Paramount Plus Content Heads to TV2 Play in Denmark
Danish broadcaster TV2 has signed a deal with ViacomCBS’s SVoD service Paramount+ in which its streaming platform TV2 Play will carry the latter’s content.
From July 1, the Paramount+ content will be available free of charge on TV2 Play for one month, after which it can be purchased as a subscription add-on called P+.
The deal includes more than 6,000 movies and TV episodes in the children’s, drama, reality, comedy and documentary genres, from ViacomCBS brands Nickelodeon, Showtime, Comedy Central, MTV, CBS and Paramount Studios, as well as Paramount+ original productions.
“Foreign content is an important supplement to the Danish content on TV2 Play, where we have to satisfy many different needs. The partnership with Paramount+, together with TV2’s own content and the content from our other partnerships, ensures there is something for everyone at TV2 Play,” said Lotte Lindegaard, TV2’s content director.
The news comes as ViacomCBS is expanding the reach of Paramount+ globally.
Official TV2 press release:
Paramount+ rykker ind på TV 2 PLAY
Indholdet fra Paramount+ bliver tilgængeligt på TV 2 PLAY fra 1. juli og kan i første omgang ses af alle TV 2 PLAYs direkte kunder kvit og frit i juli måned, hvorefter indholdet vil kunne tilkøbes som et tilvalgsprodukt til en fordelagtig pris.
03-05-2021
TV 2 indgår endnu et strategisk partnerskab, der øger udbuddet af internationale film, serier, reality, børneindhold, comedy og dokumentarer på TV 2 PLAY.
Overskriften på TV 2s nye koncernstrategi er 'TV 2 PLAY til alle', og nu styrker TV 2 det i forvejen stærke indholdstilbud på TV 2 PLAY med endnu et strategisk partnerskab. Det nye samarbejde giver TV 2 PLAYs kunder mulighed for at købe adgang til Paramount+, der byder på masser af film, serier, reality, børneindhold, comedy og dokumentarer.
- Det udenlandske indhold er et vigtigt supplement til det danske på TV 2 PLAY, hvor vi skal tilfredsstille mange forskellige behov, og samtidig ved vi også, at for eksempel udenlandsk fiktion er efterspurgt af langt flere end blot de særligt interesserede. Derfor er vi rigtig glade for partnerskabet med Paramount+, der sammen med TV 2s eget indhold og indholdet fra vores andre partnerskaber sikrer, at der er noget til alle på PLAY, siger Lotte Lindegaard, indholdsdirektør på TV 2.
Paramount+ i tilvalgsprodukt
Indholdet fra Paramount+ bliver tilgængeligt på TV 2 PLAY fra 1. juli og kan i første omgang ses af alle TV 2 PLAYs direkte kunder kvit og frit i juli måned, hvorefter indholdet vil kunne tilkøbes som et tilvalgsprodukt til en fordelagtig pris.
- Med Paramount+-partnerskabet får vi på TV 2 PLAY i endnu højere grad et komplet streamingprodukt, hvor vores kunder kan finde et stærkt, samlet indholdstilbud. Aftalen med Paramount+ styrker PLAYs position i markedet, og vi er tilfredse med, at vi har fundet en samarbejdsmodel, hvor Paramount+ bliver en tilkøbsmulighed til en fordelagtig pris. Det styrkede værditilbud og fleksibiliteten for vores kunder vil bidrage til at levere på vores ambitiøse mål om yderligere vækst i de kommende år, siger Stig Møller Christensen, salgsdirektør for TV 2 Betalings-tv.
Mere end 6.000 film og episoder i 2021
Køber man tilvalgsproduktet med Paramount+ på TV 2 PLAY, får man adgang til et væld af underholdning og ikoniske programmer for folk i alle aldre i form af cirka 6.000 episoder og film. Paramount+ byder på unikke programmer fra SHOWTIME®, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, CBS og Paramount Studios samt Paramount+ originalproduktioner, unikke dramaserier og film og en blanding af globalt og lokalt premium-indhold inden for flere genrer.
