It's a nice deal for the ad-supported Essential plan, normally priced at $7.99, but an even better one for the ad-free Premium plan, which normally costs $12.99 each month. It's one of the only Black Friday streaming deals that applies to an ad-free subscription, even if it only lasts for a couple of months.
The other benefit of going with the Premium plan is you’ll get access to the Showtime library. I see no reason not to go with the Premium plan, as long as you remember that your plan will auto-renew at $12.99 each month after the deal ends.
What’s on Paramount+?
The new season(s) of South Park are streaming exclusively on Paramount+, so you can catch up on all of the drama happening there without scrolling through Twitter (sorry, X). It’s also the streaming home for Nickelodeon, where classic cartoons like SpongeBob, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Fairly OddParents live.
On the movie side, Paramount+ is home to big franchises like Mission Impossible, Transformers, and Star Trek, and also includes some recent additions include Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Smile 2, and Gladiator 2. With the Paramount+ Premium plan, also get access to the Showtime library, which includes otherwise hard-to-find series like Yellowjackets and Dexter: Resurrection.
