Looking for more shows like Billions, Your Honor, or Dexter? Luckily there's a Showtime free trial to help you find your new favorite series. Showtime started as a popular TV network and then established its own streaming service so you could watch its content cable-free. Now, it’s found a permanent home under Paramount+ in a bundle that gives you both services.
Read on to learn all about how you can get access to Showtime for free.
How long is Showtime’s free trial?
Showtime is now available through Paramount+ with the Paramount+ w/ Showtime subscription tier. With this subscription, you get a 7-day free trial. That’s a week to explore all that Showtime and Paramount+ have to offer.
But this isn’t the only way you can get access to a Showtime free trial. If you get Showtime as an add-on to other streaming services, like Amazon Prime or Hulu, free trial periods will look a little different.
How to watch Showtime on Amazon Prime
If you get Paramount+ as an add-on through your Amazon Prime account, you’ll get free access to Showtime for 7 days. Make sure to choose the Paramount+ with Showtime plan when purchasing the add-on.
How to watch Showtime on Hulu
You can use Showtime as an add-on service to your Hulu plan. If you’re a new subscriber to Hulu, you’ll get a 30 day free trial, which extends to your Showtime add-on as well.
How to sign up for Showtime’s free trial?
You can get access to Paramount+ with Showtime’s free trial in just a few easy steps:
1. Navigate to the Paramount+ website and click “Try it free”
2. Pick the Paramount+ with Showtime plan
You can choose to pay monthly or annually.
3. Create a Paramount+ account
4. Enter your payment information (you won’t be charged until after the trial period ends)
5. Enjoy!
How much is Showtime after a free trial?
Paramount+ offers one plan with Showtime. With this plan, you get access to all Showtime and Paramount+ content, as well as no ads.
If you have Showtime as an add-on through other services,, prices may be slightly different.
What can you watch on Showtime?
Showtime has tons of acclaimed originals to sink your teeth into, like Yellowjackets, Billions, and The Chi, as well as their classic back catalog of network shows like Dexter, Homeland, and Shameless. Showtime also has movies spanning decades, from newer hits like Everything, Everywhere, All at Once to classics like Shindler’s List and Road House.
