There’s undoubtedly a lot of great stuff on Paramount Plus. From newly released films such as Orphan: First Kill (2022) and The Lost City (2022) to classics such as Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and Top Gun (1986), Paramount Plus’s movie library is stuffed to the gills with must-watch titles.

Unique Offerings

Firstly, there’s the sheer number of television shows available to you. The complete Star Trek franchise resides on Paramount Plus, including new Star Trek shows exclusive to Paramount Plus such as Star Trek: Picard (2020), Star Trek: Discovery (2017), and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022).

Paramount Plus also has all of NCIS (2003- ), all the CSI franchises, and even a suite of Showtime original series, as well. There are even classic comedies such as I Love Lucy (1951-1957) and Cheers (1982-1993).

Secondly, there’s the Paramount Plus film library. Classic Westerns from the Golden Age of Hollywood, new action movie franchises such as Transformers and Mission: Impossible, iconic comedies such as Mean Girls (2004) and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989)…even award-winning documentaries and family-friendly features.

There’s truly no shortage of great films and shows to stream on Paramount Plus. Think about what you’ll be missing out on before you make the decision to cancel. (Ultimately, you can always re-subscribe, too.)

Once there, click the gear on the righthand side. A drop-down menu will appear, at which point you’ll want to select Settings. (It’s like a scavenger hunt!) You’ll then be greeted with a page that looks like the one above. Then, click Channels.

Step Two: Cancel Paramount Plus Channel

From here, click the Cancel Channel option next to Paramount Plus under Your Channels. You’ll be taken to the above screen, where you’ll be given three options to choose from: “Remind me 3 days before renewal,” “Turn off auto-renew,” and “Keep subscription.” While the last of these three is self-explanatory, the first two might need some elaboration.

The first option — Remind me 3 days before renewal — will keep your Paramount Plus subscription active and make no changes to your plan. It will simply send you an email reminder about your upcoming billing date 72 hours prior to auto-renewing.

The second option— Turn off auto-renew— will effectively cancel your subscription. Additionally, it will give you the ability to continue watching until the end of your subscription term. The last option, as you can assume, will do nothing. You’ll continue to pay monthly and your membership will remain intact.

If you’re looking to cancel, select either of the first two options. Your safest bet is the middle one of the three, Turn off auto-renew, as it will stop you from being charged again at the end of the term. Even with the first option’s 72-hour reminder, you might still forget to cancel and be left with another unwanted month of Paramount Plus.
