  • Amazon's cut the price of 18 subscription add-ons to just $1.99
  • Discounts last for two months before reverting to normal prices
  • Offers for Prime Video subscription add-ons end on January 2, 2025

Prime Video has brought back some of the best Black Friday streaming deals just in time for the holidays. It's decided that this week is 'Digital Deals Week', and that means 18 Prime Video subscription add-ons are currently available for just $1.99 per month for two months.

You can find more details here, but like the discounted add-ons during the sale season, you'll need a Prime Video subscription to be able to sign up for these savings. Luckily, there is a 30-day free trial on offer if you're not sure about committing yet – here are three new Prime Video shows that might further sweeten deal.

With 18 different streaming subscriptions to choose from, you might be wondering which is best to take advantage of and if that's the case then there are three in particular I think you should put at the top of your to-subscribe list.

My top 3 Prime Video subscription add-ons

BBC Select monthly subscription
BBC Select monthly subscription: was $5.99 now $1.99 at Amazon

BBC Select is the online home of the BBC's best documentaries as well as the hilarious and irreverent Horrible Histories: Christmas Special. With a roster of subjects ranging from natural history to royal abdications, strange beliefs and modern politics, it's a great place to find shows that shed new light on important topics.

Crunchyroll monthly 'Fan' subscription
Crunchyroll monthly 'Fan' subscription: was $7.99 now $1.99 at Amazon

This is a huge discount that'll delight fans of anime: the Crunchyroll 'Fan' subscription is usually $7.99 per month so this is a discount of three-quarters. The Fan subscription doesn't give you offline viewing but it does give you ad-free viewing of over 46,000 episodes including Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. How many can you view before the two-month discount runs out?

MGM Plus monthly subscription
MGM Plus monthly subscription: was $6.99 now $1.99 at Amazon

This is a great way to check out the superb From, one of MGM's best shows and now in its third season: it's sci-fi with a hint of the supernatural and it's gripping stuff. There's also Hotel Cocaine from the creator of Narcos and the rather more gentle Belgravia, from the award-winning writer Jullian Fellowes.
