Looking for some exciting new films or shows to watch this summer? HBO Max is the place to find them. With a brand new season of House of the Dragon dropping this month and Euphoria's third season available to stream, there's plenty to watch right now.

If these have caught your eye, the good news is that HBO Max has a few different bundles available at the moment that are worth checking out, including a popular bundle with Disney+ and Hulu. The streamer is also offering a limited-time deal (until July 15) on its annual plans for your first year, dropping them down 28% from their usual yearly prices and offering 40% in overall savings compared to the monthly prices.

We've broken down that deal and other bundles below, so you can find the best option for you. With streaming prices on the rise, offers like these are a great way to save some cash while accessing your favorite services.

Alongside bundles, we've also broken down HBO Max's standard plans in case you're interested in its service on its own.

Why we like it

Until July 15, new and returning HBO Max subscribers can take advantage of a limited-time deal on annual plans for the first year. Compared to their usual yearly prices, you're saving 28% on each of these plans. However, in comparison to going for a monthly deal — which are priced higher than the plans that lock you in for a whole year — you're actually saving 40%.

Here's the breakdown of the available deals:

• HBO Max Basic With Ads — $78.99 per year $109.99 per year (save 28%)

• HBO Max Standard — $132.99 per year $184.99 per year (save 28%)

• HBO Max Premium — $164.99 per year $229.99 per year (save 28%)

Best Disney+ bundle deal

Why we like it

The HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu bundle is a top-tier choice for those looking to have access to some of the biggest streaming services around. Starting at $19.99 per month, this bundle grants you access to Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max's streaming services for a much lower price than what you'd pay for them on their own. If you've already got Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions, this bundle is worth every cent. If you're interested, there are two plan options to choose from:

• Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max Bundle (with ads) — $19.99 per month (save 42%)

• Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max Bundle (no ads) — $32.99 per month (save 41%)

Best Hulu bundle deal

Why we like it

If you're not interested in the Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max mega bundle, you can just get Hulu and HBO Max together if you already have a Hulu base plan, which starts at $11.99 per month. HBO Max Basic with Ads can be added onto your plan for $10.99 per month, or you can splash out on the HBO Max Standard plan for $18.49 per month.

• Hulu with HBO Max add-on — from $10.99 per month

Best student deal

Why we like it

It's always nice when streaming services have a deal for students, and HBO Max's offer is definitely worth taking advantage of. Students who can verify their status with UNiDAYS are eligible to get the HBO Max Basic With Ads plan for just $5.49 per month. That's a 50% discount off its $10.99 monthly price. After verifying your status, you'll receive a unique code that can be used to redeem the discounted plan on HBO Max.

• HBO Max Student Discount — $5.49 per month (save 50%)

HBO Max's monthly plans

HBO Max offers a few different subscription plans. If you don't mind having to sit through ads, HBO Max's Basic With Ads plan starts at $10.99 per month or the annual plan runs for $109.99 per year. If you can't stand ads and don't mind throwing down a bit more cash, the Standard plan will cost you $18.49 per month or $184.99 per year. If you really want to go big on an HBO Max plan, you can spring for the fancy Premium plan, which costs $22.99 per month or $229.99 per year.
