A year of Paramount Plus with Showtime is half off ahead of its impending price hike

With a Paramount Plus price hike coming on August 20th, now might be a good time to secure a year’s worth of access to the streaming service. Thankfully, Paramount is offering new and returning subscribers 50 percent off its Paramount Plus with Showtime plan, dropping the price of an annual ad-free plan to $59.99 (down from $119.99) until July 14th. That’s about $5 broken down monthly, as opposed to its forthcoming monthly rate of $12.99.

Paramount has steadily loaded its streaming coffers over the years with movies and shows from its film divisions, CBS networks, and more. Do you like planes, Tom Cruise, or a combination of both? Top Gun: Maverick should be your first stop if you haven’t already seen the modern take on dogfighting aviation. Trekkies will be in heaven with all of the Star Trek content available, from archives of the classic series to modern spinoffs like Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. You’ll also find ageless sketch comedies like Chappelle’s Show and Key & Peele, the whole Yellowstone catalog, and even reality shows like Jersey Shore if you’re still living in your Snooki era. You can also check out newer dramas like Evil, Mayor of Kingstown, and the polarizing Halo series.

The service also has live sports and news, including in-market NFL games, UEFA Champions League matches, and 24/7 access to whatever’s playing on your local CBS affiliate station. The Showtime component you’ll get adds a lot more with older fan favorites, such as Dexter, and newer series like The Chi and Yellowjackets. Paramount Plus hasn’t always been the most exciting streaming service, but its attractiveness has heightened in recent years, and today’s deal is the perfect opportunity to see why for yourself.
