With the price of streaming services creeping up more and more these days, it's made the best streaming deals worth their wait in gold. For all you "John Wick" fans out there, Starz has a killer discount going on just in time for you to watch the high-octane spin-off "Ballerina," which arrived on the streamer last week.

Starz usually starts at $10.99 per month, but right now, you can get a full year's subscription to Starz for $11.99. Not ready to commit for a year? You can take it for a test run with a monthly plan for just a buck for your first three months. This limited-time streaming offer gives new and returning subscribers access to premium Starz content for up to 91% off. Just be sure to sign up before Friday, October 10 to get in on the savings.

Starz has binge-worthy hits for every taste, from gritty crime dramas to sweeping historical epics and pulse-pounding thrillers. Whether you're eager to dive into Starz originals like Outlander, counting down to the new Robin Hood series, or just want to peruse its library full of blockbuster hits, this deal brings premium streaming to you at a price that’s hard to beat.

In our "Ballerina" review, streaming writer Martin Shore called it "a successful spin-off with thrills to spare." While "the story might not be as inspiring and feel a tad underbaked," he said that "when the bullets are flying or the swords (or skates) are being swung, the carnage is still a joy to behold." Now that it's on Starz, "John Wick" fans looking for some adrenaline-pumping entertainment won't want to miss it.

Granted, Starz might not be the first name that pops into your head when you think of streaming, but it absolutely deserves to be on your radar. The streamer has plenty of addictive original series, from the time-traveling romance of the “Outlander” prequel “Blood of My Blood” to the hard-hitting drama of the “Power” universe.

But it’s not just about originals. Starz also offers a solid lineup of first-run movies plus a curated mix of cult classics, documentaries, genre favorites, and underrated gems. Right now, you can stream major hits like "Five Nights at Freddy’s," "Spider-Man: No Way Home," and "Fast X," for example. Best of all, you can stream Starz pretty much anywhere (on phones, tablets, smart TVs, or via browser) plus download some titles for offline watching if you're planning a trip or just want to avoid buffering.
