In preparation for its launch on 11 August 2021, Paramount Plus Australia has offered a glimpse of the TV shows and movies arriving on the service.
Paramount Plus Australia shows off series and movies in new trailer
Next month on the 11th of August 2021, Paramount Plus—the lovechild of the recently merged ViacomCBS—will replace the woeful 10 All Access app, bringing with it a new selection of originals and a big stable of TV shows and movies from Showtime, Paramount Pictures, CBS and more. Thanks to a new trailer for the service, we've got a bit more clarity around the kind of TV shows and movies that will be heading to the service when it launches.
Most of what's shown in the trailer above is more or less what we expected to see but there are some big TV shows missing, like The Good Wife and its spin-off The Good Fight as well as CBS All Access originals like Star Trek: Discovery, Picard and Star Trek Lower Decks (none of which every streamed on 10 All Access for what it's worth).
The list of TV shows and movies is a little underwhelming but it's still a huge improvement on 10 All Access. Here's a quick rundown of the TV shows and movies shown in the trailer.
