At an online investor event, ViacomCBS revealed several new details about replacing CBS All Access, Paramount +, including pricing, as well as two new ones Star Trek series that will debut on the network. In addition, the company announced that a much-anticipated Showtime show will end at Paramount +.
Paramount +, announced several months ago, will be launched on March 4 in the United States, Canada and 18 Latin American countries. As with CBS All Access, plans will be offered with or without ads. In the U.S., the ad plan will cost $ 4.99 per month, while the ad-free plan will cost $ 9.99.
That $ 4.99 a month is $ 1 cheaper than the advertising version of CBS All Access. However, this cheaper plan will not include local CBS stations. The service is also expected to launch in the Nordic countries within a few weeks and in Australia later this year.
When it comes out, Paramount + will have 2,500 films and 30,000 TV episodes, according to ViacomCBS executives. This will include some original series, many of which will be available in 4K and Dolby Vision HDR.
The original series will include those we’ve seen on CBS All Access, including the large list of Star Trek programs like Discovery, Picard, and Lower decks.
Two new Star Trek series was recently announced: a children’s animated program in CG called Star Trek: Prodigy, and a spinoff about Captain Pike and Mr. Spock called Star Trek: strange new worlds. Prodigy was planned to air on Nickelodeon (which is owned by Viacom, part of ViacomCBS), and still airs there – but only after first appearing on Paramount +.
In addition, it was confirmed that the long-awaited and long-delayed series based on the video game franchise areola will be delivered via Paramount +; was originally planned as a Showtime series. Steven Spielberg is the program’s executive producer, which is planned to premiere in the first quarter of 2022. According to Deadline, filming was underway when the pandemic forced the closure. During the break, it was decided to move the show to the Paramount + service for a wide audience, instead of “adult” and “sophisticated” Showtime. (These descriptors were used by Showtime executive David Nevins to describe the network.)
