from Wikipedia

Paramount+ is an American subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service owned by Paramount Skydance. The service's content is drawn primarily from the libraries of CBS, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, the Smithsonian Channel, Showtime, and Paramount Pictures. It also shows original series and films, live streaming sports coverage, and in the United States, live streaming of local CBS television stations. The service was launched in 2014 by CBS Corporation in the United States as CBS All Access in the United States, initially focusing on the live streaming of CBS programming from its local affiliates, as well as on-demand access to CBS programs and library content. The service began to expand into original programming in 2016, beginning with spin-offs of CBS programs such as Big Brother, The Good Fight, and the new Star Trek television series Star Trek: Discovery. In 2018, the service launched in Australia as 10 All Access, taking its name from CBS-owned Network 10, and was a mixture between CBS and 10's programming. Paramount+ is one of the top ten most-subscribed video on demand streaming media service globally, with 79 million paid memberships.[3]

Key Information

Following CBS’ 2019 reunion with Viacom, content from Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, and other Viacom brands was subsequently included, and in 2021, the service was rebranded as Paramount+ on March 4, taking its name from Paramount Pictures and becoming a companion to other Paramount brands. The service expanded into Australia, Latin America, and Europe.[4][5][6] Paramount+ is a sister service to CBS News 24/7 and CBS Sports HQ, which are streaming services for CBS' news and sports divisions, BET+, which is operated by BET and the Tyler Perry Studios, and free ad-supported streaming television service Pluto TV, which was acquired by Viacom 9 months before completing its merger with CBS.

History

[edit]

As CBS All Access

CBS All Access was launched on October 28, 2014, priced at US$5.99 per month with advertising and $9.99 per month without.[7][8][9][10] Announced on October 16, 2014, as the first over-the-top (OTT) offering by an American broadcast television network, the service initially encompassed the network's existing streaming portal at CBS.com and its mobile app for smartphones and tablet computers; CBS All Access became available on Roku on April 7, 2015, and on Chromecast on May 14, 2015.[11][12] In addition to providing full-length episodes of past and present CBS programs, the service allows live programming streams of local CBS affiliates in 194 markets reaching 92% of the United States (including stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, Hearst Television, Tegna Media, Nexstar Media Group, Meredith Corporation, Griffin Media, Gray Television, Weigel Broadcasting, and Cox Media Group and the launch group of CBS Television Stations[13]), including SEC sports and the NFL; however due to the absence of streaming rights, a few sports events are not streamed on the service (mainly involving PGA Tour events, some locally programmed NFL preseason games, and select brokered shows through CBS Sports Spectacular), along with limited syndicated and paid programming where only a local broadcast license to carry the program is allowed and web airing rights are retained by the syndicator or infomercial producer.[14][15][16][17][18] By the very nature of its being live, streaming of a local affiliate does include all advertising, even with the commercial-free plan.

On December 1, 2016, CBS announced an agreement with the NFL to allow clearance of regional NFL games carried by CBS on CBS All Access from Week 13 of the 2016 NFL season on. At the time, the games were blacked out on non–Verizon Wireless mobile devices due to that provider's exclusivity agreement as the official wireless sponsor of the league.[19] In the 2018 NFL season, a new agreement with Verizon ending that exclusivity began to allow CBS All Access to stream games to all mobile devices; Super Bowl games run on CBS All Access without the need for any authentication.

As of February 2017, the service had nearly 1.5 million subscribers.[20] In August of the same year, CBS unveiled plans to expand CBS All Access to markets outside the United States. Canada was announced as the first international market to receive the service.[21] Plans to launch in Australia quickly followed, resulting from CBS's purchase of free-to-air broadcaster Network 10.[22]

In September 2017, Star Trek: Discovery premiered on CBS All Access, with its first episode also airing on the CBS broadcast network to promote the service. CBS reported that the premiere had driven its largest single-day increase in new subscribers since the Grammy Awards. Along with Star Trek, Big Brother 19 and the start of the 2017 NFL season had also driven major increases in growth that month.[23][24]

Buoyed by Star Trek: Discovery, CBS All Access reached over 2 million subscribers by early 2018. The 60th Annual Grammy Awards also provided a boost to sign-ups, marking the second largest day for new subscriptions after the Discovery premiere.[25] In April 2018, CBS All Access was made available outside the United States for the first time when it was launched in Canada.[26]

The service launched in Australia in December 2018 as 10 All Access, named after Network 10. It operated alongside 10's free catch up and live streaming service 10 Play and contains a mixture of Network 10 and CBS programming. CBS shows are made available on All Access prior to being broadcast on 10's channels. 10 All Access is commercial-free and, unlike CBS All Access, has only one pricing tier.[27][28]

In January 2019, CBS reported its largest increase in subscribers over a weekend—a 72% increase over the premiere of Discovery, crediting the premiere of season 2 of the series and that week's AFC Championship Game (which also brought the service its largest streaming audience for a football game). Super Bowl LIII would surpass this record only a few weeks later, with CBS reporting an 84% increase in new subscribers.[29][30]

Re-merger of CBS and Viacom

[edit]

On November 25, 2019, as part of the re-merger between CBS Corporation and Viacom, CBS All Access announced the inclusion of programming from Nickelodeon, as part of the wider launch of children's programming on the service, with other partners including Boat Rocker Studios and WildBrain.[31][32]

In January 2020, CBS All Access became available on the Xfinity Flex platform, followed by the X1 platform in December.[33][34]

On February 6, 2020, CNBC reported that ViacomCBS was in discussions to launch a larger premium streaming offering, combining CBS All Access with content from Paramount Pictures, the Domestic Media Networks division, and Pluto TV. The service would include an ad-free tier, and a premium tier that includes Showtime's streaming service. The company would maintain its existing streaming platforms, while marketing the new service to users of these other services.[35][36] ViacomCBS partially outlined these plans in a corporate earnings call on February 20, 2020, stating that the expanded All Access service would take a "house of brands" approach to content and serve as a mid-tier offering complementing Pluto TV (which would remain a free service) and the Showtime OTT service by "adding a broad pay offering, built on All Access's foundation." The expanded service will include content from MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and Smithsonian Channel, as well as a library of 30,000 television series episodes and up to 1,000 film titles from Paramount's film and television divisions and CBS Media Ventures and expanded live news and sports offerings. No pricing plan or firm dates for content expansion were disclosed, though a "soft relaunch" will occur later in 2020. ViacomCBS will also continue to license its television and film content to competing streaming platforms.[37][38]

On May 7, 2020, CBS All Access began adding more films to the service, starting with more than 100 from Paramount Pictures, and ViacomCBS announced that CBS All Access will expand internationally within twelve months.[39] On July 30, 2020, CBS All Access added several shows from ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks, introduced a new user interface with "hubs" for different brands, and revealed that Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years (previously planned to air on Nickelodeon) would debut on the service in 2021.[40] With the expansion, it was also announced that the service would rebrand in early-2021 to separate itself from CBS's platforms, and that there were plans to add multiple user profiles and parental controls later in 2020.[41]

Rebrand as Paramount+

[edit]

On September 15, 2020, it was announced that CBS All Access, along with 10 All Access would rebrand as Paramount+ in 2021, and that it planned to perform more international expansion under the new name.[42]

