After a year-long cliffhanger, “All the Queen’s Men” returns with its fifth and final season.

The new season picks up immediately after Madam was shot and left fighting for her life, with the shooter still unknown and her Eden empire suddenly at risk.

The first two episodes dropped today, Wednesday, June 10. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the premiere, including how to stream it for free.

‘All The Queen’s Men’ streaming overviewPremiere: Wednesday, June 10Episodes: Season 5, Episodes 1 & 2Streaming: Paramount+ (30-day free trial with Walmart+), DIRECTV Premier plan (5-day free trial)How to watch ‘All The Queen’s Men’ for free

Paramount+ is the primary streaming home for “All The Queen’s Men” Season 5, with plans starting at $8.99/month (Essential) or $13.99/month (Premium). However, Paramount+ does not offer a standard free trial, which means you cannot simply sign up and watch for free.

The DIRECTV workaround: DIRECTV’s Premier plan includes Paramount+ and a 5-day free trial, plus $40 off your first month of service. By signing up for the DIRECTV trial, viewers can watch “All The Queen’s Men” for free during the trial period. Cancel anytime.

After the trial period and introductory offer, the Premier plan is $169.99/month, and includes 185+ live channels and access to ESPN, Starz, HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu in addition to Paramount+.

The Walmart+ workaround: Another workaround is Walmart’s membership program, Walmart+, which offers a 30‑day free trial. One of its included benefits is access to Paramount+ Essential (ad‑supported) at no additional cost.

Once the trial ends, the membership converts to a paid subscription unless canceled, and access to Paramount+ is tied to that subscription.

What to expect from ‘All The Queen’s Men’ Season 5

The shocking Season 4 finale left Marilyn “Madam” DeVille (Eva Marcille) fighting for her life after being shot in her office.

With the shooter still unknown, the new season centers on the aftermath of that attack. Madam’s empire — built around the Eden nightclub — is now unstable, and the people closest to her are left scrambling to figure out what happened while trying to protect what remains.

At the same time, outside forces begin to take advantage of the chaos. As pressure mounts to uncover the truth, alliances shift, and new threats emerge, creating a power struggle inside and outside of Eden.
