  Saaaaaalutations! If you thought Paramount+ nabbing Sylvester Stallone to star in Tulsa King said something about what television had become, hear this out: Tulsa King has a New Orleans-set spinoff in development, aptly titled NOLA King , and it’s set to star Samuel L.

A Paramount+/Showtime Bundle is FINALLY Launching This Month

Posted by on

With Paramount+ becoming more of a priority for ViacomCBS, it questions why they bother keeping Showtime and BET+ separate. But it seems that they are about to change it up a little.
ViacomCBS is launching a brand new Paramount+ and Showtime bundle later this month.

No price has been revealed. Though ViacomCBS currently offers Showtime as an add-on to Paramount+ subscriptions, making the combined cost $13.99 with ad-supported Paramount+ $18.99 with an ad-free Paramount+ plan.

This bundle may lead up to Paramount+ integrating Showtime fulling into the service as an add-on previously stated at the investor event back in February and if this is successful, BET+ maybe next to do this.
What do you think about the new Paramount+/Showtime bundle?
