Mount in Berlin

Paramount held a blue carpet event at the UCI Luxe in Berlin to celebrate the launch. And one of the stars that came along was Anson Mount, from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Mount walked the blue carpet with the top brass from the company, including Paramount Global’s president and CEO of streaming Tom Ryan, and the president and CEO of international markets Pam Kaufman.

SkyShowtime launching in Balkans next

With the latest launches, Paramount+ is now available in the biggest markets, covering over half the total population of Europe. For the rest of the continent, Paramount Global has partnered with Comcast on a new service called SkyShowtime. The service offers a selection of Star Trek content, but not everything that is available on Paramount+. SkyShowtime includes Strange New Worlds and Prodigy, but not Discovery (see our previous report for more details).

SkyShowtime is already available in the Nordic countries, the Netherlands and Portugal. On December 14th it launches in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia. In February it rolls out to Albania, Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. A launch in Spain and Andora will come later in 2023. The service is available direct-to-consumer via the SkyShowtime app across Apple iOS, tvOS, Android devices, and through the website: www.skyshowtime.com.

Paramount+ coming to India next

Paramount+ has now been launched in 45 markets around the world. The streaming service is now available across the Americas, the Caribbean, Australia, and Europe. For now, the only market in Asia with Paramount+ is South Korea, but the company has already announced plans to launch in India in 2023, and plans for additional expansion across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