- Vi er meget begejstrede for vores nye strategiske samarbejde med TV 2 PLAY. Vi ser frem til at bringe unikke historier, ikoniske stjerner og et bjerg af underholdning ud til seere i alle aldre og har stor tiltro til, at TV 2 kommer til at sælge en masse Paramount+-abonnementer til TV 2 PLAYs kunder, siger Jesper Dahl, General Manager Nordics for ViacomCBS, der står bag Paramount+.
Flere partnerskaber og nye sportsrettigheder
I oktober 2020 annoncerede TV 2 sit nye partnerskab med Nordisk Film, der giver TV 2 PLAYs kunder adgang til dansk kvalitetsindhold fra børneuniverset Oiii. Det var også i 2020, at TV 2 PLAYs kunder fik adgang til hayu og en række af verdens største realityserier. Sidst, men ikke mindst blev der føjet en række nye sportsrettigheder og en ny sportspakke inklusive TV 2 SPORT X til udvalget på TV 2 PLAY. TV 2s streamingtjeneste rundede 700.000 abonnenter i 2020, hvilket svarer til, at godt halvanden million danskere har adgang til TV 2 PLAY.
Mere om indholdet i Paramount+-pakken:
Paramount+ tilbyder Premium Paramount+ Originals og eksklusive serier som for eksempel alle sæsoner af No Activity med optrædener fra talenter som Will Ferrell, Bob Odenkirk og Dylan McDermott. Alle tre sæsoner af Yellowstone er tilgængelige, og den fjerde sæson er på vej. Two Weeks to Live, The Twilight Zone, Everyone is Doing Great, Mirage, The Coroner, For Heaven's Sake og Dani Who? er blandt de andre populære serier, man kan finde på Paramount+. Den nye sæson af MTVs reality-hit, The Hills: New Beginnings, der har premiere i maj, vil også være med i kataloget, ligesom Brooklyn-komedien Flatbush Misdemeanors fra SHOWTIME®, der har premiere i juni, vil kunne ses på Paramount+.
Paramount+ byder også på det store drama The First Lady, instrueret af danske Susanne Bier med Oscar®-, Emmy®- og Tony®-vinderen Viola Davis i hovedrollen som den tidligere førstedame Michelle Obama og som executive producer. Derudover byder Paramount+ også på The reboot of Dexter, Halo, The Man Who Fell To Earth og American Rust.
2021-kataloget inkluderer også South Park, Broad City, Geordie Shore, Dexter, Ray Donovan, Billions, The Affair, Black Monday og City on a Hill. Alle sæsoner af Frasier er også tilgængelige, når Paramount+ rykker ind på TV 2 PLAY.
For børn og børnefamilierne er der også nye, originale børneserier fra Nickelodeon Animation Studio: Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years [Korallejren: SvampeBobs underår], PAW Patrol og Trouble. Den danske Paramount + Original-produktion Hunden Ib sæson 2 har premiere senere på sommeren.
Filmelskere kan nyde hundredvis af spændende titler, herunder nye film som The Outpost med Scott Eastwood og Orlando Bloom, Come Away med Angelina Jolie i hovedrollen, Ken Loachs gribende britiske drama Sorry We Missed You samt thrilleren 21 Bridges. Paramount + er også hjemsted for mange af de ikoniske og tidløse film som Francis Ford Coppolas The Godfather Trilogy, den klassiske og populære musical Grease, Steven Spielbergs meget roste Indiana Jones-serie, Brian De Palmas mesterværk The Untouchables, og endnu flere klassikere dukker op på Paramount+ i løbet af året.

Paramount Plus to Debut New 'iCarly' Series in June 2021
Wake up the members of my nation! Paramount+ will premiere the streaming platform's iCarly revival series in June 2021! ViacomCBS announced the news today (May 06) during the company's Q1 2021 earnings call.
