Talk about the streamer here

Paramount+ is absorbing Showtime, so Showtime will now be titled Paramount+ with Showtime.

And it appears they are raising prices (again?). Per the article below, Paramount+ with the Showtime will go from $9.99 to $11.99 per month; Paramount+ essential tier alone will go from $4.99 to $5.99

Wow, Paramount+ is pulling a Warner Discovery move, canceling 4 shows and removing them from the platform to take advantage of a tax write off. The 4 shows are “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies” after 1 season, animated “Star Trek: Prodigy after 1 season and reversing a 2nd season pickup, competition series “Queen of the Universe” after 2 seasons, and the revived “The Game” after 2 seasons. The article says the 4 shows will begin to be removed next week and other programs are expected to follow
