Starz Black Friday Blowout: Stream Hit Movies & Series for Just $1 a Month

Starz is kicking off the holiday season with a packed November 2025 slate and a forward-looking business strategy that could reshape the premium network’s future. The newest draw for subscribers is Power Book IV: Force season 3, premiering November 7 and anchoring Fridays all month as Tommy Egan battles Chicago’s criminal hierarchy. To keep viewers binge-ing, Starz has dropped an action-heavy catalog refresh that includes the five-film Mission: Impossible marathon, Spider-Man: No Way Home (Extended Cut) streaming exclusively on the platform, and fan-favorites such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Colombiana and Kingdom of Heaven. Thanksgiving weekend brings Spartacus marathons to warm audiences up for the new prequel series Spartacus: House of Ashur arriving in December. Behind the scenes, newly independent Starz is eyeing expansion opportunities following its May split from Lionsgate. CEO Jeff Hirsch told analysts the company wants to acquire “marooned” linear cable networks—brands with strong identities but shrinking traditional audiences—to accelerate its pivot to ad-supported and hybrid streaming models. By plugging these channels into the tech stack that already delivers 70 percent of Starz viewing digitally, the network hopes to widen its content funnel, drive cross-promotion and cut subscriber churn. The growth plan arrives as Starz reports 12.3 million U.S. OTT subscribers—up 110,000 quarter-over-quarter—even as total domestic subs dipped due to cord cutting. Hirsch says longer original seasons and heavier ownership stakes in series like the forthcoming boxing drama Fightland will improve margins and give Starz the leverage it needs when negotiating global licensing deals. For viewers, the immediate takeaway is simple: November is one of the service’s most stacked months in years. Genre hubs such as “Mission: Impossible – Binge Protocol,” “’90s Throwbacks,” and “Thrillers” make discovery easy, while daily marathons of Outlander, BMF and Magic City offer low-commitment entry points for holiday couch surfers. Subscribers should also note the last-call list—hits like Now You See Me, Titanic and Big Momma’s House exit on November 30—before planning watchlists. Between a buzzy Power spinoff, blockbuster movie exclusives and aggressive M&A chatter, Starz is positioning itself as the boutique streamer to watch this winter. Expect the platform’s blend of prestige drama, event films and targeted genre collections to dominate streaming recommendation engines—and search results—as viewers hunt for fresh holiday marathons and 2026’s next must-see originals.
