• All Access is going to see an upgrade this summer
• All Access expanding into other markets

CBS All Access Relaunches As Paramount+ In March

This morning, ViacomCBS announced Paramount+ will launch in the U.S. on Thursday, March 4, 2021. This new subscription streaming service will replace CBS All Access and become the home of Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Short Treks, Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Lower Decks. New shows such as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds—which goes into production in early 2021—will also launch as Paramount+ original series.

Paramount+ will include library and original content from across ViacomCBS including Paramount Network, MTV, VH1, BET, Comedy Central, Smithsonian, and Nickelodeon, as well films from the Paramount library. Paramount+ is being positioned to take on streaming services from ViacomCBS’ rivals like NBCUniversal’s Peacock, WarnerMedia’s HBO Max, and Disney+.

More details on Paramount+ will be revealed during an investor event on February 24, 2021.
