Frequently asked questions
Cancel Showtime: The Right Way
How to cancel Showtime in malaysia without losing your final month's access
What Showtime is and how it changed in malaysia
Showtime is a premium streaming service offering original dramas, films, documentaries, and specials, now integrated into the Paramount+ with Showtime tier across most regions. In Malaysia, the picture is more complex: you may access Showtime content through a direct subscription, through Astro's bundled packages, or via third-party billing platforms like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon. Understanding your specific subscription route is your first step to cancellation.
The structural change affecting malaysian subscribers
The standalone Showtime app was discontinued in most markets, and its content migrated into Paramount+ with Showtime as a premium tier. Consequently, many Malaysian users now encounter Showtime through Astro's channel packages or through Paramount+ bundles rather than a dedicated Showtime subscription interface. This shift means your cancellation path depends entirely on where the billing occurs: if Astro charged you, you cancel through Astro; if Apple took the payment, you cancel in App Store subscriptions; if you subscribed directly on the Paramount+ website, you manage it there.
Pricing and billing cycles in malaysia
Showtime pricing varies by subscription route. Direct Paramount+ with Showtime subscriptions typically cost around RM57 per month or higher depending on your plan, with automatic renewal enabled by default. Astro bundles that include Showtime content range from RM25 to RM60 per month depending on the package tier. When you sign up for any free trial, your card is charged automatically on the first day after the trial ends unless you cancel before that date arrives.
| Subscription route | Billing entity | Typical cost | Cancellation method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct web signup | Paramount+ or Showtime | RM57+ per month | Web account settings |
| Apple App Store | Apple | RM57+ per month | iOS subscriptions manager |
| Google Play | RM57+ per month | Play Store subscriptions | |
| Astro bundle (recommended for Malaysian users) | Astro | RM25-60 per month | Astro account or app |
| Amazon Prime Video | Amazon | RM57+ per month | Prime Video subscriptions |
| Roku Channel | Roku | RM57+ per month | Roku account settings |
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects you against automatic renewal traps and unfair contract terms. Under this framework, your supplier (whether Showtime, Paramount+, Astro, Apple, or Google) must provide clear cancellation information before or at the point of purchase, honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe, and cease billing immediately upon confirmed cancellation.
Legal framework protecting malaysian subscribers
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599) explicitly protects consumers against misleading terms and unfair automatic renewal practices. Section 123 prohibits suppliers from continuing to debit your card without explicit, prior consent; Section 12 requires that all material terms (including cancellation procedures) be brought to your attention before purchase. Furthermore, the Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs enforces these protections and handles complaints if a company refuses to cancel or continues charging after you request cancellation.
In accordance with these protections, you have the right to cancel Showtime at any time before or after a free trial ends. Your supplier must provide a cancellation mechanism that is as simple as the original signup process. Consequently, if signup took one click, cancellation must not require posting a letter or calling an overseas number.
Your legal position
You are entitled to: (1) cancel your Showtime subscription at any point, before or after a free trial ends; (2) receive immediate confirmation of your cancellation; (3) have your subscription automatically turned off before your next billing date; (4) receive a full refund if you were charged after requesting cancellation; and (5) lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs if the company refuses to honour your cancellation. These rights are enshrined in the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and apply to every subscription route (Astro, Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku, or direct web).
How to identify your billing source before cancelling
Cancellation works only when you cancel on the platform that actually charged you. If you cancel in the wrong place, your subscription will continue and you will be charged again.
Step one: check your bank or credit card statement
Open your latest bank statement or credit card statement in your online banking app. Look for the most recent Showtime, Paramount+, Astro, Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku charge. The entity name shown on your statement is your billing source. Take a screenshot and save it; you will need this information if a dispute arises later.
Step two: cross-check in your account settings
Log into your account on the platform that you believe charged you (for example, your Apple ID account, your Astro account, or your Google account). Navigate to Subscriptions or Billing, and confirm that Showtime or Paramount+ with Showtime is listed as an active subscription. If it appears here, this is definitely your correct cancellation route.
Step three: check your email for receipts
Search your email inbox for "Showtime", "Paramount", "Astro", "receipt", or "subscription". The most recent receipt email will show the billing entity's name and the amount charged. Compare this with your bank statement to confirm match. Save this email thread as evidence of your subscription.
