two incredible features are not your thing, or more importantly, if you don't have the TV or soundbar to deliver that type of HD picture and sound, then the basic package is an absolute steal.

Bundling streaming services is another option for those looking to satisfy every member of the household. And while HBO Max bundles are not currently on sale, you can still bundle the streaming service with Disney+ and Hulu in ad and non-ad packages. However, if you're looking to just get your hands on HBO's fantastic video library, then now's the time to jump in.

Note: This limited time deal is available now until Monday December 1 for new and returning HBO Max customers via hbomax.com and through Apple, Google Play, Roku, Samsung and Xumo, and new HBO Max customers via Amazon Fire.
