Given the sheer range of streaming services available and varying subscription prices, it can be hard to choose just one to invest in every month but this Paramount Plus deal might change your mind. With the streamer planning to hike up prices again for all new sign-ups on August 20, you might be hesitant to get a subscription, but thankfully now is an ideal time to get year-long access to the service for a fraction of the usual price.
This is because Paramount is offering new and returning subscribers 50% off its Paramount Plus with Showtime plan, which makes the annual ad-free plan now $59.99 instead of $119.99, until July 14. That is approximately $5 a month, rather than the new monthly rate of $12.99.
There’s only three days left to claim this offer, so you don’t have long before this deal expires. Not sure whether it’s worth getting 50% off one of the best streaming services? Here are five of the best Paramount Plus shows with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes that might help you make your decision.
