Another streaming service entered the chat in Australia back in August 2021. The same service had launched earlier in the year in the U.S. as a rebrand of CBS All Access, and a similar thing happened here as 10 All Access rebranded to become part of Paramount+.
Paramount+’s partnership deals include renowned brands such as Showtime, BET, CBS, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Smithsonian Channel, Sony Pictures Television and, of course, Paramount Pictures. But we know that, we’ve had the streaming service here for a while. So what’s new?
Subscription tiers, that’s what.
During its 2023 upfronts, Paramount+ announced its plans to expand its subscription offerings in Australia with new tiers.
From Thursday, November 16, the Premium Plan will be launched in Australia, which offers 4K, HDR10, and Dolby Vision formats. Premium subscribers will also be allowed four concurrent streams – standard subscribers have access to two.
Paramount+ also announced it would be introducing an advertising tier in 2024 in select markets – including Australia. More details on that to come.
It doesn’t really come as a surprise that Paramount+ would go the way of other streaming services in offering tiered subscriptions – now that it’s been a good two years since it launched in Australia.
The Paramount+ standard plan is $9.99 a month or you can choose an annual subscription for $89.99 (which rounds out to $7.49 a month).
The newly announced Premium Plan costs $13.99 a month or $124.99 annually.
There’s also a 7-day free trial for new users. You can sign up here.
