With Starfleet Academy beaming up to small screens and season four of Strange New Worlds later in the year, 2026 is a big year for Star Trek and you can save 37% on an annual subscription to Paramount Plus
2026 sees Starfleet Academy and a new season of Strange New Worlds enter the Star Trek universe, so now is the time to save big on Paramount Plus and a VPN.
2026 is a huge year for Star Trek with Starfleet Academy and season four of Strange New Worlds coming to Paramount Plus, so now is the time to save 37% on 12 months of one of the best streaming services available.
Save 37% on an annual subscription to Paramount Plus and you can save up to 70% on NordVPN, so you can securely stream the shows when travelling.
The arrival of Starfleet Academy on Jan. 15 sees a new Star Trek show all about the training and learning of future generations of ship crew, from pilots to engineers, all set in San Francisco in the 32nd century. Another hit Trek show, Strange New Worlds, will also return later in the year for its fourth season, which is another reason to think about streaming deals and a longer-term subscription when signing up to Paramount Plus. It could also be worth getting a VPN subscription, so you can stream content securely while travelling and using public Wi-Fi, as a VPN can help you access content from back home that may be geo-locked abroad, while offering added online security.

Of course, it's not just Starfleet Academy and Strange New Worlds you can stream on Paramount Plus. The entire catalogue of Star Trek content is there to watch on the streaming service, along with other award-winning shows and blockbuster movies, as well as sci-fi hits including the Transformers movies and both seasons of the Halo TV show.
A VPN is worth getting to help you access the content you're subscribed to while travelling, but it's also helpful as it boosts your online security through a number of safety features. With NordVPN, you can get a dedicated IP address, malicious domain and ad blocks and a speedy connection as standard on up to 10 devices simultaneously. If you decide to opt for one of NordVPN's more advanced plans, you can also get scam detection, a data breach scanner, anti-malware protection, 1TB of encrypted storage, $100K in cyber extortion coverage and $1m in identity theft insurance.
Key features: 37% discount on Paramount Plus, 70% discount on NordVPN. New episodes of Starfleet Academy and Strange New World will stream this year, the entire Star Trek library available to watch, access streaming content from back home while travelling, ad blockers, scam protection, a data breach scanner, encrypted storage and more.
Price history: Before today's deal, it would set you back nearly $100 to subscribe to Paramount Plus monthly for a whole year, so it makes sense to get 12 months for under $60 and enjoy both Starfleet Academy and season four of Strange New Worlds later in the year.
Consensus: Paramount Plus is the absolute go-to for Trekkies as the entire Star Trek library of content, from movies to shows, both new and classic, is available on the service. Paramount Plus also boasts award-winning TV shows and movies as part of its content library, even if the options available are slightly more limited compared to its competition.
