Apple TV+ Subscribers Can Now Bundle CBS and Showtime for Discounted $9.99 Per Month

Monday August 17, 2020 8:57 am PDT by Joe Rossignol

As expected, Apple today introduced a bundle deal that allows Apple TV+ subscribers to subscribe to CBS All Access and Showtime for $9.99 per month combined. The bundle can be redeemed through the Apple TV app in the United States.

CBS All Access and Showtime usually cost $20.98 per month combined, so this bundle provides an over 50 percent discount.

CBS and Showtime are available through Apple TV Channels, a feature that lets Apple device users sign up for and watch various subscription television services right within the ‌Apple TV‌ app. Users still need to pay for the streaming services, but without the hassle of downloading an app and signing up separately.

Apple TV+ itself costs $4.99 per month.

I subscribe to both and don’t see anything yet. I cancelled both - i figure in a few weeks when the Existing subscriptions time-out, it will offer me the bundle.

Ok, a bit confusing but looks like it’s an additional subscription if you’ve already subscribed to CBS or Showtime individually. Apple doesn’t warn that you’ll need to cancel your current subscription. Also, I can’t tell if the CBS bundle is the commercial free version or the cheaper version with ads.

it's the commercial free version. It says the cost without ATV+ is $20.98. $10.99 for Showtime and $9.99 for CBS ad-free.

Homeland is the BEST series on there.

I remember Showtime's glory days with Dexter, Weeds, Californication, and the early seasons of Ray Donovan and Homeland.

Feels like they fell off a cliff after that.
