In order to watch the series online for free, new subscribers to CBS All Access should take advantage of the service’s free trial. New users can get a seven-day free trial of the service, giving them a chance to watch all of the service’s exclusives like The Good Fight and Star Trek: Picard for free for a week.
After that time, the service costs $5.99 a month for its version with commercials, or $9.99 for the ad-free version. Yearly subscriptions, meanwhile, cost $59.99 or $99.99 a year respectively.
It is possible, however, to get CBS All Access as part of a bundle with two other streaming services. Apple TV+ subscribers can get both Showtime and CBS All Access for $9.99 a month on top of the $4.99 a month for the Apple streamer on its own. This also has a seven-day free trial, and viewers can watch all of the three services ad-free.
For viewers wanting a glimpse at The Stand, the official synopsis reads: “When the ‘Captain Trips’ flu epidemic wipes out more than 99% of the population, the remaining few immune to the disease, including Stu Redman [played by James Marsden], Frannie Goldsmith [Odessa Young], and Harold Lauder [Owen Teague], set out in search of other survivors, all the while, experiencing visions of the nurturing Mother Abagail [Whoopi Goldberg] and the menacing figure of The Dark Man [Alexander Skarsgård].”
The Stand airs Thursday on CBS All Access.
