Unlike Amazon and Netflix who stream commercial-free movies and television shows in exchange for a monthly fee, Hulu’s existing $7.99 per month plan includes limited advertising. Wednesday, Hulu unveiled a new monthly plan that gets rid of all advertising for an extra $4 a month.

As noted in Hulu’s media release, commercial-free viewing is available to both new and existing customers for a monthly fee of $11.99.

“Choose to watch your favorite shows across all of your devices through our new No Commercials plan for $11.99/month or through our existing Limited Commercials plan for $7.99/month,” reads the blurb.

Due to streaming rights, some shows are not included in the new plan, such as Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon A Time, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, New Girl, Grimm and How To Get Away With Murder.

The fine print notes that subscribers can still watch these shows interruption-free, though a short commercial will play before and after each episode. As mentioned, Hulu’s $7.99 per month plan with limited commercials remains available.

“For viewers who choose to watch content with limited commercials, Hulu will continue to show fewer commercials than scheduled television,” Hulu said. A Showtime premium add-on is available for an additional $8.99 per month.
