SAVE $12: Paramount+ with Showtime is 50% off for your first two months, but you have to act fast. The deal is only valid today, July 17.

Save 50% on your first two months

If you've been wanting to watch Showtime hits like The Curse and Yellowjackets or Paramount+ originals like Criminal Minds Evolution or Evil (the best show you're not watching), now's your chance to do it on a budget. For an extremely limited time — like, today only — you can sign up for Paramount+ with Showtime for 50% off for two months.

Usually, Paramount+ with Showtime costs $11.99 per month, but on July 17, you can sign up for just $5.99 for your first two months. That's the same price as the Paramount+ Essential tier, which doesn't allow you to watch Showtime hits or your local CBS station live. Plus, it's ad-free. In other words, it's a total steal.

Sure, you'll have to pay full price once your first two months are up, but you can watch a whole lot of stuff before then. It's up to you whether you want to keep things rolling at the full cost per month after that, or cancel altogether. You could also downgrade to the Essential tier and keep paying the same price (although you'll lose access to Showtime and your live local station). It's also worth noting that the price for the Showtime plan is expected to increase to $12.99 per month at the end of August, making this even more of an incentive to grab the deal. Stream as much as you can before the inevitable price hike.
