All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

The best way to test out Paramount+ is with a free trial to the streaming service. You’d want to see if it’s a good fit before you commit month-to-month, or annually. The service is the home to hit originals, like Halo, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and others, as well as hot music programming, such as Hip Hop Was Born Here, Behind the Music, From Cradle to Stage, Clive Davis: Most Iconic Performances and more.

Although the streaming service no longer offers a free trial directly, we spotted a clever workaround to get Paramount+ for free.

You can get Paramount+ for free, as a Prime Video add-on channel. The streamer has a seven-day free trial to give the Paramount+ Premium plan a test drive before you commit to the service. Just add Paramount+ Premium to Prime Video and you’re all set to watch for free.
