It's coming up for two years since CBS All Access rebranded as Paramount Plus, home to both CBS and Paramount Pictures TV shows and movies, with 46 million subscribers as of February 2023. And unlike other streaming platforms that have done away with their free trial within the first six months, those after RuPaul and his All Star drag queens, or intergalactic entertainment with the Star Trek franchise can enjoy a Paramount Plus free trial right now.
