Both plans include tens of thousands of TV shows and films.
The deal is currently available to both new and returning subscribers and is only available until Cyber Monday –29 November 2021. All you need to do issign up on the Paramount+ website– no promo code required. After the month trial is up, the subscription will renew at the standard price of whichever plan you’ve chosen.

The service used to have a month free trial when it first launched but has not offered it in a while.
Paramount Plus is currently the home for shows such asStar Trek: Lower Decks, the Rugrats reboot and The Twilight Zone. There are also many films to stream, including A Quiet Place: Part II, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Sonic the Hedgehog and Skyfall.
Live news and sports are also covered with Paramount Plus, with the NFL, college football, the Champions League, 24/7 CBSN news and more.
Whilst Paramount Plus is exclusive to the US, international viewers (including those in the UK) can use a VPN such asNordVPNorSurfsharkand a digital gift card to sign up – you can see further details in our guide towatching Paramount Plus from abroad.
This will be welcome news to Star Trek fans in the UK and abroad, asStar Trek: Discoverywas recently taken off Netflix and moved exclusively over to Paramount Plus. Whilst the service is available in other countries across the world, it won’t be coming to the UK until next year – and even then, it will only be available via Sky.
With this Black Friday deal, viewers can tune in to the next few episodes of Star Trek: Discovery without having to pay anything for a month, and only covering the cost of a VPN.
