There are dozens of streaming services out there right now, but Paramount Plus is the go-to for CBS shows, Nickelodeon cartoons, live NFL games, and more. It gets even better when you bundle it with Showtime, which adds even more movies and shows to your library. And right now, this big Black Friday Paramount Plus deal can help you save money on all of it.
From now through December 3, new and returning subscribers can sign up for three months of Paramount Plus Essential for only $2 a month, or Paramount Plus with Showtime for only $4 a month. That comes out to a total of $6 for three months of the ad-supported Essential plan, or $12 for three months of the ad-free Showtime plan — that's a 67% discount, and a steal for the amount of content Paramount Plus offers.
This deal means you can snag three months of either Paramount Plus plan for the cost of only one. Once the three months are up, though, Paramount Plus will automatically renew you at full price, so cancel before then if you don't want to pay.
Paramount Plus discounts aren't common. It usually takes a major deal holiday like Black Friday, or the occasional anniversary to make something like this promo crop up. If you've been waiting to subscribe, now is the time.
Paramount Plus isn't the only streaming service dropping its prices for the holidays — check out our guide to the best Black Friday streaming deals to find them all. We're also rounding up the biggest discounts across other product categories in our full Black Friday deals guide.
Is Paramount Plus worth it?
With so many streaming services, it's not easy to commit to paying another monthly subscription. This Paramount Plus Black Friday deal makes subscribing a no-brainer if you're even slightly interested in trying the service, but we think Paramount Plus is a worthy streaming option at full price.
Paramount Plus stands out because it's home to many ViacomCBS programs you can't find elsewhere, including shows from CBS, BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV, and more. Beloved series like "Survivor," "NCIS," "CSI," and "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" all live there. You can also stream live NFL games that air in your local CBS market. Paramount Plus also has a healthy assortment of original shows, including popular "Yellowstone" spinoffs and hits like "Star Trek: Discovery." The service even lets you stream new Paramount movies after they play in theaters.
Even without this deal, Paramount Plus is relatively affordable at a regular price of $6 a month for the ad-supported Essential plan or $12 a month for the ad-free Paramount Plus with Showtime plan. In addition to Showtime, the top-tier plan also adds live streaming access to your local CBS station.
