Paramount+ Subscription Guide: Free Trials, Coupon Codes, and Tiered Plans Explained

📅 May 27, 2026 02:20 ET ⏱ 4 min 👁 views GazetaDay Editorial

Once the most talked-about TV show in the country, *South Park*, is now available on Paramount+. The streaming network offers a bingeable TV series for almost everyone, including the much buzzed-about *South Park*, fan-favorite *Yellowstone*, original series *MobLand*, and rebooted crime drama *Dexter* & *Dexter* on Paramount+. Whether you want to remember Lindsay Lohan’s old face in the classic *Mean Girls* flick, or wonder just how many more sequels Tom Cruise has left in him with *Top Gun: Maverick*, there’s a bevy of films to stream, too. If you’re like me and have at least half a dozen streaming services, our Paramount+ coupon codes can help you save so you can watch the content you want without having to get rid of one of your other beloved content platforms.

Try Paramount+ Free With a One-Week Trial

If you’re unsure if you’ll actually want to commit to Paramount+, or if there’s a sports event like March Madness games and you only need to access the content for a little while, Paramount+’s free trial is a great option. The trial lasts one week, is for new subscribers only, and can’t be paired with other offers. There are tiered plans, including Essential, which allows for 3 devices, select Showtime series, National Football League games, and can be streamed on up to 3 devices at once, but has ads; and Premium, which includes all that except there are no ads, downloadable content, CBS live, and all of Showtime content.

Find the Right Paramount+ Plan Pricing and Get the Latest Deals

It’s important that you choose the right Paramount+ streaming plan for you so that you can get the best bang for your buck. Lucky for you, all plans come with a 7-day free trial so you can make sure you’re choosing the right plan for you. The first is Paramount+ Essential, which is $8 per month. It has ads included, but you’ll have access to over 40,000 episodes and movies. And you’ll be able to stream on 3 devices at once, be able to watch NFL games on CBS and UEFA Champions League, and select Showtime series are also available. Paramount+ Premium is the next tier (and the most popular choice), which starts at $13 per month (after the free trial ends), and you’ll get everything mentioned in the previous tier, without ads. You’ll have all that as well as the ability to watch in 4K Ultra High Definition, Dolby Vision or HDR10, downloadable movies and shows, streaming CBS live and all of Showtime’s content library.

Can You Cancel Paramount Plus at any Time?

If you find the service isn’t right for you, or just need to cut down on subscriptions, you can cancel Paramount+ any time. However, the cancellation process depends on where you signed up. If you signed up directly on the website, you’ll need to go to your account page.

Save on a Paramount+ Subscription With Student and Military Discounts

If you’re a student now (or have your student ID lying around somewhere), you can get a Paramount+ plan at only $4 a month. All you have to do is verify your student status and you’ll get 50% off any plan of your choosing for the first year. Or if you’re a military member, Paramount+ gives 50% off any subscription for life.

Watch Paramount+ Originals and Fan Favorites

There’s truly something for everyone in the family, with movies, kids’ shows, and Paramount+ originals included in every plan. If you’re feeling spooky, I’d recommend *Dexter: Resurrection*, or *Yellowjackets*, but if you’re looking for something more family-friendly, there’s super popular cartoons like *Rango* or *Sonic the Hedgehog* to choose from. Looking for specific recommendations? I’ve got you. There are tons of great new releases coming to Paramount+ this month, including *Landman* season 2, new Paramount+ original comedy series *Crutch* starring Tracy Morgan, and new episodes of (my favorite) newly premiered shows.