On January 19, 2021, it was announced that Paramount+ would launch on March 4, 2021, with information being released on February 24, 2021, during an investor event.[43] The company announced that no updates will be provided for apps on second or third generation Apple TV once the service relaunches.[44] ViacomCBS announced during their investor event on February 24 that Paramount+ would premiere new 2021 theatrical releases from Paramount Pictures (such as A Quiet Place Part II and Snake Eyes) 45 days after their theatrical release, PAW Patrol: The Movie and Clifford the Big Red Dog received simultaneous theatrical and Paramount+ releases on August 20[45] and November 10, 2021[46] respectively, while other future theatrical releases from Paramount would premiere on the service either after their theatrical run or after their run on Epix (which reached a new deal with ViacomCBS that same day to provide content for Paramount+, allowing recent releases from Paramount to be available on the service among other titles).[47]

The relaunch occurred as announced on March 4, 2021, with additional streaming content being launched and further rebranding efforts taking place at that time.[48] In August 2021, it was announced that Paramount+ would be shut down in Nordic Europe in 2022 in favor of SkyShowtime, a joint venture with Comcast-owned Sky Group that would also include content from Showtime, Sky Studios, and NBCUniversal.[49]

In September 2021, it was announced that Showtime's direct-to-consumer service would be offered as part of a bundle with Paramount+.[50] Showtime content would still be accessed via the Showtime app and website, but plans were announced for Showtime content to be accessible within the Paramount+ apps for its DTC subscribers later in 2022.[51][52] The change was implemented in August 2022, with subscribers on both services able to upgrade to the combined "Paramount+ with Showtime" service for $11.99 per-month with ads and $14.99 without; a discount for new subscribers was available as an introductory offer through October 2.[53][54]

On August 15, 2022, Walmart reached an exclusive deal with Paramount+ to offer the streaming service as part of its Walmart+ offering. It meant that Walmart+ customers could access the ad-supported plan on Paramount+ at no additional charge.[55][56] Qantas also announced it had partnered with Paramount ANZ to offer Paramount+ on its in-flight entertainment systems.[57]

On June 27, 2023, Showtime's direct-to-consumer service in the United States was fully integrated with the advertising-free premium tier of Paramount+, replacing the aforementioned bundle first introduced in 2021. The newly renamed "Paramount+ with Showtime" premium tier was raised from $9.99 to $11.99 per month while the "Essential" plan (containing advertising and no Showtime content) was raised from $4.99 to $5.99 per month.[58][59] The Showtime Anytime app was discontinued on December 14, 2023.[60] That same month on December 6, Paramount announced that the apps for Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., MTV, Comedy Central, Paramount Network, and Showtime would be discontinued soon. The apps were discontinued on January 31, 2024, although this did not include CBS' app.[61] The reason was to encourage more users to sign up for Paramount+. Paramount+’s sister streaming service Noggin was shut down on July 2, 2024 for the same reason. Noggin originally ceased operations as a television service on September 28, 2009, in favor of the Nick Jr. Channel.

Merger of Skydance Media and Paramount Global

[edit]

After some setbacks, Paramount Global and Skydance Media received FCC approval to merge on July 24, 2025, which became effective on August 7 of that year.[62][63] Prior to the creation of the new conglomerate, it was reported that Oracle Corporation would help merge the operations of Paramount+ with its sister platform Pluto TV.[64] Following the formation of the new company legally known as Paramount Skydance Corporation, a restructuring was created where Tom Ryan, president of Paramount Streaming (parent company of Paramount+), would report to Cindy Holland, president of the new Paramount Skydance Direct-to-consumer division.[65][66]

On August 11, 2025, it was announced that Paramount had acquired the exclusive U.S. broadcast rights to the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) for an estimated $7.7 billion over seven years. Under the deal, Paramount+ will become the exclusive streamer of all UFC events beginning in 2026, with CBS airing select events.[67][68] On October 28, it was announced that Paramount had also acquired the exclusive Latin America broadcast rights to the UFC, as well as the rights for Fight Night events and preliminary cards for the mainline "numbered" events in Australia; the main card rights for these events are currently held by Foxtel in the country.[69]

On August 13, 2025, David Ellison (CEO of Paramount Skydance) indicated that a "soft merger" of the company's two platforms (Paramount+ and Pluto TV), unifying their technological infrastructure but maintaining distinct front-end identities, could occur within the next 12 to 18 months, meaning the merger would be completed by November 2026.[70]

Geographical expansion

[edit]

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the service launched on June 21, 2022, one day earlier than planned, and is available to watch on the Amazon Prime Video platform and as a standalone app.[71] Subscribers to Sky Cinema received access to the service as part of their subscription, however in January 2025 the offering was shifted from the ad-free to the ad-supported subscription.[72][73]

An announcement about the launch of Paramount+ in Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria in the second half of the year was made in early 2022.[74][75] in late 2022, Paramount+ announced that the streaming service will be launched in France and French-speaking Switzerland on December 1, followed by its arrival in Germany, Austria, and German-speaking Switzerland on December 8.[76][77]

Paramount+ was replaced in the Nordics by SkyShowtime, a joint venture with Comcast that also includes Sky Studios and NBCUniversal content. SkyShowtime was subsequently launched throughout many European countries over the course of late 2022 and early 2023, not including territories where Sky operates as a pay TV provider or France.[49]

The service is scheduled to be launched in Japan from November 15, 2023, in partnership with the cable television J:COM and Wowow, as part of their video streaming services, under a similar agreement to that of the South Korea.[78]

This service launched in South Korea on June 16, 2022, on the TVING video streaming platform operated by the entertainment company CJ ENM. TVING subscribers can stream Paramount+ content at no additional charge,[79] but the Paramount+ hub on TVING in South Korea ended after June 18, 2024.[80]

In 2021, ViacomCBS issued a press release that revealed the combined number of subscribers to both CBS All Access and Showtime (another streaming product).[96] That press release revealed that the two streaming services had a combined 19.2 million US subscribers, though the release did not provide individual numbers for either service.[96] In May, ViacomCBS reported to have gained 6 million subscribers during the first quarter.[97] This brought the total number of global subscribers for ViacomCBS streaming platforms (Paramount+, Showtime, BET+) to 36 million. Out of the 36 million subscribers, a majority of these subscribers are subscribed to Paramount+; however, the exact number of subscribers were not released.

On February 15, 2022, Paramount announced that 32.8 million subscribers have signed up for Paramount+ as of the end of 2021. This number increased to 39.6 million as of late March and reached to 43.4 million by September.[98]

Programming

Original programming

In November 2015, it was announced that CBS All Access would expand into original programming, announcing plans for a new Star Trek television series produced by Alex Kurtzman to premiere in 2017. The series would be the first television series in the franchise since Star Trek: Enterprise (which ran from 2001 to 2005 on former corporate sibling UPN).[99] The series was later announced as Star Trek: Discovery.[100]

In May 2016, it was announced that The Good Wife would get a spin-off featuring Christine Baranski's character Diane Lockhart; The Good Fight launched with a CBS broadcast premiere in February 2017, with the remaining nine episodes exclusive to CBS All Access.[101] This became the first original drama on the platform, ahead of the delayed launch of Star Trek: Discovery .[100] In August 2016, it was announced that a streaming spin-off season of CBS reality series Big Brother was being planned for CBS All Access.[102] The season, Big Brother: Over the Top, premiered in September 2016.[103]

