FAQs

There are now a few early Black Friday deals on Paramount Plus — they're few and far between, and only available in the UK so far, but it's something. And as Black Friday gets nearer, the odds of a US Black Friday deal (or multiple) gets more likely.

Loads of different streaming services see discounts for Black Friday, and historically Paramount Plus has been one of them. The streaming service, formerly CBS All Access, is the streaming home of everything made by Paramount-owned studios and channels. The company owns massive franchises like Star Trek, Mission Impossible and the programming in the Taylor Sheridan-verse, and is popular for fans of these as well as the Paramount Plus free trials which are on offer.

But what about the discounts? Black Friday 2024 falls on Friday, November 29 this year, though over the last few years the sales have grown to envelope the week prior and a few days afterwards too. Fans of movies and TV shows will see loads of deals on things they want like TVs, soundbars, DVD box sets, gifts… and perhaps Paramount Plus too?

This might not be news to you if you’re looking for a Paramount Plus Black Friday deal though — you instead want to know whether you can save money on the streaming service. With Black Friday still quite a ways out, we can’t say for sure just yet, but we can make some predictions based on precedent. So let's take a look as to whether there will be a Paramount Plus deal over Black Friday.

What you need to know about Paramount plus Black Friday deals

Will there be a Black Friday deal on Paramount Plus subscriptions?

In the last few years, Paramount Plus has remained one of the reliable streaming services when it comes to Black Friday deals. In the UK, the Black Friday deal ahs begun already but we're still waiting for US news.

Over Black Friday last year, the basic-level Paramount Plus plan was reduced to $1.99 for your first three months (down from $5.99 normally). The previous year, the deal was even better with 50% offered off the annual prices of the two different subscription tiers.

Due to that changing offer between the years, it’s hard to predict exactly what deal we’ll see on a Paramount Plus subscription — at other times of the year the streamer has offered an extended free trial period, so that’s another option we could see.

But other than the style of deal itself, I feel confident saying that there will probably be a Black Friday deal on Paramount Plus.

When could the Paramount Plus deal begin and end for Black Friday?

Paramount Plus was one of the first streamers to get a Black Friday deal last year. So could that happen again this year?

The Black Friday Paramount Plus deal last year began on Monday, November 20, one day before most others and at the beginning of the week that Black Friday ends.

That day in 2024 would be Monday, November 25, so maybe we'll see a discount begin on this day.

The deal also ran longer than its rivals, as it was up for grabs until Sunday, December 3, over a week after Black Friday. Judging by that precedent, we could see a Black Friday 2024 deal run all the way until Sunday, December 8.

Remember that this is all guesswork.

Will there be more Black Friday Paramount deals?

Disregarding for a moment the prospect of a Black Friday deal on Paramount Plus, many might be wondering whether the company will do discounts on other items.

Due to it owning many beloved franchises, people could be hoping to find deals on things like DVDs, collectibles, decorations or clothing done by Paramount.

Luckily such items will be in supply, and will probably see lots of discounts too — Black Friday encompasses sales in many different markets. DVDs and Blu-Rays are certainly a commonly-reduced item, especially for box sets, but toys, video games, clothes and basically everything else you could envisage will probably be just as reduced.

How much does Paramount Plus cost?

Without deals or discounts, how much do you normally have to pay for Paramount Plus?

Depending on where you live, there's either one or two tiers of Paramount Plus.

The cheapest tier will cost you $7.99 / £6.99 per month or $59.99 / £69.90 per month. In the US this gets you commercials while elsewhere, including the UK, it's ad-free.

The US also has a Paramount Plus with Showtime tier which costs $12.99 monthly. It lets you stream your movies and TV shows ad-free and also includes lots of Showtime-made content.

How else can you save on Paramount Plus?

I'm glad you asked!

In somewhat of a throwback, there's a Paramount Plus free trial. That's right, the streamer is one of the few still offering limited-time testing period.

The Paramount Plus free trial lets you stream for 7 days before paying, but the service is also available as a Prime Video channel, which offers a separate 7-day trial. So you can get up to 14 days without paying if you're smart about it.
