I can’t get enough of Paramount+. At just $7.99/month, I access an incredible library of ViacomCBS content, enjoy three live channels, and watch tons of live sports. The value is incredible, and right now I’m getting all of this for only $1.98 per month for three months.
But each Black Friday, Paramount Plus offers more. Last year, they provided a 50% discount on their annual plans of the Paramount+ standalone service as well as their Paramount+/Showtime bundle.
This year, the deal runs right through Cyber Monday and ends on Sunday, December 3rd.

Why Get Paramount+
You may think of Paramount+ as just a channel streaming service. That may have been true back in the CBS All Access days. But Paramount+ has become so much more than that. To start, it offers TV shows from various channels:
What’s On Paramount Plus?
It comes with a vast film library including all 6 Mission: Impossible and all 13 Star Trek films and blockbusters like the coming Top Gun: Maverick. And it includes lots of exclusive content like The Twilight Zone (with Jordan Peele — but Paramount+ also includes the original), the Sylvester Stallone series Tulsa King, and the science fiction Halo.
And then there’s the live content:
- Live NFL on CBS
- Live UEFA Europa and Champions League soccer
- Exclusive live channels: CBSN, CBS Sports HQ, and ET Live.
And if you go up to the Premium plan for $12.99/month, you get ad-free streaming of on-demand shows and movies as well as the live stream of your local CBS affiliate.
Showtime
Showtime used to be a Paramount+ add-on, but now it simply comes with Paramount+ Premium. It includes both the East Coast and West Coast feeds of Showtime. But mostly, it’s an on-demand streaming service with all the content that plays on all of Showtime’s 13 channels.
It offers a number of original shows like Billions, City on a Hill, Couples Therapy, and Shameless. And, of course, it offers a ton of movies that are constantly changing so you never get bored. Finally, Showtime is a great place for live sports — especially known for Bellator MMA and boxing matches.
Streaming Device Support from Paramount+
Both Paramount+ and Showtime support the vast majority of streaming devices currently in use.
These include Amazon Fire TV stick, Android mobile, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS (iPhone, iPad), PlayStation 4, Roku, and Xbox. They also supports smart TVs with Apple TV and from LG, Samsung, and VIZIO.
Paramount+ Black Friday Deal
Let’s start with the standard Paramount+ plans:
- Paramount+ Essential: Complete ad-supported content for $7.99/month
- Paramount+ Premium: Commercial-free for on-demand content, adds your local CBS affiliate, and provides Showtime for $12.99/month.
The prices are even lower when you sign up for the annual subscription.
Paramount Plus Black Friday Sale
The Paramount+ Black Friday deal saves you 67% on your first three months. And unlike some streaming services we will name, Hulu, this applies to all its plans, not just its basic one.
Get a load of these amazing monthly prices:
- Paramount+ Essential:
$7.99/month$1.98/mo - Paramount+ with Showtime:
$12.99/month$3.96/mo
Note that during this sale, Paramount+ will not be offering its 7-day free trial. But at $1.98/mo, it’s better.
What’s the downside? It is only available to new subscribers (and qualifying returning subscribers). That may not bother you but it has a couple of us at HotDog grumbling. You sign up because you’ve got to see Strange New Worlds, and a couple of months later, they’re almost giving the service away.
It’s okay. We won’t hold it against you. This may well be the best Black Friday deal this year. We know we won’t pass up this deal if we weren’t already subscribed.
Important Dates
This deal is only available through Sunday, December 4th. Don’t miss out.
Wrapping Up
Paramount+ is a great service. With the addition of Showtime in the Premium plan, it’s an unmatched streaming service — at least when it is offering this great deal. And with this limited-time Black Friday offer, it’s hard to resist.
