FREE Trial of Paramount+ (Watch the new Red Alert mini-series about October 7)

Posted on October 8, 2025 by Mara Strom

Disclosure Statement

Right now, you can snag a FREE one-week trial of Paramount Plus.

Here’s how this works:

  • Head over to Paramount+
  • Click ‘Try It Free’ blue button
  • Choose your plan – either the Essential or Premium (ad-free, except live TV)
  • Create an account with your email and password you create

Paramount+ is home to the new four-part series Red Alert. This miniseries is a dramatic account of October 7th (based on the true stories of civilians, police and soldiers), and it’s showing simultaneously in Israel, where it is getting critical reviews.

I know Red Alert will be difficult to watch, but I think it’s so important to see it if you can. Given the current “climate”, I’m also really pleased that Paramount+ hasn’t backed off airing this important series — and I think they deserve our support for that.

In addition to Red Alert, Paramount+ is of course great for watching all your favorite reality shows, dramas, comedies, movies and live sports including the NFL

You can use your free trial of Paramount Plus on up to three devices — and create separate profiles for each family member.

Note: After your free trial ends, your subscription will automatically renew at $7.99 per month (or $59.99 per year) on the Essential plan or $12.99 per month (or $199.99 per year) on the Premium plan. You may cancel you subscription at any time — be sure to set a reminder for yourself so you can decide how you would like to proceed.

    Is there a way to start it at a later date?

      Unfortunately not. The latest would be the end of June (if you want to wait a few days to sign up).

      They may extend the offer into July, but until now it’s only been 7 days normally.

    I tried on November 26th and it is only offering me the 7 day trial, not the 30 day. It tells me my trial will end Dec 3rd.

      Try clearing your cookies or using a different browser. It’s definitely a 30 day trial! It should say “Stream the NFL on CBS, Star Trek: Discovery & more for 1 month FREE. Offer ends 11/29/21.” Let me know if that helps!
