As the big streaming services continue to battle it out for our attention, they’ve been pumping more and more money into thesehuge productions. Netflix, for example, already has a solid handful of blockbuster hits likeStranger Things(which costs around $30 million per episode to make) and continues to excite with shows like the (surprisingly faithful and high-quality) live-actionOne Piece. The talk of the town at the moment is the third season of the wildly popularBridgertonseries, which offers an alternative take on the London Regency era.
Contrary to otherstreaming services, Netflix does not offer a free trial, and with the recent changes to cross-account sharing (and increases in monthly prices), it can seem like the deals have dried up. But we’re here to point you in the right direction, and hopefullysave you some money.
Netflix is a global streaming service offering on-demand access to movies, TV shows, documentaries, and original content. Founded in 1997 as a DVD rental service, it transitioned to streaming in 2007 and now operates in over 190 countries.

Does Netflix have a free trial?
Free trials are a thing of the past, unfortunately
Netflix discontinued its free trial back in 2020, and it doesn’t look like it’s coming back any time soon, unfortunately.
