Paramount+ is the home of multiple live-action Star Trek TV shows and the live-action Halo series, as well as one of the biggest films of 2022, Top Gun: Maverick.
Paramount+ costs £6.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for most people. However, if you have Sky Cinema included in your Sky Glass, Sky Q or Sky Stream TV package, then you can sign up to the streaming platform for free.

Can you get Paramount+ for free with a Now subscription?
Unfortunately, no. If you have a Now Entertainment or Now Cinema Membership, this won’t also allow you to claim a free subscription to Paramount+. There are, however, a lot of Paramount owned movies available to stream on the Now library.
Membership costs start from £9.99 per month, and Now does have some bundles available for new customers.
