A Paramount+ Essential Plan is now a part of every Walmart+ membership – at no additional cost

Walmart+ members can press play on the most anticipated benefit yet – a Paramount+ Essential subscription at no extra cost. With the launch of the Paramount+ offering, Walmart+ members will be able to stream the hottest originals and movies on Paramount+, including “Halo” the series, “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”, the “Yellowstone” prequel “1883”, “Sonic The Hedgehog,” and “The Good Fight”, which returns Sept. 8 for the sixth and final season.

“Today’s kickoff marks a brand-new chapter for Walmart+ and the possibilities available for our existing and new members,” said Chris Cracchiolo, senior vice president and general manager of Walmart+. “It’s pretty simple for us – our Walmart+ members asked for a streaming benefit, and we absolutely delivered with Paramount+. This is just one more example of how Walmart+ can add value to our members lives day after day.”

The addition of a Paramount+ subscription comes at a time when the seasons are changing, and backyard barbeques are giving way to living room tailgates and family movie nights. Walmart+ subscribers will have access to thousands of iconic episodes, popular films and live sporting events, including championship games. From beloved franchises such as “SpongeBob SquarePants” and “Star Trek” to popular movies such as “Secret Headquarters,” Paramount+ is a premium streaming destination for the whole family.

• Login: New and returning members will create an account or login to their Walmart+ account on Walmart.com or in the Walmart app.

Walmart+ will remain $98 a year or $12.95 a month and include the Paramount+ Essential Plan subscription – an added $59 value. Walmart+ is reaching customers in every aspect of their daily lives. From putting dinner on the table, to the songs they listen to, and making sure gas is at a discount so that people can afford to get where they need to go.
