The $12 for 1 Year deal (effectively $1/month) was a major Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2025 promotion. This deal is technically “expired” in official marketing, but it often lingers for a few days after the event.
Here is how to check if you can still grab it, and the next best alternatives if it is gone.
1. How to Check if the $12 Deal is Still Active
The deal was available directly on the homepage for new and returning subscribers.
Go to Starz.com in a private/incognito browser window.
Look for a banner that says “Claim Special Offer” or “Limited Time Offer.”
Toggle the Billing: If you see a price like “$3/month,” look for a toggle switch (usually near the top or bottom of the plan box) that says “Annual” or “Yearly.” The $12 price often only reveals itself when you switch to annual billing.
2. The Current “Backup” Offers (December 2025)
If the $12 annual plan is completely gone from the site, these are the active promotions available right now:
$19.99 for 6 Months: This is the standard “holiday” rate appearing for many users now. It comes out to roughly ~$3.33/month.
$3/Month for 3 Months: This is the most common introductory offer. You pay $9 total for the first 3 months, then it renews at the standard rate (usually ~$10.99/month).
Tip: You can cancel immediately after subscribing to avoid the price jump in month 4.
3. Important Terms & Catch
Auto-Renewal: If you manage to snag the $12/year deal, remember that after 12 months, it will auto-renew at the full annual price (currently around $74.99/year). Set a calendar reminder to cancel it in November 2026.
Bundle Options: If you use Hulu or Disney+, check your “Add-ons” section there. Sometimes they match the Starz direct pricing ($0.99/month for 6 months) to keep you on their platform.
Recommendation:
Try the website on a desktop computer if mobile isn’t showing the offer. If you don’t see the $12 price, the $19.99 for 6 months is the best value available today.
