Among the many great streaming services available, Paramount Plus is our go-to for CBS content, from classic TV shows to live NFL games. It's also available bundled with Showtime for one low cost, adding many more movies and original series to its library. And right now, you can snag big savings with this Black Friday Paramount Plus deal.

Now through December 3, new and eligible returning subscribers can get their first three months of Paramount Plus Essential for only $2 a month or Paramount Plus with Showtime for only $4 a month. That comes out to a total of $6 for three months of the ad-supported Essential plan or $12 for three months of the ad-free Showtime plan — a 67% discount.

With this deal, you get three months of either Paramount Plus plan for the cost of one. After your three-month promotional period, the service will automatically renew at full price, but you can cancel anytime.

Paramount Plus discounts aren't common. It usually takes a major deal holiday, like Black Friday, or the occasional anniversary to make something like this promo crop up. This sale is a can't-miss opportunity, especially if you've been looking to subscribe.

Is Paramount Plus worth it?

With so many streaming services, it's not easy to commit to paying another monthly subscription. This Paramount Plus Black Friday deal makes subscribing a no-brainer if you're even slightly interested in trying the service, but we think Paramount Plus is a worthy streaming option at full price.

Paramount Plus stands out because it's home to many ViacomCBS programs you can't find elsewhere, including shows from CBS, BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV, and more. Beloved series like "Survivor," "NCIS," "CSI," and "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" all live there. You can also stream live NFL games that air in your local CBS market. Paramount Plus also has a healthy assortment of original shows, including popular "Yellowstone" spinoffs and hits like "Star Trek: Discovery." The service even lets you stream new Paramount movies after they play in theaters. 

Even without this deal, Paramount Plus is relatively affordable at a regular price of $6 a month for the ad-supported Essential plan or $12 a month for the ad-free Paramount Plus with Showtime plan. In addition to Showtime, the top-tier plan also adds live streaming access to your local CBS station.
