How to Cancel CuriosityStream (And Whether You Actually Should) — 2026 Guide

Updated February 2026 • 4 min read

Easy to cancel. No phone call needed, no retention maze. Takes about 60 seconds.

CuriosityStream is a documentary streaming service founded by John Hendricks (the guy who started Discovery Channel). At $2.99/month, it is the cheapest streaming service on the market — but if you have not watched anything on it in months, even $3/month is wasted money. Here is how to cancel and whether you should.

Should You Cancel? The Math

Before going through cancellation, ask yourself one question: Have you watched anything on CuriosityStream in the last 30 days?