How to cancel Showtime step by step
Follow the specific cancellation process for your billing platform to ensure your subscription turns off before your next billing date.
Cancel if you subscribed directly on the web (Paramount+ or Showtime website)
- Open your web browser and go to your Paramount+ or Showtime account page (usually account.paramount.com or account.showtime.com).
- Log in using your email and password.
- If you cannot remember your password, use the "Forgot password" link and reset it before proceeding.
- If you subscribed years ago and the website has moved, search for "Paramount+ account" or "Showtime help" in your browser.
- Locate your Subscriptions or Billing section in your account dashboard.
- This is usually labelled "Manage subscription", "Billing", or "Plan details".
- If you cannot find it, look for a Help or Support link and search for "cancel subscription".
- Click on your active Showtime or Paramount+ subscription.
- You will see your next billing date, your current plan tier, and a "Cancel" or "Turn off renewal" button.
- If the page shows multiple subscriptions, ensure you are cancelling only Showtime or the Paramount+ with Showtime tier, not an entirely separate service.
- Click the Cancel or Turn off renewal button.
- The system may prompt you to confirm your cancellation or offer a discount to stay; disregard any discount offer if you truly want to cancel.
- Continue clicking through any confirmation screens until you see a final "Your subscription has been cancelled" or "Cancellation confirmed" message.
- Take a screenshot of the final confirmation page showing the date of cancellation and the statement that your access will end on your current billing cycle's final day.
- Forward this screenshot to yourself via email immediately so you have a timestamped copy.
- Save the confirmation email that arrives in your inbox within the next hour.
Cancel if you subscribed through apple app store (iOS or mac)
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then tap "Subscriptions".
- If you do not see this option, you may have an older iOS version; update to the latest version and try again.
- Tap on Showtime or Paramount+.
- If you see both listed, confirm which one shows "Renews" on a specific date; that is your active subscription.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Turn off auto-renewal".
- A confirmation message will appear stating "Your subscription ends on [date]".
- This confirms that Apple has stopped future charges; your current access continues until that date.
- Take a screenshot of the final screen showing the cancellation confirmation and the end date of your access.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple within one hour.
- If no email arrives, go back to Subscriptions and verify that the status now shows "Expired" instead of "Active" or "Renews".
If you subscribed on an older Mac, open App Store, click your profile icon, select "Account settings", go to "Subscriptions", find Showtime, and click "Edit" then "Cancel".
Cancel if you subscribed through google play store (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then tap "Manage subscriptions".
- If you do not see this option, your Play Store version may be outdated; update the app from the Play Store itself.
- Tap on Showtime or Paramount+.
- The screen will show your current plan, renewal date, and a "Cancel subscription" button.
- Tap "Cancel subscription".
- Google will display a cancellation reason form; select any reason or leave it blank.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" again to confirm.
- Wait for the final confirmation screen that says "You have cancelled [subscription name]" and shows your access end date.
- Take a screenshot immediately.
- Check your Gmail inbox for a cancellation confirmation email from Google Play within one hour.
- Search for "subscription" or "Google Play" if the email does not appear in your main inbox.
Cancel if you subscribed through astro (Malaysian users)
- Visit Astro's website at astro.com.my or open the Astro app on your phone.
- Log in with your Astro account credentials (email and password).
- If you do not remember your password, use "Forgot password" on the login page.
- Navigate to your Account or My Subscriptions section.
- In the app, this is usually under "My Account" or a profile icon in the bottom menu.
- On the website, look for "Account settings" or "Manage subscriptions".
- Locate the Showtime channel package or bundle that includes Showtime.
- Astro may list this as "Blockbuster Pack", "Showtime Add-on", or a specific tier that includes Showtime content.
- Take note of your next billing date.
- Click "Cancel package", "Remove", or "Manage" to modify or cancel.
- Astro will confirm your cancellation and show when your access ends (usually the end of your current billing cycle).
- If you are in a contract, Astro will show any penalties or will confirm that no penalty applies.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page and save any confirmation email from Astro.
- If you encounter difficulty, call Astro customer service at 03-9543-9543 (Monday to Sunday, 8am-11pm) with your account number and cancellation request.
Cancel if you subscribed through amazon prime video
- Visit amazon.com or amazon.co.uk (depending on which Amazon site you used) or open the Amazon app on your phone.
- Log in with your Amazon account.

- On the Roku device, navigate to Settings, Subscriptions, and find Showtime.

