16 Sep 2020 | Rasmus Larsen |

Disney has Disney+, Warner has HBO Max, NBCUniversal has Peacock, and starting in early 2021 ViacomCBS will launch Paramount+ as its global streaming service.

Paramount+ in 2021

In the US, CBS All Access will be rebranded as Paramount+ with a wider content library in early 2021. The global roll-out of Paramount+ also starts in early 2021 with an initial debut in Australia, Latin America, and the Nordics. - "Paramount is an iconic and storied brand beloved by consumers all over the world, and it is synonymous with quality, integrity and world-class storytelling," said Bob Bakish, President and CEO, ViacomCBS. "With Paramount+, we’re excited to establish one global streaming brand in the broad-pay segment that will draw on the sheer breadth and depth of the ViacomCBS portfolio to offer an extraordinary collection of content for everyone to enjoy." Paramount+ will be a direct-to-consumer streaming service with apps for popular TV platforms. It will offers access to movies from Paramount Pictures as well as TV shows from Showtime, CBS, BET, MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and Smithsonian. At launch, it will offer more than 30,000 episodes and movies, the company said.
Upcoming Showtime originals that will debut exclusively on Paramount+ include Halo (based on the Xbox game), American Rust, and First Ladies. More information can be found in the table below. ViacomCBS is the latest media giant to enter the global streaming wars. Paramount+ will compete internationally with the likes of Netflix, HBO, and Disney. In international markets, it also means that ViacomCBS will most likely start pulling home from its partners popular shows like Ray Donovan, The Affair, Dexter and The Good Fight. No plans for 4K HDR and/or Dolby Atmos have been announced at this time. CBS All Access in the US currently cost $6 per month for an ad-supported version and $10 per month without ads. Pricing in the US could change and international pricing will be announced closer to launch.
