Two months of Paramount+ is down to only $2 right now
But the kicker for this deal is that is applies to two subscription tiers: you can either choose the ad-supported Essential plan or the ad-free Premium plan and the deal price remains the same. That means new subscribers will save $14 on the standard price of the Essential tier, or $24 on the price of the Premium plan.
This deal also works for the Essential plan. $2 at Paramount
Paramount+ is a decent service and made our list of the best streaming platforms. It started as a home for all things Star Trek, but that particular bonus is shrinking all of the time. It was recently announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end after a truncated season five, leaving just the forthcoming Starfleet Academy . The third season of Strange New Worlds premieres on July 17.
It also hosts original programming like the Sonic-adjacent Knuckles TV show and the dad-friendly Tulsa King . Paramount owns CBS, so subscribers can also access much of that network's programming. This includes stuff like The Amazing Rac e, Blue Bloods and several CSI entries.
This offer will be available until July 13. There's just one caveat. Subscriptions will auto-renew if you forget to cancel. Set a reminder to kick in at the end of the second month.

Charlamagne tha God lauds book reveal, shares skepticism about Harris in 2028
Charlamagne tha God shared skepticism on the possibility of another White House bid from former Vice President Harris on Thursday but encouraged her to connect with people by publishing a book. 'I don't know if she should run again, but I definitely would like to see her write a book. I definitely would like to see her start a podcast and just build a real connection with people,' Charlamagne said during a Thursday episode of 'The Breakfast Club.' 'And she is relatively young. I just don't know what's going to happen in 2028, man. I just think Democrats suck so bad. I don't know,' he added. Some have speculated Harris is planning to enter the presidential race in 2028, where her Democratic opponents could range from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. 'I think Kamala can definitely be a leader in the Democratic Party. And I mean, I think the interesting thing about the former VP is I kind of like that strategy,' Charlamagne told listeners. On Wednesday, Harris announced she would not launch a bid for governor in the Golden State. However, she also promoted her new book ' 107 Days,' focused on the behind-the-scenes of the campaign trail she undertook months after former President Biden dropped out of the race. In the past, Charlamagne lauded Harris for reviving a ' dead ' campaign but said President Trump captured audiences and spoke to voter grievances better. Harris is expected to give her first formal post-election remarks in a Thursday interview on 'The Late Show' with Stephen Colbert. Colbert, whose show is ending next year, has been critical of both Trump and his network CBS's parent company, Paramount, in a lawsuit Trump brought against '60 Minutes' over its editing of an interview with Harris.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Video: Paul Wesley Calls This Week's Shatner-Esque Performance ‘A Wink to the True Fans' — Watch
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Thursday's . This week's Star Trek: Strange New Worlds introduced us to the cast of a fictional 1960s sci-fi TV show… and the star of that show sounded very familiar. More from TVLine The Challenge Premiere: Cara Maria Sorbello Breaks Down That 'Wild' First Challenge, Why [Spoiler] Was Eliminated Leanne Morgan Tees Up Her Netflix Comedy From EP Chuck Lorre, Reveals How Her Real-Life Husband Feels About TV Hubby Ryan Stiles The Challenge 41's Cara Maria Sorbello Names the One 'New Threat' Who Was 'Built for Destruction' Paul Wesley — who plays James T. Kirk on Strange New Worlds — played frustrated actor Maxwell Saint, the star of the very Trek-like TV show The Last Frontier, and Saint's preening, halting delivery was quite reminiscent of William Shatner's infamous acting style on the original Star Trek series. (Any Trekkie would recognize that cadence anywhere.) Wesley's Kirk is generally a different, more grounded take than Shatner's was, but when Wesley read this week's script, 'I realized immediately what an opportunity it was to give the viewers a satirical, more humorous version of what I could have done,' Wesley tells TVLine in the video above. He lists 'the pause in the cadence,' 'the gesturing' and the 'Shakespearean elements' as hallmarks of the 'James T. Kirk that we all know from the '60s. And I thought, 'Well, here it is. Let me do it for you now.' And I had an absolute blast doing it… I didn't want to overdo it, but I also wanted to do enough where it was a wink to the true fans.' Speaking of overdoing it, Wesley admits with a laugh that he had to dial back the Shatner-isms at times: 'We did, obviously, a bunch of takes. And so there were variations in the pauses, where the pause is like, 'Is he gonna say his next line?' And then we settled on sort of the moderate one.' The Last Frontier's flimsy sets and rubber-masked aliens were a tribute to the analog glories of the original Trek, too, Wesley adds: 'If you watch [the original Star Trek], the Gorn episode, for example [Season 1's 'Arena'], they're throwing Styrofoam rocks at each other, right?… Obviously, in the '60s, they didn't have special effects or VFX, and they couldn't digitize things, and so we wanted to have fun with making the sets so clearly a set, and just sort of like that absurdity, yet imagination and beauty, of something that is a 1960s futuristic set for television.' So Trekkies, what'd you think of Wesley's… … … performance? Beam down to the comments to give us your thoughts on this week's episode.

Trump's Ominous Prediction in Searing Stephen Colbert Rant
Donald Trump tore into 'lack of talent' Stephen Colbert in a seething rant where he denied involvement of The Late Show's cancelation and warned 'the other two' are next. The president wrote on Truth Social Tuesday that ratings for the late-night shows dictate their hosts' futures, claiming that the outlook for Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon didn't look good, either. 'Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true!' Trump wrote. 'The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!' CBS executives said in a statement announcing the cancellation of The Late Show that their decision was a financial one. They also rejected arguments that it had anything to do with CBS' parent company, Paramount, being on the verge of an acquisition by Skydance —one which the Federal Communications Commission had to approve. Colbert, who had called Paramount's settlement with Trump over a 60 Minutes segment on Kamala Harris a 'big fat bribe,' would soon be followed out the door by his peers on ABC and NBC, Trump said. 'Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon. The only real question is, who will go first?' he wondered. 'Show Biz and Television is a very simple business,' added the former Apprentice fixture. 'If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don't, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow.' Kimmel shot back later on Instagram, bringing attention back to the president's relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 'I know you're busy Sharpie-ing the Epstein files, but this seems like a weird way to tell people to watch Matt Damon and Ken Jennings on an all-new Who Wants to Be a Millionaire tomorrow night at 8|7c on @ABC,' he joked. Following The Late Show's cancellation, Kimmel criticized the network on the same platform: 'F--- you and all your Sheldons, CBS.' Meanwhile, Fallon said he was 'shocked' by the news. A week ago, Trump was on Truth Social treating the notion of their departures as almost inevitable. In that post, though, he wanted credit: 'I hope I played a major part in it!' Ratings-wise, Colbert's show bested Kimmel and Fallon during the second quarter of this year, with 2.4 million viewers compared to 1.8 million and 1.2 million, respectively—not a good sign for the pair, if Trump is correct.
