Explore the natural world from the comfort of your own home with this Paramount+ streaming deal

Paramount+ is best known as the birthplace of “Star Trek,” but it’s also home to plenty of journeys to strange new worlds here on Earth, thanks to an impressive library of nature documentaries included in the Smithsonian Channel. And, even better news, there’s a huge sale going on right now, so you can binge all these amazing nature documentaries for one great price.

Until the end of March you can recover Paramount+ for just $2.99 ​​per month for two months. You’ll save $6 per month for the Essential plan (the ad-supported tier) and $11 per month for Premium (no ads and 4K streaming). Paramount’s spring deal is now in effect and runs through March 31.

Smithsonian Channel is a brand under the Paramount umbrella, which means it is included in Paramount+ at no additional cost. This gives you access to great documentary series like “America’s Wild Seasons“, a four-part series that follows America’s wildlife as they adapt to the changing seasons over the course of a full year, taking a look at the lives of creatures large and small.

If you’re more interested in the smaller side of this equation, we also highly recommend checking out “Baby animals“. This six-part series is about… well, it’s in the name, baby animals.

Each episode focuses on a different facet of parenting in the animal kingdom, bringing some of the cutest creatures to your screen. We’re talking red pandas, otters, monkeys and even baby elephants. The episodes are also only less than half an hour long, so you can enjoy these little educational treats on any schedule.

If you want something you can really sink your teeth into, my final recommendation will not disappoint. “Wild Brazil” is a 2016 documentary that explores this South American country through 10 episodes of approximately 50 minutes each. Although you may hear Brazil and think of Amazon rainforestthe show actually focuses on a region called the Pantanal – the largest tropical wetland in the world. There’s nothing like discovering a whole new part of the world and falling in love with the beautiful creatures that live there.

Essential and Premium tiers are the same price during the offer period and there is no minimum subscription duration. So even if you only want Essential long term, you can get the Premium version for the first two months, enjoy all the benefits of being a Premium subscriber, and then upgrade to Essential once the two months are up.

Speaking of benefits, you can find the details of the Paramount+ Essential and Premium plans below, so you can see what you’re getting with both:
