What are the best on-demand streaming services for Spanish speakers?
Next is on-demand streaming services, which don't have live channels but are budget-friendly.
These services range from $5 to $20, depending on which plan you get.
The higher pricing means there are no ads, y nadie quiere anuncios, so we recommend you pay a few bucks more for zero interruptions during your La Reina Del Sur marathon.
Hay cuatro streaming services para ti o para tu mamá: Netflix, Disney+, Peacock, and Hulu.
Netflix: Most Spanish on-demand content
Netflix has at least 3x more Spanish TV shows and movies than any other on-demand streaming service.
When you click the search button and type in “Spanish,” you’ll find an endless list of Spanish TV shows, movies, telenovelas, and kids’ programming. We’re talking 500 programas y películas!
Although Netflix is the most expensive on-demand streaming service, we like how you can choose a plan based on your budget and get the same content with all four subscription plans.
You’ll just want to order Premium si tu Abuelita, tu Papá, y tú will be streaming at once.
Some Spanish TV shows and movies you can find on Netflix include the following:
- Through My Window
- Como Caído del Cielo
- You've Got This
- Honeymoon with My Mother
- Sí Mi Amor
- El Rey, Vicente Fernández
- Anonymously Yours
- Street Food: Latin America
- Sounds Like Love
- Don't Blame Karma!
- Perdida
- Guatemala: Heart of the Mayan World
Original Spanish programming aside, Netflix lets you listen to any of its English-based TV shows and movies con audio Español.
This means you can enjoy Netflix's entire library.
Hulu: Quality Spanish-language on-demand content
Hulu has a lot of great Spanish-language titles that you won’t find anywhere else, such as Telemundo telenovelas, Hulu Originals, and kids’ content.
We really like how you can find lots of quality and highly-reviewed movies and TV shows in Spanish with Hulu, such as Una Familia Moderna y 12 Corazones. And we counted about 30 movies and 60 TV shows in Spanish.
The price of Hulu looks pricey compared to Netflix (especially when Netflix has a lot more titles), pero si quiere todo, order both services for $15–$35/mes.
You’ll find Telemundo telenovelas (Marido en Alquiler), kids programming (Paw Patrol en Español), and English-language shows with Spanish audio (CSI en Español).
To find this content, type "Espańol" or "Spanish" in the search bar.
The Spanish-language TV shows and telenovelas you’ll find on Hulu are the following:
- The Valet
- Noticias Telemundo
- Monos
- Caso Cerrado
- Limbo
- Jorge el Curioso
- Catfish México
- El Encargado
- Deep Water
- The Queen of Spain
- Aquí Entre Nos
- El Repatriado
Disney+: Best for Spanish-speaking families
Disney+ es perfecto para Spanish-speaking families with children who love Disney movies and shows.
Disney+ keeps familias latinas in mind because this service let's you watch all of its movies and TV series with Spanish audio!
And we like how Disney+ allows you to create a Spanish-based profile during your sign-up process, so you only get Spanish-language content suggestions!
You’ll find suggestions such as Comedias, De Adolescente a Adulto, Acción y Aventura, Deportes, Inspiradas En Libros, y Clásicos de Marvel.
You’ll find the following Spanish-language on-demand content on Disney+:
- La Bella y La Bestia
- Luca
- Mickey Mouse Funhouse
- Coco
- Encanto
- Monstruos, S.A.
- Aviones
- Wakanda Forever
- Pinocho
- Bluey
- Frozen
- Spidey and His Amazing Friends
NBCUniversal Peacock: Best for Telemundo content
Since most streaming services don't have the Telemundo channel, Peacock TV is a nice addition to your entertainment for only $7–$14.
Peacock is one of the only services on this list to have the following:
- An “En Español” genre in the TV Shows section
- A Telemundo hub where you can find TV shows and movies aired on Telemundo
- Soccer matches in Spanish
This streaming service has close to 50 movies—and they’re mostly English movies with Spanish audio! No need to read subtitles.
So you can watch all the Godfather movies, Shrek, and The Bourne Ultimatum on the weekend con la familía.
Or choose from over 60 shows and telenovelas, such as the following:
- 100 Días para Enamorarnos
- Al Otro Lado del Muro
- Amor Valiente
- Betty en NY
- Café Con Aroma de Mujer
- Caso Cerrado
- El Señor de los Cielos
- Corazón Valiente
But here's the catch: it's difficult to find the Spanish-language content on Peacock TV. So how do you find it?
In the Home section, you'll have to scroll down 16 lines to find Featured Brands, and there is where you'll find the Telemundo button. Or scroll down even further to find the Tplus Featured Collection.
To find the movies, scroll all the way to the bottom of the Movies section to find them.
But on the upside, you can stream men's and women's soccer matches broadcasted in Spanish, and you can watch three Spanish channels with Peacock TV (Peacock Nation, Casa Cerrado, y Telemundo Al Día).

Methodology
To find the best streaming services for Spanish speakers, we evaluated the following:
- Quantity of Spanish channels and content
- Quality of Spanish channels and content
- Monthly price
- The simplicity of finding Spanish-language content on service
First, we determined how many Spanish channels and on-demand titles each service offers. Next, we evaluated if the service had quality content. Ya know, the content we actually want to watch on a Friday night with snacks or with the family after a long day of work and school.
Then, we evaluated the pricing to see if it was justified for what the streaming service offered. And we find it very important for streaming services to make it simple for users to find the content they desire.
