Paramount+ is a subscription-based multimedia platform for movies and TV shows developed by ViacomCBS Streaming. It's a video streaming service that is being offered by Paramount Streaming. It features content from the CBS Entertainment Group, as well as various media properties owned by Paramount Global.

Just like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+ offers a library of different movies and shows across various genres to suit every viewer’s preference. It offers a free trial period for new users and comes in multiple subscription plans. It even has customizable bundles for a more tailored and personalized viewing experience.

Various content for your viewing pleasure

Paramount+ goes beyond the ordinary as it offers users a vast array of hit movies, exclusive originals, and live sports such as the NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League. The streaming app also grants you access to a treasure trove of content from SHOWTIME, CBS, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, MTV, VH1, and more — all conveniently packed into one platform.

You can also indulge in your favorite series, from Survivor and NCIS to SpongeBob SquarePants and Big Brother, with full episodes available on demand. What’s more, the platform features subscriber-only originals, such as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, 1923, and Special Ops: Lioness, ensuring there’s always something fresh to capture your attention. For movie lovers, every night can be a movie night with blockbuster hits and fan-favorite films from Paramount Pictures, MGM, and other studios. 

While the app offers an extensive and diverse content library, it comes with a few caveats. Live TV includes commercials, and select shows have promotional interruptions. Downloaded content is accessible for a limited time, either 30 days from the date of download or 48 hours from the start of playback. Plus, content availability is subject to change, and unfortunately, the streaming platform is limited to the US only.

Entertainment on the go

Paramount+ is a little bit of a surprise in an industry that’s already congested with various streaming services. What makes it stand out is the large library of classic shows and movies that it can tap into. While it has a few limitations, the overall experience is enriched by the variety and quality of the content it brings to your fingertips whenever you want.
