Why you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) — ViacomCBS has announced its replacement for CBS All Access — Paramount+ (also called Paramount Plus) — will launch in March 2021. Here’s what you need to know about the streaming service, including where it’ll be available, how much it costs, and what content it’ll feature. What is Paramount+? Paramount+ is a rebranding of CBS All Access, a live TV subscription service that CBS launched in 2014. It combined content from the CBS network as well as live streaming programming via 150-plus local affiliates, including NFL games. It also had original series. Paramount+ will add properties from the newly combined ViacomCBS network, including Paramount, Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, and Comedy Central. CBS All Access reportedly has 8 million to 9 million subscribers in the US, so it’s nowhere near the size of Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, or even Hulu. ViacomCBS is likely hoping that, with the re-launch of Paramount+, it can successfully play catch-up to the competition. Last year, ViacomCBS CEO Bob Bakish said the Paramount movie studio and brand are «beloved by consumers all over the world».
