Paramount+ Launches New Subscription Tiers in the UK and Ireland
Paramount+ will introduce its Premium and Advertising Tiers on 20 November, extending its multi-tier strategy and ad-offering across Europe
This Autumn’s content line-up includes two highly- anticipated new series, LANDMAN and THE AGENCY, as well as the latest seasons of acclaimed titles like YELLOWSTONE and LIONESS
LONDON, Nov.7th , 2024: Paramount+, the global streaming service from Paramount (NASDAQ: PARA, PARAA), will launch two new subscription tiers in the UK and Ireland this month, as part of the ongoing strategy to offer customers a choice of pricing options to enjoy its vast ‘Mountain of Entertainment.’
From 20 November, the ‘Basic (with ads)’ and ‘Premium’ plans will join the ‘Standard’ tier in the UK and Ireland. This will mark the introduction of the ad-supported plan to Europe and extend the Premium plan's availability, following launches in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and France.
The new price structure for the UK and Ireland will create a great value entry point to allow more fans to access the platform and – with the launch of the ‘Premium’ plan – provide enhanced video quality, such as 4K UHD1 and streaming on up to four devices at once.
The ad-supported tier will also give advertisers access to a broad audience and premium content for targeted ad placements and highly engaging marketing opportunities.
The introduction of the new plans comes as Paramount+ debuts brand new and returning hits to the service this Autumn, including
LANDMAN, the latest offering from Taylor Sheridan, starring Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore and Jon Hamm, among others;
LIONESS, starring Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldaña, and more;
THE AGENCY – produced by George Clooney and starring Michael Fassbender & Richard Gere; plus the much-anticipated return of
YELLOWSTONE, alongside UK original series like
STAGS and
INSOMNIA, plus a raft of premium content spanning blockbuster movies, kids’ and family favorites, reality hits and much more.
Marco Nobili, Executive Vice President and International General Manager, Paramount+, said: “Building on the success of our multi-tier strategy in Canada and Australia – where nearly half of our Direct-To-Consumer sign-ups come from a non-Standard plan – we are excited to bring our Premium and ad-supported tiers to the UK and Ireland. Offering choice to our subscribers is key to the growth of Paramount+, especially as the demand for ad-supported tiers rises across Europe.”
Lee Sears, President of International Markets Advertising Sales, Paramount, commented: "By launching the ad-tier plan in the UK and Ireland, we are opening up a huge opportunity for advertisers, giving them the ability to engage with our global franchises, series, and films through our digital platform, EyeQ. This expansion will enable Paramount’s International Advertising team to represent a much wider range of products, while providing a comprehensive and connected platform for impactful ad campaigns.”