Further Star Trek television series were announced for CBS All Access as well: in February 2019, CBS All Access announced what would become Star Trek: Picard, focusing on the Star Trek: The Next Generation series' captain, which premiered in January 2020.[104][105] The adult animation series Star Trek: Lower Decks premiered in August 2020.[106][107][108]

With the service's rebranding as Paramount+, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run and spin-off series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years debuted in March 2021. Sponge on the Run was also made available to rent on demand on the same day.[109] ViacomCBS announced planned original series such as the true crime series The Real Criminal Minds, a revival of Behind the Music, a revival of the BET series The Game, Taylor Sheridan's Lioness, and The Offer—a drama based on Albert S. Ruddy's experiences filming The Godfather.[42] It later announced plans to produce continuations, revivals, and reboots of other properties, including Frasier, iCarly, Reno 911!, and a series adaptation of Flashdance, among others.[110][111]

In February 2021, Paramount+ announced a television adaptation of the Xbox Game Studios franchise Halo produced by Amblin Television and Showtime, set to premiere in 2022. The show had been moved from Showtime's slate, as ViacomCBS positions the network as a premium "adult" service (as opposed to the broader positioning of Paramount+).[112]

In May 2021, CBS announced that Evil and SEAL Team would move from CBS to Paramount+ beginning with their second and fifth seasons, respectively.[113]

In August 2021, as part of the renewal of Comedy Central animated series South Park through 2027, it was announced that series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone would produce 14 movie-length South Park specials for Paramount+, with two premiering annually from 2021 through 2027. Streaming rights to the South Park series proper are owned by Max through 2025,[114][115] after which streaming rights for new episodes will move to Paramount+ beginning in 2024 (season 27), and the series library in 2025.[116]

In May 2022, Paramount announced that Paramount+ was planned to commission 150 international originals by 2025, including several from Latin America (mainly Mexico) and European territories (including France, Italy, and Spain).[117]

In July 2025, Paramount announced that they had signed a $1.5bn deal with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, to bring to show exclusively to its streaming platform Paramount+ after a drawn-out bidding war with rivals including HBO Max and Netflix.[118]

Sports programming

[edit]

Paramount+ also carries sports programming, in conjunction with CBS Sports. In November 2019, CBS announced that it had acquired streaming rights in the United States to the UEFA Champions League and Europa League in European soccer, replacing Turner Sports. All matches will stream on the service, with selected matches on the broadcast network and CBS Sports Network.[119] The contract was initially to begin in the 2021–22 season and last through 2023–24. However, during a suspension of the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, existing rightsholder Turner Sports opted out of its contract, and CBS took over the rights early for its remaining seasons.[120] On August 19, 2022, UEFA extended the deal until 2030.[121]

The service has picked up other domestic and international soccer events as well, including the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL),[122] CONCACAF Nations League, Women's Nations League, and 2022 CONCACAF Women's Championship,[123] the Argentine Primera División, Brazilian Série A,[124] and Italy's Serie A.[125] As part of the NFL's rights renewal with CBS, Paramount+ gains expanded rights to stream games on both its premium and ad-supported tiers between 2021 and 2033.[126]

On January 27, 2022, it was announced that the platform would broadcast all the matches of the Chile national team as well as the rest of the qualifying games (with the exception of the home games of the Brazil and Bolivia national teams) towards the 2026 World Cup. which would begin in 2023, sharing broadcasts with Pluto TV and the free-to-air television channel Chilevisión.[127][128] Paramount+ has also acquired exclusive rights in Mexico, Central America, Belize and Dominican Republic for the Premier League starting in the 2022/2023 season,[129] and began carrying rights in Brazil to air Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana with the 2023 seasons for their respective football cups.[130][131]

On May 22, 2025, it was announced that World Rugby had secured an exclusive, multi-year, multi-platform rights agreement with CBS Sports for Paramount+ to become the U.S. home for all men’s and women’s World Rugby events through 2029, including the next three Rugby World Cups and all USA national team matches.[132]

Syndicated and archived programming

[edit]

The most recent episodes of CBS's shows are usually made available on CBS.com and Paramount+ the day after their original broadcast.

Paramount+ provides complete back catalogs of most of its current series, including full-season "stacking rights" (with the exception of certain series, such as The Big Bang Theory, which CBS held only "last five" episode rights during its original run, as Warner Bros. retains all other rights as the show's distributor), as well as a wide selection of episodes of classic series from the CBS Media Ventures program library – including shows previously owned by the original Paramount Television made for both CBS and other networks prior to CBS's acquisition of its program library through the CBS-Viacom split (including the complete episode catalog of shows like Star Trek, Cheers, MacGyver, Twin Peaks, and CSI: Miami), along with the pre-1973 NBC and ABC libraries to subscribers of the service. Paramount+ also carries behind-the-scenes features from CBS programs and special events, and (beginning with the 17th season in June 2015) live feeds and special content from the reality series Big Brother.[8] However, with Warner Bros. licensing its content from its television and film library (even including a few HBO series) to Paramount+ in select regions like Australia, The Big Bang Theory would soon be made available for streaming on Paramount+.[133]

In mid-April 2017, a limited library of films, made up of content from Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Sony Pictures, The Samuel Goldwyn Company, and CBS Films, was made available on the service. This includes several titles in the Star Trek film series. On May 7, 2020, CBS All Access added more than 100 films from Paramount Pictures;[134] more films were added in the following months.

In August 2019, CBS All Access expanded into children's broadcasting by acquiring the American broadcast rights to Danger Mouse (1981) (as well as the reboot of the series), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and several other series from WildBrain including Inspector Gadget (and Inspector Gadget's Field Trip), Bob the Builder (original, and reboot), Polly Pocket and others.[135] On July 30, 2020, CBS All Access added 56 shows from ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks.[41]

On February 15, 2022, it was announced that Paramount+ would be the new streaming home for South Park in the United States beginning with season 27 in 2024, after HBO Max's deal to the show will expire in 2025 in the United States and its separate international deal with Netflix has also expired in 2022, with all current seasons of South Park rolling out onto the service in countries where it is available, with new episodes premiering on Paramount+ in those regions.[136] This comes just seven months after the show's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone extending their deals with Paramount Global in August 2021; the streaming acquisition of the series will also include the rights to all 310 episodes beginning in 2022 in other countries and in 2025 in the United States.[137]

CBS's Christmas specials are not available on Paramount+.[138]

CBS All Access was first launched in the United States on October 27, 2014. The service would receive its first International expansion on April 23, 2018, when CBS All Access expanded to Canada. Australia received its own version of the service, named 10 All Access, on December 4, 2018.

In August 2020, ViacomCBS announced plans to launch an expanded international streaming service using the CBS All Access technical architecture, but under the new Paramount+ name (revealed in September) in 2021; the Paramount+ name would also be applied to the American replacement to CBS All Access. The service features original programming from CBS All Access as well as Showtime, plus additional programming including Paramount Pictures films which may vary by market. The service would initially launch in the Nordics and Latin America, replacing an existing service of the same name, with additional markets to follow.[139] In Australia, while the relaunched service will premiere all new Showtime original programs going forward, currently airing series will remain on Stan until their conclusion under an existing deal.[140]

The Paramount+ brand itself was originated as a subscription video on demand film service, first launching in the Nordics in 2017,[141] and then in Hungary,[142] Latin America,[143] and Russia in the following three years.[144] The current iteration of Paramount+ in the Nordics and Latin America was preceded by this service.

