Description:
Paramount Plus will now host all of Showtime's TV shows and films, but you'll need to pay extra to watch them.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Your Paramount Plus app is about to get a whole load of new films and TV
shows from Showtime though to watch them youll have to pay extra.

Paramount Plus has gone through a lot of changes since its inception. At first, it wasnt even known as Paramount Plus instead it carried the name CBS All Access and more recently it was announced that the Essential Plan would soon be bundled in with Walmart Plus subscriptions (likely in an effort to bring Amazon Prime down a peg or two).

However the service is about to get another change, as the catalog of content available on the Showtime app will now be streamable through the Paramount Plus app instead.

Unfortunately, this wont be a free upgrade. If you want the privilege of watching Showtimes content youll need to pay $12 per month for the Essential plan (with ads) or $15 per month for Premium (ad-free) both plans will also include Paramount Plus. Yellowjackets is one of the best TV shows on
Showtime, and Season 2 is now on its way to Paramount Plus. (Image credit: Showtime)

But if youre reading this before October 2, 2022, youre in luck as theres a limited-time offer where the bundles will instead only cost $8 and $13 for Essential and Premium respectively. Even once the deal ends in October youll continue to benefit from the cheaper price (until you cancel your plan or Paramount decides to end the special price).

Alternatively, you can keep paying $11 per month to get Showtime on its own, and youll still be able to get Paramount Plus for $5 per month for Essential and $10 for Premium.

Most likely this bundle is an effort to help make Paramount Plus and Showtime appear more appealing following the news that rival streaming services HBO
Max and Discovery Plus will be merging in 2023.

Well have to wait and see if the gamble pays off, but either way Showtime and Paramount fans now have a more convenient way to stream their favorite TV shows and films.
