“Not another streaming service” is starting to become a common refrain amongst cordcutters with new options popping up every few months. Paramount Plus, however, isn’t exactly a new service but a rebranded and majorly updated one.
CBS All Access was previously known as the home of Big Brother live feeds, Star Trek: Discovery, and all the NCIS episodes you can stomach, while slowly accumulating shows and other content from networks like BET, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, and even the Smithsonian Channel. The amount of content on the service would actually surprise anyone who believes it solely includes CBS shows, which is why it’s no surprise that the name has now been officially changed to Paramount Plus.
Paramount Plus includes all of the content found on CBS All Access as well as a bevy of new shows and movies for subscribers to enjoy. CBS All Access originals like Star Trek: Picard and The Good Fight are now airing on Paramount Plus, soon to be joined by Paramount Plus originals like The Challenge: All-Stars, Behind the Music, Kamp Koral, The Real Criminal Minds, and a revival of BET’s The Game.
How much does Paramount Plus cost?
Despite adding much more content, there was no change in price when the rebranding from CBS All Access to Paramount Plus occured. You can join the Paramount Plus Limited Commercials plan for just $5.99 per month or upgrade to the No Commercials plan for $9.99 per month. Alternatively, choosing an annual plan can save you over 15% extra on the total cost though you’ll have to pay for the entire year up-front.