Outside the United States, Paramount+ is currently available in Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Latin America, Middle East (as a pay TV channel), the United Kingdom and Ireland. Additionally, the Paramount+ SVOD service is still active in Russia (as Okko Paramount+ and IVI Paramount Play),[145][146] though the current streaming service is unavailable in said regions. Due to program rights and existing content deals, several programs are not available on local versions, or have delayed availability for new episodes.[147] For example, Star Trek: Discovery and all others from the franchise are licensed to Bell Media in Canada for their CTV Sci-Fi (in English) and Z (in French) channels and streaming service Crave.[148][147] As another example, selected Paramount+ original kids and family programming such as Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years and Rugrats are licensed to Corus Entertainment for their YTV and Treehouse networks and Nick+ streaming service in 2021, in part due to pre-existing agreements between Corus and Paramount Global.[149] Star Trek: Prodigy is currently the only show of the genre not to be available on either Corus services or Paramount+. Instead, it airs in Canada on the CTV Sci-Fi Channel.[150]

A localized version of Paramount+ operates in the Middle East as a premium offering on pay-TV provider OSN, replacing the now-defunct Paramount Channel. It features content from the aforementioned channel, as well as Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and MTV.[151]

In India, Paramount+ original programming, along with Showtime and CBS programming were made available under Voot Select in Viacom18's Voot, a joint venture between Paramount Global and Network 18, beginning in early 2021.[152]

In August 2021, Comcast announced an agreement with Paramount Global to launch SkyShowtime, a joint streaming service combining programming from the Paramount Global, Sky, and NBCUniversal libraries as well as original programming from Peacock and Paramount+.[153][154] The service is expected to be available in 20 smaller European territories, including four Nordic countries along with Hungary where it will replace Paramount+ and Poland where it will replace Paramount Play, instead of Paramount+ and Peacock operating separately in those markets.[49]

In November 2021, it was announced that Star Trek: Discovery would be pulled from Netflix in all countries outside the United States and Canada (for which Bell Media retained the license for the entire Star Trek libraries) and moved to Paramount+ for international release.[155] Also reported were plans for its 2022 global rollout, starting with its launch in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Germany, German-speaking Switzerland and Austria via Sky Group[156] and South Korean entertainment and media conglomerate CJ ENM to launch Paramount+ as a content hub on TVING (similar to Disney+'s Star), marking the first Asian region to launch the streaming platform; the partnership also includes a joint venture for future content, including English adaptations of tvN drama series which has produced by CJ's production house Studio Dragon.[157] During the earning call on May 3, 2022, it was announced that Paramount+ was set to be launched in the United Kingdom and Ireland on June 22, 2022,[158] while the South Korean content hub launch was on June 16, 2022.[159] Paramount also announced that Paramount+ would launch in India from Viacom18 in 2023. It is yet to be announced on whether it will replace Voot along with JioCinema.[158] The service as a content hub on TVING in South Korea was ended after two years in June 2024.[80]

On February 15, 2022, during its annual investor presentation, French media conglomerate and cable operator Canal+ Group announced that Paramount+ will be launching in France in December of that year,[160] followed by the announcement that the streamer will also expand into the Caribbean by the end of the second quarter of that year.[161]

On March 28, 2022,[162] Caribbean cable operators FLOW and BTC announced that Paramount+ will be launching in the Caribbean via the cable companies' video on demand platforms.[163] Within the region's subset covered by those VOD platforms, at least one such country was seemingly omitted from the initial rollout; however, some months later Jamaica was also added.[164][165]

On November 27, 2022, the director of the Swiss branch of Canal+ Group announced that Paramount+ will be launching in French-speaking Switzerland on December 1, 2022.[77]

Meanwhile, Paramount+ was released in other territories in Europe as SkyShowtime, beginning with replacing Paramount+ in the Nordics on September 20, 2022, launching in October 25 of same year, in the Netherlands and Portugal,[166][167] afterwards in the former Yugoslav countries (except North Macedonia) on December 14 of that same year,[168] and on February 14, 2023, in the rest of Central and Eastern Europe.[169] SkyShowtime finished its expansion by releasing in Spain and Andorra on February 28, 2023,[170] with its content later being incorporated as part of more expensive packages in the Spanish TV operator Movistar Plus+ at the beginning of 2024.[171]

Paramount+ had originally announced intentions of launching in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Africa, and the MENA in 2023,[172] but after the end of SkyShowtime's expansion in early 2023, the majority of these plans seem to have been scaled back or postponed, with Paramount Global opting to make Paramount+ available in new regions through partnerships with existing pay TV operators instead of expanding the reach of the standalone streaming platform.

In Belgium some titles from Paramount+ were made available exclusively on Streamz in 2022.[173] In November 2023, the deal with Paramount & Streamz was expanded so that a large part of the Paramount+ catalog would gradually become available on Streamz from December 22, 2023.[174][175]

Paramount+ was launched in Japan on December 6, 2023, as an additional VOD hub for Japanese operators J:COM and Wowow via their respective VOD services.[176][177] The hub was also made available on Amazon Prime Video and Lemino in 2024 and 2025 respectively.[178][179] Similar plans were announced for Greece, in this case via the Greek cable operator Cosmote TV,[180][181] with Paramount+ content becoming available on April 22, 2024, across the Cosmote Cinema channels and on demand.[182]

A deal was eventually signed for distribution of Paramount+ in the MENA with beIN Media Group on October 22, 2024,[183] with Paramount+ content now being present in the beIN's television channels, like beIN Series. This deal was also expanded into beIN's operations in Turkey on February 25, 2025.[184]

Additionally, Paramount+ was also announced for the Philippines as a content hub on TAP DMV's OTT platform Blast TV which was launched on May 23, 2025,[185] and is set to relaunch in South Korea under the new partnership with Coupang Play in 2025.[186]

from Grokipedia
Paramount+ is an American over-the-top subscription video on-demand and live streaming service owned and operated by Paramount Streaming, a division of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation.[1] Launched in the United States on March 4, 2021, it serves as the rebranded and expanded successor to CBS All Access, providing access to a vast array of content from Paramount's portfolio, including original series, hit shows, movies, live sports, breaking news, and linear channels.[2][3] The service originated from announcements in September 2020, when ViacomCBS (later Paramount Global, and following the merger with Skydance Media in August 2025, now Paramount, a Skydance Corporation) revealed plans to transform CBS All Access into Paramount+, initially featuring more than 30,000 episodes, 2,500 movie titles, and over 1,000 live sporting events.[4][5] Following its U.S. debut, Paramount+ rapidly expanded internationally, launching in Australia, Canada, Latin America (including Brazil), and the Nordic countries in 2021, with further availability in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and other European markets in 2022, and subsequent launches in Africa, the Middle East, and India in 2024.[6][7][8][9] In June 2023, Showtime's content library was fully integrated into the platform after the linear network's shutdown, and in June 2025, the bundled offering was renamed Paramount+ Premium to highlight its ad-free tier with exclusive Showtime originals.[10][11] Paramount+ distinguishes itself with content drawn from CBS, Paramount Pictures, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and Showtime, encompassing thousands of episodes, new and classic movies (such as The Naked Gun and The Smurfs), family-friendly programming, and live events including NFL on CBS, UEFA Champions League soccer, and CBS News broadcasts.[3][2][12][13] The platform supports streaming on up to three devices simultaneously across platforms like iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, PlayStation, and Xbox, with family profiles for personalized viewing.[3] It offers two tiers: the Essential plan at $7.99 per month (with limited ads and select live TV), and the Premium plan at $12.99 per month or $119.99 annually (ad-free except for live content, offline downloads, and 4K UHD on eligible titles).[3][11] As part of its global strategy, Paramount+ committed to producing 150 international original titles by 2025 to cater to regional audiences.[6]

