Goodbye CBS All Access, Hello Paramount+

Just as CBS All Access was finallygettinggood , ViacomCBSannouncedtoday it will rebrand the whole thing as Paramount+ in early 2021 .

Are we surprised that yet another media troupe has decided to name its streaming service after a brand followed by the lowly + sign ? Pfft . Of course not . That would require originality . But as our ally at AV Clubpointed out , Paramount+ was already being used for CBS All Access in someinternational market place , so there ’s a degree of efficiency * coughing * laziness * cough * at workplace here too . ViacomCBS does n’t have to pay up anyone to hurt their Einstein think of a unlike coolheaded name , the logo already exists , and Paramount is a widely recognizable name .

preposterously unoriginal name away , Paramount+ is meant to be ViacomCBS ’s Netflix challenger and will feature a mish - mash of both theViacom / CBS catalogue , plus some new original programming . Some of its exclusive show will include Lioness , a spy dramatic event by Yellowstone ’s Taylor Sheridan , and The Offer , a 10 - sequence script series about the qualification of The Godfather . It ’ll also include a rebooted interpretation of MTV ’s Behind the Music , BET ’s The Game , and a truthful - offence docuseries called The Real Criminal Minds that yes , is free-base off CBS Television ’s Criminal Minds . This is on top of previously announced exclusive , like a novel Spongebob Squarepants series and SVOD for The Spongebob Movie : Sponge on the Run .

Regardless of when in other 2021 the rebrand hit , Paramount+ will have a moderately stack stable of content . On top of all the newfangled stuff and nonsense it declare today , CBS All Access currently has original shows like Jordan Peele ’s The Twilight Zone , Star Trek : Picard , Star Trek : Lower Decks , and Emmy - nominate The Good Fight . It ’s also lately beefed up its catalog with more than 20,000 episodes and movies from BET , CBS , Comedy Central , MTV , Nickelodeon , and Paramount Pictures .

That ’s all fine and dandy , but ViacomCBS has said diddly dumpy on price . Right now CBS All Access costs $ 6 a calendar month with ads and $ 10 a month without them . It ’s unclear whether expanded programming and the addition of original exclusives will think a little bump in those fees , and it ’s not clear how prices will differ according to country . It pass away without saying that ViacomCBS will have to be thoughtful in that regard , aswe’re all bone - banal of the streaming subscription state of war .
