After months of waiting, UK viewers are finally able to sign up for Paramount+ – the home of multiple live-action Star Trek TV shows and the new Halo series, as well as films like Mission: Impossible – Fallout and Scream.
Paramount+ costs £6.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for most people. However, if you are already a Sky Cinema customer on Sky Glass or Sky Q, then you can sign up for the streaming platform for free.
Here is how to sign up for Paramount+ for free via Sky – you can also check out our guide to watching Paramount+ from anywhere in the world.

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.