Overview

Service description

Paramount+ is a subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service owned by Paramount Skydance, providing access to on-demand video content and live TV streaming from a vast library drawn primarily from CBS, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, Smithsonian Channel, and Showtime.[3][14] Launched as an evolution of earlier streaming efforts, it offers subscribers a mix of original series, classic films, and live events, positioning itself as a comprehensive entertainment hub within the competitive SVOD market.[3] The service features two main subscription tiers: the Essential plan at $7.99 per month, which includes limited advertising and access to a broad selection of on-demand titles and live sports, and the Premium plan at $12.99 per month, which provides ad-free viewing (except for live TV), inclusion of Showtime originals, and enhanced capabilities like streaming on up to three devices simultaneously.[3] Key highlights include live streaming of sports such as NFL games on CBS and UEFA Champions League matches, as well as 24/7 news from CBS affiliates, all integrated seamlessly with the on-demand catalog.[3] Unique aspects encompass support for 4K UHD, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos on select content in the Premium tier, offline downloads for mobile viewing (with certain restrictions), and family-friendly profiles to manage kid-safe content.[3] Paramount+ is available across a wide array of platforms, including smart TVs from brands like Samsung, LG, and Vizio; streaming devices such as Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast; mobile apps for iOS and Android; web browsers; and gaming consoles including PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox Series X.[3] As of 2025, the service boasts a library exceeding 40,000 episodes and movies, encompassing everything from blockbuster films to episodic TV series, enabling users to explore decades of Paramount's entertainment heritage.[3]

Ownership and corporate structure

Paramount+ traces its origins to CBS All Access, a subscription video-on-demand service launched in October 2014 by CBS Corporation, which wholly owned and operated the platform as part of its direct-to-consumer strategy. The service's corporate structure evolved significantly following the December 4, 2019, merger between CBS Corporation and Viacom, which created ViacomCBS as the parent company encompassing both legacy media assets and streaming operations like CBS All Access. In February 2022, ViacomCBS rebranded to Paramount Global to emphasize its focus on streaming and content creation, with Paramount+ positioned as a flagship direct-to-consumer (DTC) offering under the newly unified entity. On August 7, 2025, Paramount Global completed its merger with Skydance Media in an all-stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $8 billion, forming Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ: PSKY) as the new parent company.[14] Under the terms of the deal, Skydance investors acquired control of the combined entity, holding approximately 70% of the economic interest and 100% of the voting power, led by David Ellison and including the Ellison family and RedBird Capital Partners.[15][16] The merger received regulatory approvals from the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and other bodies, addressing antitrust concerns related to media consolidation without significant divestitures.[17] Paramount Skydance operates as a global media and entertainment conglomerate, with Paramount+ serving as a core DTC streaming asset integrated alongside linear television networks such as CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and Showtime.[18] David Ellison assumed the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, directing the company's strategy toward technology integration, including AI-driven content production, and international expansion of its streaming portfolio.[19] The board of directors comprises 11 members, including Ellison; Safra A. Catz, CEO of Oracle; Sherry Lansing, former CEO of Paramount Pictures; and Barbara Byrne, former Vice Chairman of Barclays, among others, providing oversight on governance and strategic initiatives.[20][21]

History

Origins as CBS All Access

CBS All Access launched on October 28, 2014, marking the first subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service from a major U.S. broadcast television network.[22] The platform was developed by CBS Interactive to provide subscribers with access to current primetime CBS programming—available on-demand the day after broadcast—along with a library of over 5,000 episodes from past seasons and classic shows such as Star Trek and CSI.[23] At launch, it also included live streaming of CBS-owned television stations in 14 major U.S. markets, allowing users to watch local news and programming without a traditional cable subscription.[24] The service experienced steady early subscriber growth, reaching approximately 1 million paid subscribers by July 2016.[25] This milestone was bolstered by the introduction of exclusive original programming, particularly the premiere of Star Trek: Discovery on September 24, 2017, which drove record single-day sign-ups and more than doubled mobile subscription revenue in the following weeks.[26] Prior to originals like Star Trek: Discovery, growth relied heavily on the appeal of CBS's extensive on-demand library and live local feeds, though the platform's content was predominantly archival rather than new productions. CBS All Access encountered early challenges stemming from its pricing model and content limitations relative to established competitors like Netflix. The basic tier cost $5.99 per month with limited advertising, while the ad-free option was priced at $9.99 per month—higher than Netflix's then-standard $7.99 ad-free plan—despite offering fewer original series and a narrower focus on CBS-specific titles.[22] Initially, the service lacked a robust slate of exclusive content, relying mostly on next-day episodes and classics, which made it harder to attract cord-cutters seeking diverse, ad-free streaming options.[27] Key milestones in the service's early years included the expansion of live local CBS affiliate streaming in May 2017, following an agreement that enabled coverage of approximately 90% of U.S. television households.[28] International expansion began with a soft launch in Canada on April 23, 2018, offering a similar library of CBS content for $5.99 CAD per month, followed by testing in Australia later that year on December 4.[29][30] From the outset, CBS All Access supported multi-device viewing, accessible via CBS.com and dedicated apps for iOS and Android devices, enabling seamless streaming across smartphones, tablets, and computers.[23] Early technological features were in beta phases for some users, focusing on reliable live streaming and on-demand playback, though advanced options like cloud DVR were not introduced until later iterations.[24]

Rebranding and early expansion

The 2019 merger between Viacom and CBS Corporation, completed on December 4, formed ViacomCBS and unified their extensive content libraries, including CBS's broadcast programming and Viacom's cable networks such as MTV and Nickelodeon, to bolster streaming capabilities amid rising competition in the digital entertainment sector.[31][32] On February 25, 2021, ViacomCBS detailed the upcoming rebranding of CBS All Access to Paramount+, emphasizing an expanded slate of originals and library content to position it as a direct rival to services like Disney+ and HBO Max.[33] The service launched in the United States on March 4, 2021, fully absorbing CBS All Access subscribers while incorporating Viacom's vast archives, such as episodes from MTV, Nickelodeon, and BET, to offer over 30,000 hours of on-demand content at launch.[34][35] Paramount+ began its international expansion in 2021 with launches in Latin America on March 4, alongside the U.S., and in Australia on August 11, providing localized content hubs for brands like Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures films.[36][37] The service extended to the United Kingdom and Ireland on June 22, 2022, through partnerships with Sky and Amazon Prime Video channels, further broadening its European footprint.[38] In 2022, Paramount+ integrated Showtime's premium content, including series like Billions and Yellowjackets, into its app as an upgrade option starting in the summer, enhancing its appeal for ad-free viewing and theatrical releases.[39] To drive early growth, Paramount+ invested in high-profile original programming, such as the Yellowstone prequel 1883, which premiered on December 19, 2021, and drew significant viewership with its Western saga starring Sam Elliott and Tim McGraw.[40] The following year, the sci-fi adaptation Halo debuted on March 24, 2022, setting a viewership record for the platform's series premieres and underscoring efforts to attract genre audiences.[41] These releases, alongside family-friendly Nickelodeon revivals and Paramount films, aimed to differentiate Paramount+ in a crowded market dominated by Disney+ and HBO Max.[42] The rebrand fueled rapid subscriber growth, with Paramount+ reaching 32.8 million global subscribers by the end of 2021, a surge from the pre-launch base of approximately 30 million across ViacomCBS's combined streaming services including CBS All Access and Showtime OTT.[43][44] Strategic initiatives included the introduction of an ad-supported tier at $5.99 per month from launch, broadening accessibility beyond the $9.99 ad-free plan inherited from CBS All Access.[45] In August 2022, Paramount+ partnered with Walmart+ to bundle the ad-supported Essential tier at no extra cost for members, aiming to leverage retail loyalty for sustained adoption.[46]