- Roku will confirm the cancellation and show your access end date.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation and check your email for a cancellation receipt within one hour.
What happens after you cancel Showtime
Cancellation takes effect immediately in your account, but you retain access to all Showtime content until the end of your current billing cycle. Understanding this timeline protects you from confusion about whether your cancellation worked.
Your access period after cancellation
Once you confirm cancellation, you will receive an immediate notification (on screen or via email) stating the exact date your access will end. This is typically the last day of your current billing month or the day before your next automatic charge would occur. You continue to stream Showtime content freely until that date. After that date, if you attempt to open the app or website, you will be prompted to resubscribe; you will not be charged unless you actively resubscribe.
Refund eligibility if you were charged after cancellation
If your card was debited after you successfully cancelled Showtime, you are entitled to a refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Contact the billing entity (Apple, Google, Amazon, Astro, or Paramount+) immediately and request a refund for the erroneous charge. Provide a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation and your bank statement showing the charge date. Most platforms process refunds within 5 to 10 business days. If the company refuses to refund you, lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs ([email protected] or online at portal.stp.gov.my).
Preventing accidental resubscription
After cancellation, some users accidentally resubscribe by clicking "Subscribe again" in the app or website. To prevent this: delete the Showtime app from your device if you do not plan to use it again, remove any saved payment methods from your account settings if you feel comfortable doing so, or simply ignore any email offers or notifications asking you to resubscribe. You will not be charged unless you actively complete a new signup.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Showtime
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the correct process; most problems arise from rushing through the steps or cancelling in the wrong place. Here is what not to do.
Cancelling in the wrong location
The most frequent error is cancelling through one platform when you subscribed on another. For example, if you signed up through Apple but cancelled in your Paramount+ web account, your Apple subscription continues and you are charged again. Before you touch Cancel, triple-check your bank statement to confirm the exact billing entity. If you are still unsure, contact Yafee's support team or the company's help center to confirm your billing source before taking any action.
Missing the trial end date
Free trials are legitimate offers, but the trap is simple: if you do not cancel before the final day of your trial, your card is charged automatically for the first full month on day one of the paid period. Mark your trial end date in your phone calendar and set a reminder for two days before that date. This gives you time to cancel without panic. If you were charged after your trial ended and you did not intend to subscribe, contact your billing entity (Apple, Google, Astro, etc.) immediately and request a refund as a trial-to-paid conversion error.
Not saving cancellation proof
Screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and saved emails are your legal evidence if a dispute arises. If you cancel without capturing proof and a charge appears on your next statement, it becomes your word against the company's. Always take a screenshot of the final confirmation screen showing "Cancellation confirmed" or "Your subscription ends on [date]", and always save any confirmation email. Forward both to yourself or upload them to cloud storage immediately.
Assuming cancellation is complete without verification
Some users see an on-screen confirmation and assume they are done. In reality, you must verify your cancellation in two ways: (1) Check your subscriptions list 24 hours later to confirm the subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "Ended" instead of "Active". (2) Check your email for a confirmation message from the billing entity. If either of these fails to appear, your cancellation may not have processed, and you should repeat the cancellation steps or contact customer support.
When to escalate if Showtime refuses to cancel
In rare cases, a company may refuse to cancel your subscription or continue charging after you request cancellation. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 gives you a clear escalation path.
Step one: gather your evidence
Before escalating, collect: (1) screenshots of your cancellation request and confirmation; (2) copies of all billing emails and receipts; (3) your bank or credit card statements showing the charges; (4) any email correspondence with customer support. Save everything in a single folder or email thread.
Step two: contact the billing company's customer service
Email or call the company's customer support team directly and request cancellation plus a refund if you were charged after requesting cancellation. Provide your evidence and a clear explanation of the issue. Most problems are resolved at this level within 5 business days. Use Yafee's contact database if you cannot find the customer service number; Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel services by providing accurate contact details for every major platform.
Step three: escalate to the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs
If the company refuses to respond or denies your cancellation request without valid reason, file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs. You can lodge a complaint online at portal.stp.gov.my or by email at [email protected]. Include all your evidence and a clear description of the issue. The Ministry will investigate and can compel the company to refund you and honour your cancellation rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
When you should keep your Showtime subscription
Cancellation is straightforward, but before you cancel, consider whether Showtime genuinely offers content you no longer watch or whether you might benefit from pausing rather than cancelling.
