Retail giant Walmart and media company Paramount today announced that the companies have made a deal: Starting in September, subscribers to the Walmart+ shopping service will be given access to the Paramount+ streaming service at no extra cost.
CBS Essentials and Paramount+ are both subsidiaries of Paramount.
Top products in this article:
Walmart+ subscription: $12.95 per month or $98 per year
Paramount+ subscription: $5 and up per month
Walmart+ members will be given free access to the ad-supported Paramount+ Essential plan. Paramount+ Essential includes tens of thousands of movies and TV episodes, including “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” “Yellowstone” spin-off “1883,” “Star Trek: Below Decks,” “NCIS” and “Survivor.” Essential plan members also get access to NFL on CBS live.
Paramount+ Essential normally costs $4.99 per month, or $49.99 per year.
An ad-free, Premium tier of Paramount+ is also available. It includes the ability to watch your local CBS station live, though not as part of Walmart+. That plan costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. You can sign up through Paramount via the link below.
What is Walmart+?
Walmart+ was launched in 2020 to compete with Amazon Prime. Like Amazon Prime, Walmart+ offers members free two-day delivery on most purchases, plus free same-day delivery of grocery items with a $35 order minimum. Both memberships also offer access to exclusive sale pricing on certain items during members-only sales events, such as Amazon Prime Day and Walmart Plus Weekend, respectively.
Along with the news that Walmart+ subscribers will have access to Paramount+, you should know that both shopping services offer a streaming benefit as well. (Amazon Prime Members have access to Amazon Prime Video.)
There are also handful of benefits that are unique to the Walmart+ subscription. Walmart+ members get a 10-cent-per-gallon discount on gasoline at more than 14,000 Exxon, Mobil, Walmart and Murphy stations. Walmart+ members can also fuel up at Sam’s Club fuel centers and get member pricing.

The action-packed series follows Master Chief, a super-soldier trained to battle an alien group known as the Covenant. But when Master Chief has to scrutinize his own humanity, everything changes.

More than 35 years since his character’s debut in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” Sir Patrick Stewart returns as Jean-Luc Picard for season two of “Star Trek: Picard.” The first season takes place 20 years after the events of “Star Trek: Nemesis.” Picard is retired from Starfleet and grieving the loss of Data when he receives a visit from a synthetic being who leads him into the next chapter of his life.
The second season picks up a year after events of the first, and fans will be glad to know that the show has already been renewed for season three. Stewart stars alongside Alison Pill and Michelle Hurd in season two of “Star Trek: Picard,” now streaming.