Recent mergers and developments

In 2023 and 2024, Paramount Global faced significant challenges in the competitive streaming landscape, including elevated subscriber churn for Paramount+ amid the ongoing "streaming wars." For instance, despite the termination of a bundled agreement in South Korea and higher-than-expected churn from promotional cohorts, the service reported a net gain of subscribers in the second quarter of 2024. To address these pressures, the company implemented aggressive cost-cutting measures, including a round of layoffs affecting about 2,000 jobs (15% of the U.S. workforce) in August 2024. These actions were driven in part by activist investor scrutiny, with firms like Barrington Research urging strategic changes and shareholders voicing opposition to potential deals that could dilute value.[47][48][49][50] The culmination of these pressures led to the announcement on July 7, 2024, of a definitive merger agreement between Paramount Global and Skydance Media, valued at $8 billion. The two-step transaction involved Skydance and its partners first acquiring National Amusements (the Redstone family's controlling entity) for $2.4 billion, followed by a merger that valued Skydance at $4.75 billion and provided Paramount shareholders with cash and stock options at a premium. This deal emerged amid heightened activist investor demands for a sale or restructuring to counter declining linear TV revenues and streaming losses. Regulatory hurdles were cleared when the Federal Communications Commission approved the transfer of control on July 24, 2025, following concessions to preserve CBS's news and entertainment programming independence.[51][52][53][54] The merger officially closed on August 7, 2025, forming Paramount Skydance Corporation under the leadership of Skydance founder David Ellison as chairman and CEO. In the immediate aftermath, the company initiated workforce reductions, announcing plans in late October 2025 to cut approximately 2,000 U.S. positions—representing about 10% of its global staff—as part of a $2 billion cost-saving initiative to streamline operations post-merger. Further cuts followed on November 10, 2025, with an additional 1,600 jobs eliminated, primarily from divestitures of television stations in South America. A return-to-office mandate implemented in late October led to about 600 voluntary departures by November 11, 2025, costing the company $185 million in severance. Leadership also emphasized integrating artificial intelligence into content production to enhance efficiency and scale output, including tools for virtual production and automated workflows to accelerate film and TV development. Additionally, Paramount Skydance entered discussions for a potential merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, with reports in November 2025 indicating bids in an ongoing auction process; however, on November 18, 2025, the company denied a reported $71 billion joint bid involving Middle Eastern funds, stating the information was inaccurate.[14][55][56][57][58][59][60] Strategically, Paramount Skydance pivoted toward live events and global expansion to drive subscriber engagement and revenue diversification. A landmark $7.7 billion, seven-year media rights deal with TKO Group Holdings was announced on August 11, 2025, granting exclusive U.S. distribution of all UFC events starting in 2026, including 13 pay-per-view numbered events and 30 Fight Nights on Paramount+. This agreement was extended internationally, with UFC content rolling out to Latin America and Australia via Paramount+ in 2026. The company also announced a new slate of original programming, such as the limited series 9/12 starring Jeremy Strong in October 2025 and a live-action Call of Duty feature film partnership with Activision. These moves aligned with broader goals to achieve streaming profitability by late 2025 through reduced churn, ad revenue growth, and targeted content investments.[61][62][63][64][65]

Content

Original programming

Paramount+ emphasizes original programming as a core pillar of its content strategy, allocating a substantial portion of its annual content budget—estimated at around $15 billion overall—to develop exclusive series, films, and documentaries tailored for the platform. This investment prioritizes leveraging iconic franchises to build viewer loyalty, including expansions in the Star Trek universe with multiple ongoing series, high-stakes action from the Mission: Impossible IP through limited series and films, and the expansive Taylor Sheridan universe encompassing Western dramas like Yellowstone spin-offs.[66][67][68] The following table lists selected original programming on Paramount+:

Collaborations with Nickelodeon focus on kids' programming, yielding animated and live-action series like the upcoming Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado, aimed at younger audiences with adventurous storytelling.[72][71] To promote diversity, Paramount+ incorporates international co-productions, targeting 150 global originals by the end of 2025, with a emphasis on European thrillers such as the French fantasy-horror Marie Antoinette Serial Killer and Italian docuseries like Murder of God's Banker. These initiatives foster cross-cultural narratives, including suspenseful dramas that appeal to international viewers.[73][75] Original programming drives significant engagement, contributing to a 31% year-over-year increase in global watch time across its platforms in early 2025. In November 2025, new originals such as the comedy series Crutch premiered, further boosting viewer interest.[76][74]

Sports programming

Paramount+ offers a robust lineup of live sports programming, leveraging CBS Sports' broadcast rights to deliver streaming access to major professional and college events. The service streams NFL on CBS games, including over 100 regular-season matchups and select playoffs, available live to subscribers in local markets where CBS affiliates air the broadcasts.[77][78] This integration began with the 2021 NFL rights renewal, ensuring Paramount+ serves as the primary streaming destination for these Sunday afternoon contests.[79] The platform's soccer offerings center on the UEFA Champions League, with exclusive U.S. English-language rights extended through the 2030-31 season in a $1.5 billion deal that includes all matches streamed live on Paramount+.[80][81] Additionally, Paramount+ holds rights to Big Ten Conference college football, broadcasting select games on CBS and streaming them exclusively on the platform, such as key matchups involving top-ranked teams like the Oregon Ducks and Iowa Hawkeyes.[82][83] In 2025, Paramount+ expanded its portfolio with new agreements, including a seven-year, $7.7 billion deal with TKO Group for exclusive U.S. rights to all UFC events starting in 2026, encompassing 13 numbered pay-per-view events and 30 Fight Nights streamed live.[84] The service also streams WNBA games via CBS Sports, featuring 20 regular-season broadcasts in 2025, such as high-profile matchups involving the Indiana Fever.[85][86] Paramount+ enhances the viewing experience with advanced live streaming features tailored for sports fans. The Premium plan ($12.99/month) includes cloud DVR functionality, allowing users to rewind, pause, and fast-forward live NFL on CBS games, alongside seamless integration of linear CBS feeds for real-time access.[87] In September 2025, the platform introduced a multiview option, enabling up to four simultaneous streams—initially for UEFA Champions League coverage—to support concurrent match viewing.[88][89] Exclusive sports content on Paramount+ includes behind-the-scenes programming like The NFL Today+, a streaming-only pregame show debuting in 2025 that provides two hours of analysis, highlights, and insider insights ahead of NFL Sunday games.[90] The service also features sports analytics shows through CBS Sports HQ, a 24/7 digital network offering data-driven breakdowns of NFL, UEFA, and college football events.[91] Sports content significantly bolsters Paramount+'s subscription growth, with live events like NFL and UFC cited as key drivers for attracting and retaining viewers amid competition from services such as ESPN+.[92] Premium add-ons, including UFC pay-per-view access, generate additional revenue through event-specific purchases.[93] However, challenges persist, including local blackout restrictions that prevent streaming of NFL games in markets where they air on over-the-air CBS affiliates, prompting users to rely on traditional TV or VPN workarounds.[94]

