Paramount Plus is 50% off the first month when you get your subscription via Sling TV. While we're struggling to find many Prime Day streaming deals this time round, and this offer isn't strictly that, it does allow you to watch a variety of sci-fi favorites for less.

Get 50% off your first month of Paramount Plus when you get it via Sling TV.

If you're a trekkie, this is the deal for you. Paramount Plus is the home to a Starship load of Star Trek content including The Original series, The Next Generation, Strange New Worlds, Picard, Discovery, The Kelvin Timeline and the original movies plus a lot more. If you're hoping to strap in and beam up Star Trek and you want to save in the process, this is the deal for you. Amazon Prime Day is here October 8-9 and Prime Day streaming deals are always popular. This isn't technically an early Prime Day streaming deal but it is one of the best streaming deals we can find ahead of the sales event.
