How to get a Paramount Plus free trial in the UK
How to watch all of your favourite Paramount offerings without paying.
Paramount Plus entered the UK streaming world over a year ago and has since grown its content library to compete with established streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
With continual releases of original content and exclusive access to Hollywood blockbusters, they are fast becoming a desired destination for viewers to get their TV and film fix.
Among Paramount Plus's impressive library are original programmes including hits like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Yellowjackets, The Flatshare, The Killing Kind and the live-action series Halo.
They are also home to franchises such as Star Trek, Taylor Sheridan’s hit series Yellowstone and Special Ops: Lioness, as well as family-friendly productions such as Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants and Paw Patrol.
Paramount Plus's collection of films is also impressive, with recent releases like Babylon, No Escape, Top Gun: Maverick, Smile and the infamous Scream movies helping to bring in viewers to the platform.
Their most popular hits at the moment include the American dark comedy series The Curse, the fantasy adventure Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves and the thrilling political series Fellow Travelers.
As you might be able to tell Paramount Plus has a lot to offer and if you're tempted by a subscription then we have everything you need to know about a membership and how much it costs. And, for those of you who are scared of commitment, we explain how you can get a free trial before paying.
