Earlier this year, the mega successful music streaming site Spotify joined forces with Hulu, a movie and television streaming site akin to Netflix, to offer students across the country both their respective services for $4.99 a month.

This move was widely regarded as super dope and a really good idea. 

Both companies have stated that the decision was an overwhelming success and have increased the user bases by millions of users.

Because of all this, Showtime, another streaming service, has decided to join in on the party, changing the original deal from the already amazing Hulu and Spotify combo to a new Showtime, Hulu, Spotify masterdeal for the same low price of $4.99.

With the Showtime addition comes every season of shows like Dexter, a critically acclaimed hit about the titular serial killer, along with access to newer episodes of shows still airing, like Shameless, the highly popular family drama about poverty.

It remains to be seen how successful this move will be, but if the past joining is any indication, this will be a very, very large success.
