Additional device support for CNN+ will be available in the coming months.

Available for purchase at $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year, early subscribers that sign up within the first four weeks directly via CNNPlus.com will have access to the “Deal of a Lifetime,” or 50% off the monthly plan – for life – as long as they remain subscribers. Alternatively, new users can sign up for a 7-day free trial via participating app stores.
At launch, 8-12 live daily shows will debut, in addition to the first episode of a slate of weekly programming, new CNN+ Original Series, and a library of more than 1,000 hours of award-winning programming from the CNN Original Series and CNN Films teams. Additionally, the Interview Club platform will house a thriving community that allows subscribers to drive the conversation and be part of the story.