Library and acquired content

Paramount+ grants subscribers comprehensive access to the extensive archives of Paramount Global's key brands, including CBS, Paramount Pictures, MTV, Nickelodeon, and BET. This core library encompasses thousands of hours of programming spanning decades, featuring iconic franchises such as the classic Star Trek series from CBS and Paramount Pictures, long-running animated hits like SpongeBob SquarePants from Nickelodeon, and seminal films including The Godfather trilogy from Paramount Pictures. Additional offerings draw from MTV's music and reality archives, BET's cultural series, and CBS's vast catalog of primetime dramas and news specials, providing a rich repository of historical and entertainment content tailored to diverse audiences.[3][72][95] Beyond its owned properties, Paramount+ enhances its catalog through licensed deals for third-party content, including popular series like South Park from Comedy Central and older films from studios such as Warner Bros., exemplified by Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The service also features international series acquired through global partnerships, broadening its appeal with non-U.S. productions. As of 2025, this combined library includes over 40,000 episodes and thousands of movies, with content rotation influenced by viewer trends and seasonal interests to maintain engagement.[96][97][98] To organize its offerings, Paramount+ curates themed collections, such as decade-specific hubs highlighting 1990s Nickelodeon programming and genre-focused sections like the "Peak Screaming" horror vault, which in 2025 featured over 450 titles for seasonal viewing. The platform receives annual updates from recent theatrical releases, with Paramount Pictures films typically arriving within a 45-day post-theater window to capitalize on momentum. Certain titles enjoy exclusive windowing on Paramount+ prior to broader distribution, ensuring prioritized access for subscribers during initial availability periods.[99][100][101]

Availability and distribution

Geographical availability

Paramount+ initially launched in the United States on March 4, 2021, as a rebranding and expansion of CBS All Access. It simultaneously debuted in Canada and across 18 Latin American countries, including Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, marking its early international push into North and South America. The service expanded to Australia on August 11, 2021, followed by the United Kingdom and Ireland on June 22, 2022. By 2025, Paramount+ operates in approximately 28 countries spanning the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, reflecting a strategic focus on key markets with high demand for premium streaming content.[102][103][104] Recent expansions have targeted Asia through partnerships, including branded content hubs on JioCinema in India launched in January 2024 and distribution via the local streamer Lemino in Japan starting April 2025. In Europe, Paramount+ achieved comprehensive coverage by 2025, building on 2022 launches in France (December 1), Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (December 8), and Italy, with additional reach in Central and Eastern Europe via the SkyShowtime joint venture. These rollouts emphasize partnerships to navigate local market dynamics and accelerate adoption.[8][105][106] To adapt to diverse audiences, Paramount+ incorporates regional variations such as content localization, including dubbed versions of flagship series like Star Trek in Spanish for Latin American markets and original local programming tailored to cultural preferences. Geo-blocking restricts access to certain U.S.-exclusive offerings, such as NFL games, outside approved regions to adhere to broadcasting rights agreements. Distribution partnerships further enhance accessibility, with integration into Sky platforms in the UK and Ireland, and availability as a dedicated channel on Amazon Prime Video in select European countries like the UK.[107][108][109] Expansion efforts face challenges, including persistent piracy in emerging markets where affordable legal access remains limited, driving some users to unauthorized streams. Regulatory hurdles, particularly in the EU, involve compliance with data privacy laws like GDPR and past antitrust scrutiny over geo-blocking practices in content licensing. Despite these, international growth has been robust, with global subscribers reaching 79 million in Q1 2025, underscoring the service's broadening footprint beyond the U.S.[110][111][112]

Subscription models and pricing

Paramount+ offers two primary subscription tiers in the United States as of November 2025: the Essential plan, priced at $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year, which includes advertising during on-demand content and access to over 40,000 episodes, movies, and live sports such as NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League matches; and the Premium plan, at $12.99 per month or $119.99 per year, providing an ad-free experience (except for live TV and promotions), offline downloads, streaming in 4K UHD, live local CBS affiliate feeds, and integrated Showtime content. Price increases are planned for January 15, 2026, raising Essential to $8.99 per month ($89.99 per year) and Premium to $13.99 per month ($139.99 per year).[96][113][114][115] Annual subscriptions offer a discount equivalent to roughly two months of service compared to monthly billing.[116] Internationally, pricing and tier structures vary by market to align with local economics, with both ad-supported and ad-free options generally available. In the United Kingdom, the Basic plan costs £5.99 per month with ads, while the Premium plan is £10.99 per month and ad-free; in Canada, options include Essential at CA$7.99 per month (with ads) and Premium at CA$12.99 per month (ad-free with 4K and downloads); and in Australia, the Basic plan is AU$7.99 per month following a November 2025 price adjustment, with the Premium tier at AU$13.99 per month. Many international plans support up to six user profiles for family sharing. Recent price adjustments occurred in November 2025 for several markets.[117][118][119][120] Bundling options enhance accessibility, such as inclusion of six months of the Essential tier with Walmart+ memberships starting at $12.95 per month, or discounted access through carriers like Verizon for select plans.[121] The Premium tier effectively bundles Showtime originals and movies without a separate add-on fee.[122] Pricing has evolved amid economic pressures, with the U.S. Essential tier increasing from $5.99 to $7.99 per month in August 2024, and similar hikes applied internationally, such as Australia's Basic plan rising in November 2025; an ad-supported tier was introduced globally starting in 2024 to broaden appeal.[123][119] Add-ons for enhanced sports viewing, including extras for NFL and UEFA content, are available in select markets for approximately $10 per month beyond base plans.[87]

Business performance

Subscriber metrics

As of the second quarter of 2025, Paramount+ had 77.7 million global subscribers, marking a decline of 1.3 million from the 79 million reported at the end of the first quarter, primarily due to the expiration of international bundling agreements.[124] This figure includes approximately 60 million international subscribers, reflecting the service's emphasis on global expansion.[112] The platform's subscriber base grew from 67.5 million at the end of 2023 to the current total, representing a year-over-year increase of about 10 million despite quarterly fluctuations such as the recent net loss.[125][126] Paramount+'s audience demographics skew toward a balanced gender distribution and a strong appeal to younger adults aged 18-34, driven by original programming.[127] Approximately 63% of subscribers opt for ad-free plans, indicating a preference for premium viewing experiences.[128] Retention remains a key challenge, with monthly churn rates estimated at 7-8%, though these are periodically lowered during sports seasons that encourage sustained engagement.[129] In the U.S. subscription video-on-demand market, Paramount+ ranks sixth behind Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, and Max, yet it ranked top three in viewing hours for original series domestically.[130][112] In the third quarter of 2025, Paramount+ added 1.4 million subscribers, reaching 79.1 million global as of September 30, 2025.[131] Following the Skydance merger completed on August 7, 2025, Paramount+ has shown signs of stabilization in its subscriber metrics, with the new UFC media rights deal—valued at $7.7 billion over seven years starting in 2026—projected to drive net additions of 2-3 million subscribers by enhancing live sports offerings.[132][133]

