Get two months of Paramount+ Essential or Premium for only $2
This is not just any old discount. It applies to both the ad-supported Essential plan and the ad-free Premium subscription. This saves new users $14 for Essential and a whopping $24 for Premium over two months. I suggest going with Premium because ads suck and you can always downgrade or cancel later once the regular price kicks in.
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.

Prepare to Celebrate 60 Years of ‘Star Trek' With Nacelle's Nostalgic Figures
Star Trek turns 60 next year, and the franchise is preparing to celebrate in style, especially with a brand new show on the way in Starfleet Academy. But outside of streaming, you'll be able to celebrate in style with Nacelle's new line of Star Trek action figures, which will dedicate a whole wave to the original series next year—and io9 has your first up-close look at one of them. As previously (and exclusively) revealed by io9 this past Friday, the third wave of Nacelle's Star Trek line is set to release in 2026. While Nacelle made waves announcing its Trek line by eschewing the typical process of making a Captain Picard and Captain Kirk and then calling it a day—with wave one including an eclectic mix of deep-cut characters, from Tuvix, to Weyoun, to Admiral Jellico—wave 3 of the series will buck that trend and go all in on the original Trek as an anniversary celebration. All the main crew and then some will be part of the wave, including Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Chekov, Sulu, Doctor McCoy, Nurse Chapel, Yeoman Rand, and a mystery two-pack being kept under wraps. And, of course, that lineup wouldn't be complete without Enterprise's premiere xenolinguist and communications officer, Nyota Uhura, who you can see below in all her action figure render glory, teased at SDCC during Nacelle's panel, but making its online debut here on io9! As you can see, at least one of Uhura's accessories will be a classic phaser rifle—but you can expect her to come with a few more, based on Nacelle's plans for their other Trek figures. We'll at least need a separate teeny-tiny communication earpiece, or an alternate head of her using it, for sure! Wave 3 of Nacelle's Star Trek line is expected to launch some time in 2026. However, if you're like me and yearn to own a Weyoun action figure, you can preorder wave 1 now, due for release in late 2025. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

Joe Rogan Responds to South Park's Mocking of Trump: 'Hilarious'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Podcaster Joe Rogan responded to the Season 27 premiere of South Park, which mocked President Donald Trump, during a recent episode of his podcast, describing it as "hilarious" and saying it is "the greatest show of all time." Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Rogan via email for comment outside of regular working hours. Why It Matters Rogan endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election, interviewing him on his podcast and later attending his inauguration.

Right, guests attend Paramount+'s South Park in San Diego event during 2025 San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, 2025. Saul Loeb - Pool/Getty Images/for Paramount+ Rogan has recently joined a cacophony of angry voices who have spoken out against Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department's handling of its findings from the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump's fan base has been in revolt since the DOJ released a two-page memo earlier this month, which said they had found "no incriminating 'client list'" after an "exhaustive review" of government documents related to the case. What To Know During Friday's episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan was joined by Mike Baker, and they discussed the Trump administration's handling of documents relating to Epstein. While they were discussing the "chaos" of current politics, Rogan brought up the South Park episode. The episode titled "Sermon on the Mount" depicts Trump in bed with Satan, complaining about the size of his penis, and arguing with the Canadian prime minister. The episode also referenced the "Epstein list," the alleged list of clients involved in convicted sex offender Epstein's sex trafficking operation. "There's so much chaos, there's so much madness," Rogan said, before asking Baker if he had seen the South Park episode. "They did a Donald Trump on with Satan." "It's f****** hilarious," he said. "They haven't given a f*** since the beginning, and it's the greatest show of all time," Rogan said. South Park's creators took the stage at Comic-Con in California shortly after the episode—and the ensuing slew of headlines about it—aired. The two were asked by panel moderator Josh Horowitz if they had been following the reaction to the show. Parker jokingly responded: "We're terribly sorry." What People Are Saying White House Spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone on Thursday morning that South Park: "Hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history—and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak." What's Next The Season 27 premiere of South Park came after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus of the show, and came a day after the show's creators Parker and Stone had reached a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount. They signed a reported $900 million deal to extend South Park to Season 30, which should take the show up to 2027. The 26th season featured six episodes, so this season may take a similar format.
