Everything You Need to Know about Paramount Plus

Even though Paramount Plus has only been around for about a year, the company has already built quite a reputation.

Paramount+ has some compelling original TV shows, some classic Nickelodeon shows, and exclusive access to new Paramount Pictures films immediately after their theatrical debut, so it could quickly become your go-to streaming service.

When it comes to Paramount Australia, there’s a lot to know, but we’ve compiled all you need to know into one handy guide. Everything you want to know about Paramount Plus is here for your perusal.

A Brief Overview of Paramount+

Paramount Plus has a more complicated background compared to other video streaming services. Before its rebranding as Paramount+ in March 2021, the service was known as CBS All Access.

Launched in 2014 with exclusive CBS channel content, CBS All Access failed to gain momentum compared to other successful streaming services.

CBS All Access had over eight million subscribers when it rebranded, but parent firm ViacomCBS was more recognized for producing the film franchise Paramount Pictures.

(As an aside, ViacomCBS and CBS formally merged in 2006 before reuniting in 2019 in anticipation of the 2021 launch of Paramount+.)

It was a no-brainer to switch from CBS All Access to Paramount+ since the Paramount name is more renowned throughout the globe, and the latter has a far superior library of original shows.

There were more than 30,000 episodes and more than 2,500 movies to watch instantaneously, with the switch’s formal implementation on March 4, 2021.

Where can I sign up for Paramount+?

The service is accepting subscribers at ParamountPlus.com. Users may access Paramount+ online or through the Paramount+ mobile app using the same credentials they use for CBS All Access. Members of CBS All Access will be automatically upgraded.

What do you get with Paramount+?

Paramount+ is a streaming service that features television series, movies, and sports. Subscribers may watch shows whenever they want and listen to their favorite radio stations whenever they want.

Paramount+ includes live channels, including CBS, CBSN, CBS Sports HQ, and ET LIVE, and on-demand content from CBS, BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV, and the Smithsonian Channel, as well as movies from Paramount Pictures. Paramount+ also includes your local CBS affiliate.

How much does Paramount Plus cost?

Paramount+ like most other streaming services, Paramount+ requires a monthly membership charge to access its content.

There are two options, and if you’re looking to save some money, you may sign up for either plan and pay annually. A free 7-day trial period is available for both plans’ full pricing.

For $4.99 a month (or $49.99 a year), the Essential plan provides access to all of Paramount+’s streaming content with minimal commercial interruptions. You’ll likely want to go for the Premium plan ($9.99/month or $99.99/year) if you want to watch your local CBS station without commercial interruptions.

It’s important to note that the Premium plan still includes standard commercial breaks during live TV, advertisements for Paramount+ content (which you cannot avoid), and sometimes other items and services.

There is a Paramount+ deal that includes Showtime as well. The annual cost of the Essential + Showtime package is $11.99 ($119.99 total), while the Premium + Showtime plan is $14.99 ($149.99 total).