Follow NickALive! on Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, via RSS, on Instagram, and/or Facebook for the latest Nickelodeon Upfront 2021 and iCarly News and Highlights!
Originally announced in December, the 13-episode season picks up nearly 10 years after the original show ended, and finds Carly Shay, the original influencer, and her friends navigating work, love and their family in their twenties. Production on the new iCarly series commenced earlier this year in Los Angeles.
“Being on the iCarly set has always felt like a second home to me and it’s so awesome to be back with my pals Jerry and Nathan,” said Miranda Cosgrove. “We served up spaghetti tacos over 10 years ago, and I can’t wait to show you what we’re cooking up next with Nickelodeon for Paramount+!”
The new iCarly series will feature two new cast members: Laci Mosley (Florida Girls) as Harper, Carly’s roommate and best friend; and Jaidyn Triplett (The Affair, See) as Millicent, Freddie’s snarky and social media-savvy stepdaughter. Mosley and Triplett will appear alongside returning original series stars, Miranda Cosgrove (Carly), Jerry Trainor (Spencer) and Nathan Kress (Freddie).
Nickelodeon’s original iCarly series, which ran from 2007-2012, followed a group of best friends as they created a webcast for and about kids their age while grappling with everyday problems and adventures. During its initial run, iCarly became a pop-culture staple and regularly broke viewership records among audiences of all ages. The original iCarly series was created by Dan Schneider.
The new iCarly series is produced by Nickelodeon Studios and Awesomeness (To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, Trinkets, PEN15). The pilot is written by Ali Schouten (Diary of a Future President, Champions, Merry Happy Whatever), who also serves as executive producer, and Jay Kogen (Nickelodeon’s School of Rock, The Simpsons, Frasier). Miranda Cosgrove also serves as executive producer, with Jerry Trainor and Alissa Vradenburg serving as producers. The pilot is directed and executive produced by Phill Lewis (One Day at a Time, The Neighborhood).
Production of the new iCarly series for Nickelodeon Studios and Awesomeness is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content, and Zack Olin, Senior Vice President, Live Action.

'Parents Just Don't Understand' Promo | The Barbarian and the Troll | Nickelodeon
The prodigal son returns in the brand new The Barbarian and the Troll episode "Parents Just Don't Understand," premiering Friday, May 7, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT, straight after an all new The Loud House at 7, only on Nickelodeon! Check out the promos below!:
In the brand new The Barbarian and the Troll episode "Parents Just Don't Understand," Evan is forced to return to his parents’ house to secure Trolls Passage on the group’s journey, but it won’t be easy since he already burned that bridge. (#106)
From The Beat:
EXCLUSIVE CLIP: No “trolls before tolls” in new episode of THE BARBARIAN AND THE TROLL
New episode airs this Friday, May 7, at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT)
Since premiering last month, Nickelodeon’s new puppet comedy series The Barbarian and the Troll has been a ratings hit posting double-digit year-over-year gains with Kids 2-11 (1.4/271K, +17%) and was the number-two telecast for the week with Kids 6-11 (1.3/153K, +30%). The Beat is proud to preview an exclusive clip from this Friday’s new episode.
As viewers will recall, Evan the peppy troll renounced his life as a troll bridge in pursuit of his musical dreams after literally burning his bridge. Naturally, Evan’s father the Troll King didn’t take too kindly to it so you can imagine the awkward family reunion when Evan has to see his parents again. He’ll have to “troll up” if he wants to help his friends continue their quest.
Before that, however, Evan encounters an old friend (Doug from health class) who informs him that Evan is unsurprisingly persona non grata to all trolls in the land of Gothmoria.
Watch an exclusive preview clip from the episode “Parents Just Don’t Understand” below and be sure to tune in Friday, May 7, at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT) when the episode airs.
If you missed the first episode, never fear for Nickelodeon has released the first episode for free on its YouTube channel that you can watch right here.