Reasons to keep Showtime
Showtime produces acclaimed original dramas (Succession, The White Lotus), documentaries, and specials that are not available on other platforms in Malaysia. If you are actively watching any of these series or are planning to watch upcoming releases, the monthly cost (typically RM57 or RM25 within an Astro bundle) may be justified. Furthermore, if you subscribed at a promotional rate (for example, RM10 per month for the first three months), you may consider keeping the subscription until the promotion expires and then cancelling if the full price no longer appeals.
Reasons to cancel Showtime
Cancel if: you have finished all the shows you wanted to watch, you can access the same content through an Astro bundle at a lower cost, you are also subscribed to Paramount+ (which now includes all Showtime content), or you simply cannot afford the recurring monthly charge. Yafee recommends reviewing your full subscription portfolio every three months and cancelling any service you have not used in the previous 30 days.
| Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Actively watching a Showtime series | Keep until you finish the series |
| Finished all shows you wanted to watch | Cancel immediately |
| Subscribed at promotional rate | Keep until promotion ends, then reassess |
| Also have Paramount+ subscription | Cancel (Paramount+ now includes Showtime content) |
| Astro bundle includes Showtime at lower cost | Cancel direct subscription, switch to Astro bundle |
| Cannot afford the monthly cost | Cancel without hesitation |

Frequently asked questions about Showtime cancellation
This section covers the most common questions subscribers ask when preparing to cancel Showtime.
Can i pause my Showtime subscription instead of cancelling?
Showtime does not offer an official pause feature. Your options are to keep your subscription active or cancel. If you may want to return to Showtime in the future, cancel now and resubscribe later when you are ready; there is no penalty for resubscribing. Your watchlist and viewing history may or may not be retained, depending on the platform.
Will i lose access to my recorded or downloaded content?
If you downloaded Showtime episodes or films to your device for offline viewing, those downloads will become unplayable once your subscription expires. Showtime uses digital rights management (DRM) technology that restricts offline content to active subscribers only. Download any episodes you want to keep before your cancellation date becomes effective.
Can i get a refund if i cancel mid-month?
Showtime operates on a calendar month or billing cycle basis. In Malaysia, consumer law does not require monthly services to issue pro-rata refunds if you cancel mid-month, unless you cancel during a free trial period. However, if you cancel before your next billing date, you will not be charged again, and you retain access to the service until the end of your current billing cycle. If you were charged a full month and cancel the same day, contact the billing entity and request a goodwill refund; some platforms grant these in certain circumstances.
What if i accidentally cancelled but want to resubscribe?
You can resubscribe immediately through the same platform (Apple, Google, Astro, Amazon, etc.). Your payment method on file will be charged for the next billing cycle. You may not receive your previous watchlist or viewing history, depending on the platform. If you cancelled within the last 30 days and regret it, some platforms may offer a discount or free period to return subscribers; contact customer support to ask.
Do i need to cancel through multiple platforms if i have the app on multiple devices?
No. Your subscription is tied to your account, not to individual devices. If you subscribed through Apple, cancelling in your iOS App Store subscriptions will cancel your account on all Apple devices. Similarly, if you subscribed through your Paramount+ web account, cancelling on the website cancels access on all devices. You do not need to cancel separately on each device.
What is the contact address for Showtime if i need to send a formal cancellation letter?
Showtime does not publish a Malaysian postal or physical address for cancellations. All cancellations must be processed through your account settings or the billing platform that charged you. If you insist on sending a formal letter, contact the relevant company's registered office: Astro (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), Apple (Cupertino, USA), Google (Mountain View, USA), or Amazon (Seattle, USA). However, this is unnecessarily slow; use the cancellation methods outlined in this guide instead. If you have a genuine dispute and need to escalate, Yafee can help you identify the correct legal contact and draft a formal notice if required.
Summary and next steps
Cancelling Showtime is a straightforward process when you follow the correct platform-specific steps. Your first action is to identify where your subscription is billed (your bank statement is your guide), then navigate to that platform's subscriptions page and click Cancel. You retain access to all Showtime content until the end of your current billing cycle, and you will not be charged again. If you are charged after cancellation or the company refuses to cancel, the Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects you and gives you a clear escalation path via the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
Yafee provides end-to-end subscription management and cancellation guidance for consumers across Malaysia and globally.
