Paramount Plus subscription: 30 days of free streaming with promo code: WEMISSYOU @ Paramount PlusParamount Plus typically offers new users a seven-day free trial, but for a limited time, it's extending that offer to a full 30 days of free streaming with either the Paramount Plus Essential or Premium plan. Use code: WEMISSYOU Typically, Paramount Plus limits new users to a 1-week free trial, but this promo code extends that trial period to a whole month. Just as with the 1-week trial, this promo code applies to both the Paramount Plus Essential tier and its newly rebranded Premium tier, formerly Paramount Plus with Showtime. Sign up for a Paramount Plus Essential or Premium plan, and enter the promo code "WEMISSYOU" at checkout to get 30 days of streaming for free. With a Paramount Plus subscription, you get access to an ever-growing library of originals, live sports, and 24/7 news coverage all at a very competitive price point. The $7.99/month Essential plan includes ads and excludes some local CBS live channels, but you'll still have access to popular originals, kids' programming, and on-demand entertainment. For a few bucks more, you can get Paramount Plus Premium at $12.99 a month, which adds Showtime's entire library, additional live sports coverage like March Madness and the PGA tour, and the option to stream in 4K, Dolby Vision, and HDR10 on select titles. You also won't have to sit through ads except during select live TV broadcasts. Paramount Plus offers plenty of original programming like the "Yellowstone" spin-off "1883," the critically acclaimed "MobLand" series starring Tom Hardy (which just got renewed for a second season), and tons of "Star Trek" spin-offs. There's also plenty for young viewers to enjoy with a whole selection of new and classic Nickelodeon shows, including the "iCarly" revival as well as every single episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants." Paramount Plus' movie library is worth shouting out as well, as the Premium tier gets you access to critically acclaimed new releases like "Love Me" and "Noah's Arc: The Movie." Paramount Plus also offers live sports, such as the NFL, The Masters, the PGA Tour, and the UEFA Champions League, and you also get access to your local CBS feed.

Netflix just lost 'Dexter' at the worst time — here's where you can stream it before 'Resurrection'
Even though Netflix didn't include "Dexter" on its list of what's leaving the streaming service this month, Showtime's hit crime drama has been quietly removed from the service (in the U.S). The much-loved series revolves around Michael C. Hall's titular vigilante serial killer, and originally ran for 96 episodes across 8 seasons between 2006 and 2013. Since then, it's endured in the streaming era as a bingeable fave, but disappeared from Netflix U.S on Thursday, June 19, precisely one year after it came to the streamer. While the series remains available in the U.K. (as of the time of writing), anyone mid-watch in the United States will now need to sign up for Paramount Plus if they want to continue watching. This change couldn't have come at a worse time, really, as longtime "Dexter" fans who might've been rewatching the original show on Netflix in time for "Dexter: Resurrection" will now have to switch services to do so. If you don't yet have a Paramount Plus subscription, now's the time to get one: "Dexter: Resurrection" is due to premiere there on Friday, July 11. To be clear, the original "Dexter" series is only available on the ad-supported Paramount Plus Essential plan ($7.99/month), but if you're hoping to dive into the new spin-off, you'll need access to Paramount Plus Premium (formerly Paramount Plus with Showtime). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Paramount Plus Premium costs $12.99/month. In addition to eliminating ads (except in live TV streaming), that extra $5/month nets you several other benefits. Premium customers can also download select shows and movies, stream local CBS channels, and, of course, get access to Showtime original programming, plus everything available on the cheaper tier. Taking place weeks after the previous sequel series, "Dexter: New Blood," finds Dexter Morgan waking up from a coma and heading to New York City in pursuit of his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott). He's determined to find Harrison and make things right... Though Dexter soon realizes that his past is catching up to him, fast, forcing the pair to navigate the darkness together. Check out the trailer below: If you've never seen an episode of "Dexter" before, there's an easy way to see whether you'd like it: Showtime previously uploaded the very first episode of the original series to YouTube, so you can see what's in store without spending a dime. If you're signed up already and are looking to make the most of your subscription, check out our rundown of the best shows and movies on Paramount Plus for our top streaming recommendations.

Paramount Plus with Showtime is dead — meet Paramount Plus Premium
The Showtime brand might finally be dead. Last year, Paramount killed the Showtime standalone streaming service, folding it into the Paramount Plus streaming service as Paramount Plus with Showtime. Now, we've learned that Paramount is changing that branding again. Starting today (Monday, June 23) at 12 p.m. ET, Paramount is rebranding the Paramount Plus with Showtime streaming service as Paramount Plus Premium. On the one hand, this isn't necessarily a big deal. The Showtime brand has largely been dead anyway, with only a few shows still being branded with the badge of Paramount's premium cable network. On the other hand, it could signal the end of the Showtime brand as a whole ahead of Paramount's tentative merger with Skydance, which is currently being held up by the Trump administration in the U.S. Either way, it will bring everything under the Paramount Plus brand when it comes to Paramount's streaming services. What remains to be seen is if there will be any changes to what you get for your monthly subscription fee. Provided only the name changes, here's what you get with Paramount Plus Premium, formerly known as Paramount Plus with Showtime: Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. That will set you back $12.99 a month, compared to just $7.99 a month for Paramount Plus Essential. Though, as you can see, you do get several exclusive features for that additional $5 a month. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:
