Paramount+ With Showtime Officially Launches, Priced at $11.99 Monthly
June 27, 2023
Paramount+ and Showtime Anytime June 27 officially combined services into a unified SVOD platform priced at $11.99 monthly. The standalone Showtime platform will shutter at the end of the year. Paramount’s ad-free service was previously priced at $9.99 per month. The less-expensive ad-supported option increased $1 to $5.99 and does not include Showtime.
The move was originally announced during Paramount Global’s last fiscal call, in a move designed to save $700 million in operating costs.
Top Showtime content joining Paramount+ includes “Yellowjackets,” “Your Honor,” “George & Tammy,” “Dexter,” “The Chi,” “Billions,” “The Curse,” “Fellow Travelers,” “The Woman in the Wall” and “A Gentleman in Moscow,” among others.
“By adopting the boundary-pushing programming of Showtime onto our platform, Paramount+ has fortified itself as the ultimate total household destination in streaming,” Tom Ryan, CEO of Streaming at Paramount, said in a statement. “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.”
Paramount ended the most recent fiscal period with 60 million paid subscribers, which included Showtime, Noggin and BET+.
