Paramount Plus for free: How to get Paramount+ with Sky Cinema at no extra cost

After a long wait, Paramount+ is finally available in the UK and you can stream it for free with a Sky Cinema subscription

Paramount+ has finally launched in the UK and the streaming service is the home of various iconic shows, movies and documentaries.

Whilst Paramount Plus has been accessible in the United States for some years, this is the first time it is available to Brits.

The streaming service is the latest to challenge established rivals like Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Disney+.

It unlocks a whole host of original shows, including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and the new Halo TV series, as well as films like Mission: Impossible – Fallout and Scream.

A Paramount+ subscription costs £6.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for most customers. However, Sky Cinema subscribers with Sky Glass or Sky Q are able to sign up for the streaming platform for free.

Here's everything you need to know about signing up for Paramount+ as well as what to expect.

How to watch Paramount+ for free

Right now, Brits can get a seven-day free trial for Paramount Plus, however there's another way to watch it without paying a penny.

Thanks to a new partnership with Paramount+ and Sky, those with a Sky Cinema subscription will be able to view all Paramount Plus shows and movies on Sky Q or Sky Glass for no extra cost.

At just £11, the impressive package deal includes access to all authentic boxsets, blockbusters and documentaries included in a Paramount+ subscription.

Sadly, the Sky Cinema bundle does not apply to NOW subscribers who already have a Sky Cinema membership.

What to expect

Paramount+ is the host of multiple original shows that have already premiered on the streaming platform in other nations, including the new Halo TV series based on the iconic Xbox video game.

It's not all about TV shows though, as Paramount+ also provides access to some of the biggest blockbusters, such as recent horror movie hit Scream, which will debut on the streaming platform very soon.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which was released in UK cinemas on April 1, will also be included in a Paramount+ subscription at some point as well.

UK Paramount+ viewers can also expect Top Gun: Maverick later this year along with Clifford the Big Red Dog, The Lost City, and classic movies like School of Rock, Grease, Star Trek (2009), Mean Girls, Pulp Fiction, and Flashdance.