"Evan is forced to return to his parents’ house to secure Trolls Passage on the group’s journey, but it won’t be easy since he already burned that bridge.
From co-creators and executive producers Mike Mitchell and Drew Massey, The Barbarian and the Troll follows Evan (Drew Massey), a bridge troll in search of adventure, and Brendar (Spencer Grammer), a fierce female warrior on a quest to defeat the evil demon who has imprisoned her brother.
Joining Massey as puppeteers and voice talent are Colleen Smith, Allan Trautman, Sarah Sarang Oh, Nicolette Santino, Peggy Etra, James Murray and Jeny Cassady. The series also features the voice of comedian Gina Yashere."

'TMNT' and 'Star Wars' Toy Crossover Concept Art Reveals Cool Action Figures That Didn't Happen
Old concept art for a series of 1990s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Wars crossover toys has been unearthed, and the designs are wild.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Wars were two of the biggest names in toys in the early 1990s, and some newly unearthed concept art has revealed the designs of some wild crossover toys that sadly never saw production. For franchises so long-running and prolific in pop culture, there are bound to be loads of planned but cancelled “what if projects.” The opportunity to see what might have been, however, is rarer.
Much of Star Wars’ early success was tied to its early toys from Kenner Products, who also produced Real Ghostbusters toys. The first film’s rich, unique world of aliens and starships lent itself naturally to merchandising, and Star Wars toys quickly became some of the hottest items on the market. While TMNT never quite reached the same height of popularity as Star Wars, it developed a high level of success in its own right by the early ‘90s, expanding from comic books into movies, cartoons, toys, and more.
Newly revealed concept art has shown a pitched line of TMNT and Star Wars crossover toys that never ended up being made. Shared to Twitter by Warner Bros. Games’ Alan Johnson, the concept images show some crazy fusions of the two universes, including A Luke Skywalker/Leonardo figure with a lightsaber katana, a Michelangelo/Chewbacca hybrid with a bowcaster made of nunchaku, and cyborg Shredder/Darth Vader. According to Johnson, the designs were pitched in 1991 after the Kenner/Hasbro Star Wars license lapsed. Check out the toys below:
Back in (I think) 1991, Kenner/Hasbro allowed the #StarWars toy license to lapse. Playmates made a pitch to get it, complete with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover concepts by TMNT artist Michael Dooney.
— Alan Johnson (@TheAlanJohnson) May 4, 2021
They didn't get the license, but these are so cool! pic.twitter.com/29FSeAmhIO
Here are some versions of that Star Wars x TMNT concept art with detail callouts too. pic.twitter.com/S3o5qeqEJB
— Alan Johnson (@TheAlanJohnson) May 4, 2021

High profile crossovers are nothing new in the toy world, but it’s still exciting to see some of the ones that never quite materialized. The fusion of characters is particularly bizarre, and the results are both baffling and oddly compelling. Shredder as a Sith Lord is perhaps the most natural combination of the bunch, given that Darth Vader’s suit was largely based on Japanese samurai armor, and that both characters are already cybernetic.
The brand power of both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Wars has grown considerably since the '90s. TMNT still undoubtedly has a dedicated following of longtime fans, and the modern Nickelodeon series have introduced the turtles to new generations.
Although fans never got to see the TMNT x Star Wars crossover, we did get a TMNT x Thomas & Friends crossover, with the Heroes in a Half Shell as trains, and TMNT x WWE team ups, with the Turtles reimagined as popular wrestlers.

This new series is three times bigger than the previous SMURFS Papercutz graphic novel series, and what that means is a lot more Smurfs plus other beloved creations by Peyo such as Johan and Peewit, the young page and the court jester; and Benny Breakiron, the super-powered little boy. Join Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy Smurf, Hefty Smurf, and so many smurfy others for fun and adventure in the comics that inspired the cartoons, toys, and Nickelodeon series. But be careful, Gargamel, Azrael, and trouble never seem to be too far behind! Exclusive Original Material Rating: All-Ages
