What platforms are available for the service?

BET Plus is now available for Android and iOS mobile devices, along with apps for the Apple TV set-top box. It’s also available on Roku streaming sticks, set-top boxes, and TVs that have the Roku OS installed and the same goes for Amazon Fire TV-based sticks, set-top boxes, and TVs. It’s also available for Amazon Prime Video via its Channels selection. In addition, you can watch BET Plus on your PC via a web browser at bet.plus.

How much does the service cost?

BET Plus costs $9.99 a month. It’s also commercial-free, so it is not supported by ads. At the moment, there’s no word on an annual subscription plan for BET Plus.

Can I watch BET Plus for free?

Yes! You can sign up for the service and watch it free for the first seven days. You can cancel the service before the free trial ends and not have your credit card charged.

What can I watch on the service?

BET Plus has over 1,000 hours of content from the BET network, including its original TV shows, movies, and specials, along with its acquired older movies and TV series. This library of shows and movies include Real Husbands of Hollywood, The New Edition Story, The Quad, College Hill, Comic View, and Hell Date. BET says most of these shows and movies have never been previously made available on current streaming services, so subscribers should have a lot of content to stream that hasn’t been made available online before.

In addition, a selection of movies produced and directed by Tyler Perry are available to stream from BET Plus. They will include movies from Perry’s hit Madea film series. Also, for the first time on a streaming service, BET Plus subscribers can stream a selection of Perry’s stage plays, such as Meet the Browns, Daddy’s Little Girls, Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor, and more.

A number of TV shows from BET’s sister Viacom-based cable networks will also be streamed on the service, including VH1’s Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Basketball Wives, and T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, Comedy Central’s Why? With Hannibal Buress, MTV’s Todrick, TV Land’s Soul Man, Nick @ Night’s Instant Mom, and more. BET Plus is also the exclusive streaming home of the classic Fox comedy series Martin.

BET Plus – Exclusive original TV shows and movies

In addition to access to the large library of the movies and shows on the BET cable network, BET Plus features exclusive original movies and shows that will only be available on the streaming service.

Comedy

• First Wives Club – An African American reboot of the classic 1996 movie comedy about three divorced women who seek revenge on their former husbands, who left them for younger women.
• Bigger – The half-hour comedy, set in Atlanta, centers on a woman who is about to marry her boyfriend, but who then has to deal with the sudden death of a college acquaintance.
• Bruh – This Tyler Perry-created dramedy follows four long-time male friends as they navigate through their lives and support each other. The second season of the show will debut on September 10.
• Kiss Me for Christmas – A Christmas themed original movie, about a woman who has a one-night romantic experience with a man. Later she finds out he’s dating her horrible boss
• Upcoming: Ms Pat – This upcoming sitcom was originally going to be on Hulu, but will now be a BET Plus exclusive. The show stars comedian Patricia “Ms. Pat” Williams. She will play a fictional version of herself, a former convicted felon who now lives in Atlanta. She is now a suburban housewife having to deal with more typical family problems.

Drama and Unscripted

• Sacrifice – Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol actor Paula Patton stars in this BET Plus original movie. She plays a high-end Los Angeles entertainment lawyer.
• Influence – Another original movie, which tells the story of a well-known female singer who is charged with murdering her husband.
• Ruthless – The first Tyler Perry-created original BET Plus show. It is a one-hour spinoff of the BET series The Oval. It centers on a woman who becomes involved in a sex cult.
• Dark Money – A four-episode series about a family who takes money from a famous Hollywood producer to keep them quiet about his abuse of the family’s child.
• Diggstown – This six-episode series centers on a woman who was a high-powered corporate attorney. However, after a family tragedy, she makes a big change in her life.
• American Gangster: Trap Queens – An unscripted series that tells the stories of the biggest female gangsters in the history of the US.
• All the Way Black – This series takes a comedic look at black culture themes from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
• The Family Business – Season 2 of the crime drama is now streaming on BET Plus after season 1 debuted on the BET cable network.
• Trigger – A new original movie about a criminal who gets out of prison and goes to visit his brother and his wife at their home. Things quickly turn bad.
• Troubled Waters – A married comedian who is becoming more popular puts all that in jeopardy when he has an affair with a younger woman.
• Never and Again – An original movie about a couple who got together as teenagers, and then were pulled apart by tragedy. Years later, can they rekindle their teen romance?

Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Farewell Play

BET Plus is the exclusive streaming home for the filmed stage play Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Farewell Play. The play dropped on the service on August 27. This will likely be the final appearance of Tyler Perry playing his well-known character Madea. The play itself also features other characters from Perry’s Madea films and plays as they come together for a family gathering.

That’s all we know about BET Plus at this point. It will be interesting to see if this service will gain traction, especially for its intended audience. We will update this post as more information about this streaming service is announced.

Similar to NBCUniversal, Viacom has been on a bit of a new app spree for the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, with the latest arrival being a new BET app. As you’d expect, the layout and functionality of the app is identical to other Viacom apps like Comedy Central, which I reviewed in detail, and MTV. Unlike most apps released by media conglomerates, Viacom’s apps actually have quite a bit of free content, including full episodes, that you can watch without needing to activate the app with a cable provider. Other Viacom properties that we’ll hopefully see Fire TV apps for in the future include Spike TV, Logo TV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., CMT, and VH1.

ReplyNea Beverlysays:February 4, 2017 at 4:32 pm

I really don’t see the point. Most cord cutters own fire sticks. If I had cable I would just watch on demand and wouldn’t need the fire stick except for Netflix, Hulu, etc. BET offer the subscription services for less than $5 per month to countries outside of the US. Why not offer that here? Smh

ReplyLadyScorpiosays:October 17, 2020 at 10:36 pm

Factss it’s so upsetting. If I have cable Wifi that should be enough to stream any channel on my Firestick. I mean we are still paying shoot.

My cable company is not listed. So why offer me the services if I cannot really have it. Then offer me a package deal to purchase just to watch it. No thanks!

ReplyCherylsays:September 5, 2018 at 4:35 pm

It finally downloaded and installed after about 15 min. I was able to open and access the app but it requires you to login thru a cable provider….Yikes!!! Totally defeated the purpose.

Every time I try to activate the BET app, on BET .com it never works.If it’s free why can’t I just download the app and start watching movies and tv series.

ReplyDarrin K Fiebersays:May 11, 2018 at 6:04 pm

Yep. BET arrives… but you can’t watch it unless your local television provider allows for it. Unfortunately, I don’t have a television provider… that was the point of the Amazon Fire Stick… which means I can’t watch the Rundown… which sucks. Grumble grumble grumble. I’m an old man. Get off my lawn.

ReplyBeverlysays:June 3, 2018 at 2:15 pm

Same here.i, can’t download Bet or Lifetime or VH1 and many more on firestick will not let me put the code in.
