The recent acquisition of 20th Century Fox gives it 20th Century Studios (“The Simpsons”) and the lion’s share of National Geographic content, too.ĭisney+’s updated library of content includes “The Beatles: Get Back” from Peter Jackson Disney’s “Encanto” a new series, “Willow,” that takes place 20 years after the events of the eponymous movie and a new Star Wars series, “Star Wars: Andor.” New original series include “National Treasure: Edge of History,” plus a third season of the popular series “The Mandalorian,” also set in the “Star Wars” universe. Here’s why Disney+ is so compelling: The company owns Lucasfilm (the “Star Wars” franchise), Marvel Studios (“The Avengers,” “Black Panther”), and Pixar (“Toy Story,” “Up”). Total cost: With the Essential tier of Paramount+ onboard, we’ve now spent $5 of our $25 budget, leaving $20.

But the company just announced that it will be raising the the price of Essential from $5 to $6 a month, while the Premier plan goes from $10 to $12 a month. When the rebranded Paramount+ Premium with Showtime launches, it will include all the original Showtime series, which you don’t get with the Essential plan. You can get both plans as part of a bundle with Showtime, Paramount’s premium channel, for either $12 (Essential) or $15 (Premium) a month. The pricier tier also lets you watch shows in 4K HDR (including Dolby Vision), and get mobile downloads. In addition to the advertisements, the other big difference is that you don’t get your live local CBS station (except for NFL games) with the Essential plan. Or you can watch (mostly) ad-free on the Premium plan for $10 a month ($100 if you pay annually). If you can live with a few advertisements, the Essential plan costs only $5 per month ($50 for a year if you pay up front). The new cable network will be called Paramount+ With Showtime, while the streaming service becomes Paramount+ Premium With Showtime.Ĭurrently, Paramount+ has two subscription options. The big news for the company is that it will be merging both the Showtime cable channel and the Showtime Now streaming service into Paramount+.
