This free Apple TV Plus Black Friday deal lets you watch some of my favorite shows of 2024 gratis

Ronald Peet and Vince Vaughn in Bad Monkey.

There are multiple reasons why my favorite Black Friday streaming deal is my favorite. It's on premium TV platform Apple TV Plus, and it gets you three months of streaming completely free.

Obviously, any promotion that nets you a bonus for no money is great, especially an Apple TV Plus Black Friday deal because most of my favorite shows from 2024 are on the platform. You'll be able to watch Bad Monkey, Sugar and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters without paying. I'd sign up for this deal if I didn't already watch the shows for coverage!

This isn't a deal offered by Apple, because in all my many years of covering Black Friday, I've never seen one (not counting Apple TV Plus free trials). But other companies come to the rescue and that's why this Roku deal is really big.

Yes, it's technically a Roku deal: anyone that owns a Roku streaming stick or TV can sign up for Apple TV Plus for free for three months (and there are some other Roku Channel deals you can find here). Bear in mind that Roku devices are as cheap as $17.99 right now because they too have Black Friday deals on them. So it's cheaper to buy one of these (the Roku Express is the cheapest one) than pay the usual $9.99 fee for your first three months.

I'll list some Roku deals below that you can pick from, and the company's TVs and streaming sticks alike are on offer. All you need to do to get the free three months of Apple TV Plus is sign up through your Roku device until Thursday, January 2 when it expires. For any more information, check out the Roku Blog posting about all of its deals here.

There are also plenty of Roku TVs on offer from the company's Select, Plus and Pro lines in different sizes, and you can find the Amazon listings for those here.

How to get the free Apple TV Plus

Once you've bought and received the Roku player, you'll need to set it up quickly to get the deal, because this only works if you sign up on or before Monday, December 2.

When it's working, set up Apple TV Plus and you'll be prompted with the promotion to try the streaming service for free.

Technically, you don't need to have bought a streaming device to make the most of this deal, so if you already own a Roku TV or stick you can make the most of it too.

What terms and conditions are there?

According to Roku's terms and conditions:

"Apple TV+ offer ends 2/1/2025 at 11 pm ET. Available in the Apple TV app on Roku streaming devices. New subscribers only. Plan auto-renews until cancelled."
