Paramount+ has confirmed it will introduce its Premium and Advertising Tiers on 20 November. The two new tiers will join the existing Standard tier in the UK and Ireland.
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.”
The ‘Basic (with ads)’ plan will offer fans full access to Paramount+ for £4.99 per month in the UK and €5.99 per month in Ireland, enabling streaming on one device at a time, in full HD. Priced at £10.99/€11.99 per month, the Premium plan will include 4K UHD, HDR10, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on selected titles. Premium plan subscribers will also be able to stream on up to four devices concurrently, with the option to download content to watch offline.
The price of the existing Standard plan will change to £7.99/€8.99 per month, for ongoing access to the entire content offering on Paramount+, for up to two concurrent streams in full HD1, with the ability to download and watch on the go.
Broadband TV News understands there will be no immediate impact for Sky customers who receive Paramount+ as part of their Sky Cinema subscription.
