Praise Beyonce Pad Thai, Hulu is going commercial free just in time for The Mindy Project to arrive! The streaming service announced fans can pay $11.99 a month for ad-free Hulu. COMMERCIAL. FREE. FINALLY.

Hulu is keeping the $7.99 option for "limited commercials."

"At Hulu, we pride ourselves on listening to our customers and giving them the best possible experience," Mike Hopkins, CEO of Hulu, said in a statement. "Many of our customers have asked us for a commercial free option, and so today we are excited to introduce just that. Providing more choice for consumers is fundamental to the Hulu experience, in addition to an array of choices in content and devices, our customers can now choose to watch with or without commercials."

Hulu has added a lot of new and original programming to its streaming slate recently. In addition to The Mindy Project's fourth season (premiering Tuesday, Sept. 15), Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner's Difficult People and Jason Reitman's Casual all call Hulu home. Hulu also has the streaming rights to Seinfeld, Empire, Fargo, CSI, South Park and more. Users can also get Showtime for $8.99 through Hulu. Coming up for Hulu: James Franco in J.J. Abrams' 11/22/63 based on the Stephen King story, Jason Katims' new drama starring Aaron Paul and Michelle Monaghan.

Will you cough up the $12 to get no ads on Hulu?
