SCIENCE & TECH: This Disney+ and Hulu deal gets you 58% off for a limited-time – here are 3 critically-acclaimed TV shows to tempt you to sign up

Disney+ and Hulu launched a surprise new deal at the beginning of 2026 that gets you 58% off the ad-supported bundle.

The best streaming deals usually take place on Black Friday, but this one has come early. That’s good news if you want to save a few dollars after the holiday season.

This deal runs until February 17, 2026, so act fast if you want to take advantage of it as it won’t be around forever!

Take a look a below for more details about the deal, then scroll down to see which three shows I recommend you start with once you sign up. Trust me, you won’t want to miss these.

Paradise

RT score: 86%
Creator: Dan Fogelman
Cast: Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, James Marsden
Age Rating: TV-MA

This is one of the best Hulu shows for a reason. While the series took me by surprise last year, I ended up describing the Paradise finale as “mind-blowing”.

I’m very relieved Paradise season 2 is on the way, which is why I’m urging everyone to check out this great thriller series. It starts as your average political thriller, but takes a shocking turn, so there’s plenty of twists along the way.

The show follows agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) as he seeks to discover the truth behind the assassination of the President (James Marsden), and had me gripped from start to finish.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians

RT score: 95%
Creators: Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg
Cast: Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn
Age Rating: TV-PG

If you were disappointed by the Percy Jackson movies, this Disney+ series makes things better. It is an incredibly faithful adaptation of Rick Riordan’s beloved young adult series.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 is now streaming. But in an interview with TechRadar, Riordan told us that Percy Jackson season 3 is “well underway”, so there’s lots to be excited about for the future of the show.

The series centers on a boy who learns he’s a demigod and must come to terms with his new divine powers. Along the way he meets others like him, and ends up in serious trouble when Zeus accuses him of stealing his Master Bolt, leading him on a dangerous quest to put things right.

A Thousand Blows

RT score: 90%
Creator: Steven Knight
Cast: Erin Doherty, Stephen Graham, Malachi Kirby. Francis Lovehall, James Nelson-Joyce, Jason Tobin, Darci Shaw
Age Rating: TV-MA

Finally, Steven Knight’s new series is a must watch. All episodes of A Thousand Blows season 2 are now available, so if you’re looking for a good binge watch, you’ll find it here.

The series focuses on two best friends from Jamaica, who fight for survival in Victorian London’s East End, where there’s danger round every corner. They come up against an all-female crime syndicate known as the Forty Elephants and the leader of the East End’s illegal bare-knuckle boxing world.

Knight recently confirmed that 35% of A Thousand Blows season 2 is based on real-life, so if you’re curious about the inspirations behind it, there’s a lot of history to dig into.
