Paramount+ has announced the launch of its highly anticipated Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan, solidifying Paramount+ as the new streaming home for SHOWTIME. The integration aims to provide a seamless offering, combining SHOWTIME’s edgy and critically acclaimed programming with the extensive library of popular content available on Paramount+.
Priced at $11.99 per month, the plan presents a competitive option for consumers seeking a diverse range of entertainment. For those not interested in SHOWTIME, the Paramount+ Essential Plan is available at $5.99 monthly.
Tom Ryan, President & CEO, Paramount Streaming, said the following –
“By adopting the boundary-pushing programming of SHOWTIME onto our platform, Paramount+ has fortified itself as the ultimate total household destination in streaming. Together, these powerhouse brands will showcase the breadth and depth of our content offering from across Paramount. At this price point, we’ll put the value of the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan up against any other.”
Chris McCarthy, President & CEO, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios & Paramount Media Networks added the following
“From YOUR HONOR to YELLOWJACKETS, SHOWTIME is synonymous with provocative and sophisticated series which, when combined with Paramount+ and the mass appeal of our blockbuster movies and originals, makes for an unapparelled array of content choices for the entire household”