Financial results and profitability

Paramount+'s financial performance is driven by its direct-to-consumer (DTC) segment, which encompasses subscription fees, advertising, and bundled offerings. In the second quarter of 2025, DTC revenue reached $2.16 billion, reflecting a 14.9% year-over-year increase, primarily fueled by Paramount+ subscription growth of 21.8% and higher pricing. Advertising revenue within DTC contributed an additional boost, with total DTC advertising up due to improved ad sales on Paramount+. Bundles, such as those with carriers and other services, added to the mix, supporting quarterly DTC revenue exceeding $500 million from non-subscription sources.[134] In the third quarter of 2025, DTC revenue increased 17% year-over-year to $2.17 billion.[135] Annually, Paramount Global's DTC operations, dominated by Paramount+ at approximately 80% of the portfolio, generated projected revenue of around $8 billion in 2025, building on the segment's acceleration from prior years. This marks a shift from earlier losses, with DTC adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) improving to $157 million in Q2 2025, a quintupling from the prior year. Losses have narrowed progressively: the DTC segment reported $1.66 billion in annual losses in 2023, reduced to $497 million in 2024, and achieved domestic profitability in Q2 2025 ahead of full-year breakeven targets, with global DTC profitability expected for 2025.[136][137][138] The cost structure emphasizes heavy investment in content and marketing to sustain growth. Paramount Global's total content spending was $15.2 billion in 2025, down 7% year-over-year from $16.4 billion, with about 60% directed toward original programming for Paramount+ and other platforms. Marketing expenses accounted for roughly 10% of the budget, focused on subscriber acquisition and retention amid competitive pressures. These investments, while contributing to prior losses, have supported revenue expansion and margin improvements.[66] The 2025 merger with Skydance Media injected $1.5 billion in cash, bolstering liquidity and enabling debt reduction from prior levels of over $14 billion. This financial restructuring positively impacted operations, with company-wide revenue of $6.7 billion in Q3 2025, flat year-over-year and the first full quarter post-merger, driven partly by DTC synergies.[14][139][140] On November 10, 2025, Paramount announced price increases for Paramount+ in the US starting January 15, 2026: Essential plan to $8.99 per month (up $1) and Premium to $13.99 per month (up $1), alongside ending free trials to boost ARPU.[115] Looking ahead, Paramount+ is forecasted to achieve global profitability by 2026, supported by average revenue per user (ARPU) growth, alongside continued cost efficiencies and content optimization.[138][112]

Reception

Critical reception

Upon its launch and subsequent updates, Paramount+ has received generally positive reviews for its diverse content library, including a strong emphasis on family-oriented programming from Nickelodeon. In a 2025 TV Guide assessment, the service was praised for its depth in live sports like NFL games and originals from the Yellowstone universe, earning high marks for value at $7.99 per month for the ad-supported tier.[141] The platform's original series have garnered acclaim for specific franchises, with Star Trek entries like Strange New Worlds achieving 98% on Rotten Tomatoes for its engaging storytelling and visual effects, while Discovery holds an 84% score for revitalizing the sci-fi genre.[142][143] In contrast, the Halo adaptation received mixed responses, with its first season at 70% on Rotten Tomatoes due to deviations from source material, though season two improved to 90% for tighter action sequences.[144][145] Taylor Sheridan-produced dramas, such as Yellowstone, have been lauded for their intense character-driven narratives, averaging 84% across seasons on Rotten Tomatoes, highlighting the platform's strength in prestige television.[146] Paramount+ originals have secured multiple Emmy Awards, primarily in technical categories; for instance, Star Trek: Discovery won for Outstanding Special Visual Effects in 2021, and Star Trek: Picard earned awards for makeup in 2023, contributing to over a dozen wins across the franchise by 2025.[147][148] Yellowstone received one Emmy for production design in 2021, underscoring recognition for craftsmanship amid broader acclaim for Sheridan's oeuvre.[149] Sports programming has also been honored, with CBS's NFL coverage—streamed on Paramount+—earning Peabody Awards for innovative broadcasting, including immersive fan experiences.[150] Critics consistently highlight Paramount+'s excellence in kids' content, bolstered by the full Nickelodeon catalog featuring SpongeBob SquarePants and Paw Patrol, which a 2025 CableTV review rated highly for family accessibility and parental controls, positioning it as a top choice for younger audiences.[151] However, pre-2024 international rollout faced critiques for U.S.-centric offerings and slower localization efforts, limiting global appeal compared to competitors.[152] In broader rankings, Paramount+ is often placed mid-tier among streaming services, valued for affordability and niche strengths like sports over Netflix's superior polish and vast original slate, according to CNET's 2025 analysis.[153]

Cultural and industry impact

Paramount+ has played a pivotal role in the broadcast-to-streaming transition, serving as a pioneer by leveraging its extensive library of linear network content to fuel direct-to-consumer (DTC) strategies across the industry. By integrating assets from CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and Showtime, the platform has demonstrated how traditional media companies can maximize content value through diversified distribution, influencing other linear networks to accelerate their own DTC launches and hybrid models. This approach has emphasized sustainable growth, with tiered subscription options that broaden accessibility and enhance advertising revenue, setting a benchmark for financial viability in the streaming wars.[154] In terms of cultural footprint, Paramount+ has revitalized iconic franchises like Star Trek, adapting them for diverse modern audiences through inclusive storytelling that upholds the series' ethos of "infinite diversity in infinite combinations." Shows such as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Discovery have attracted new subscribers by incorporating progressive themes, social commentary, and representation of underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ+ characters and cameos from figures like Stacey Abrams, thereby reinforcing the franchise's influence on societal values and fan communities. Similarly, Taylor Sheridan's Paramount+ series, including Yellowstone spinoffs like 1883 and 1923, have shaped a revival of the Western genre on television, elevating neo-Western narratives to record viewership levels and expanding the format's appeal through interconnected storytelling that blends historical drama with contemporary issues.[155][156] The platform's broader effects include accelerating industry consolidation, exemplified by the 2025 Skydance-Paramount merger and ongoing discussions of ties with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), which could create a "super streamer" combining HBO Max and Paramount+ libraries. This wave of mergers has raised concerns over Hollywood job losses, with Paramount announcing approximately 2,000 U.S. layoffs in late 2025 to streamline operations amid integration challenges. On the user side, Paramount+ has boosted cord-cutting trends, contributing to the shift where over 80 million U.S. households are projected to forgo traditional pay TV by 2026, as viewers increasingly opt for affordable streaming alternatives. The service has also advanced diversity through initiatives like its "No Diversity, No Commission" policy and investments in inclusive originals, such as BET UK's focus on Black British stories and social impact series led by diverse creators, though recent policy adjustments in 2025 have scaled back some DEI targets.[157][158][159][160] Challenges posed by Paramount+ include its role in exacerbating streaming fatigue, as the proliferation of services like it has led to subscription overload and higher churn rates among users citing cost and content fragmentation. Mergers involving the platform have also drawn antitrust scrutiny, with regulators examining potential market concentration that could reduce competition in content distribution and pricing. As of 2025, Paramount+ stands as a key player in live sports streaming, particularly NFL events, where its broadcasts have altered viewer habits by driving digital adoption—such as multi-device viewing—and adding millions of subscribers during playoffs, with NFL games averaging 17.5 million viewers across platforms and fostering younger, affluent audiences.[161][158][162]
