For two days only, however, new subscribers can score a special extended free trial that offers access to the entire Hulu library for a full two months.

For two days only this weekend, anyone with a Roku set-top box can extend their free Hulu trial period from one week to two months. The offer begins at 12:01 a.m PST on Saturday, June 27th, and it ends at 11:59 p.m. PST on Sunday, June 28th.
All you need to do to start the free two-month trial is open the Hulu app on your Roku box and sign up between the times noted above. You will have to enter a valid credit card to start the free trial, but you won’t be charged if you cancel by the end of your trial period.
