Paramount Plus is two dollars for two months of ad-free viewing

A poster showing the cast of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | Image: Paramount Paramount Plus is offering new and former subscribers a discounted rate until June 25th, 2026. You’ll pay 99 cents per month for the first two months, with the Premium plan automatically renewing for $13.99 per month after that, and the more limited Essential plan renewing for $8.99. Paramount Plus (two months) Now through June 25th, new and former subscribers can get a two-month subscription to Paramount Plus Essential (ad-supported) or Paramount Plus Premium (ad-free) for 99 cents per month. The deal saves you over $20 and includes access to a catalog of over 40,000 TV shows and movies, including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, The Naked Gun, South Park, and The Daily Show. Where to Buy: $8.99 $0.99 at Paramount Plus Essential (two months) $13.99 $0.99 at Paramount Plus Premium (two months) Both plans include some excellent shows, like Freaks and Geeks, Colin from Accounts, and South Park, and is one of the only places to find the majority of the Star Trek series — I know I’ll be spending two dollars to rewatch The Next Generation. You can also find new movies like the 2025 Naked Gun reboot, classics like Mean Girls, while both plans include access to live NFL games on CBS, UEFA Champions League matches, and Showtime Originals. The Essential plan only includes a subset of the Showtime Originals found on the Premium plan, is ad supported, and doesn’t allow for downloads or live CBS. window.HYPE_DESK_CONFIG = { productImageUrl: "https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/image1.png", productImageAlt: "CORSAIR Xeneon Edge LCD Touchscreen", productTitle: "CORSAIR Xeneon Edge LCD Touchscreen", shortDescription: "A second screen that actually earns its spot on your desk.", longDescription: "Your main monitor handles the heavy lifting.
