In 2022, there are plenty of streaming services. We have Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, Hulu, Disney+ Hotstar, and other local services. But guess what, they are not stopping. Viacom CBS, now known as Paramount, has launched the Paramount+ streaming service last year. In addition, they have partnered with the Sky group to expand their reach in Europe.
This expansion also comes with an expansion in the content that is going to be available on the platform, along with major plans for the coming years. A couple of days back, Paramount+ has made a slew of announcements that has got people excited about what is coming.

That is quite a lot and quite big plans for Paramount. They are expanding so many franchises, with new original content being planned as well. While this is very exciting, viewers will be thinking about whether another subscription is really needed. The online streaming platform space has been becoming increasingly crowded in the last decade or so. Customers, faced with many options, have to make a choice if they want to watch their favorite movies and shows.
