After weeks of plugging increasingly inviting discounts, retailers in the U.S. and several other countries are preparing for prime time: Black Friday, the bargain bonanza that still reigns as the unofficial kickoff of the holiday shopping season even if it’s lost some luster.

You can also sign up for a 7-day free trial on Paramount Plus if you're a new subscriber. After that, your chosen subscription will take full effect with the Black Friday discount. Once the two months are over, your subscription will renew at full price.

Paramount Plus has enjoyed a solid year for shows. Sylvester Stallone's Tulsa King, Jon Hamm's explosive drama, Landman, and detective drama, Tracker, have all had good reviews and healthy audiences, while the reboots of Criminal Minds and Frasier have continued to delight their die-hard fanbases.
