Paramount has provided updates regarding its streaming services, Paramount+ and Pluto TV. Initial information detailed the subscription structure for Paramount+ in the United States, which includes an ad-supported ‘Essential’ tier and an ad-free ‘Premium’ tier that offers access to local live CBS stations and SHOWTIME content.

Detailed pricing for the U.S. market specifies that the Essential plan is available for $8.99 per month or $89.99 annually and includes advertisements on demand. The Premium tier is priced at $13.99 per month or $139.99 annually; it removes ads from on-demand content, allows for content downloads, and includes all SHOWTIME programming and local live CBS stations. While the Premium tier reduces interruptions, some promotional content, trailers, and live TV breaks may still occur.

Programming updates include Pluto TV’s November launch of channels such as ‘Black Beard Projects’ and ‘Cine Peplum’. For Paramount+, the thriller catalog is expanding in November 2026 with the action thriller ‘Ballistic’, starring Lena Headey, alongside films such as ‘Gone Girl’ and ‘The Hunt for Red October’.
