Paramount Plus UK: What you need to know

According to a tweet from the company, British audiences will be able to indulge in Paramount Plus offerings beginning summer 2022. Everything you've come to expect from the service in the states will also be available in the UK.

For those who cannot turn their attention away from Netflix, Paramount Plus offers selections from CBS, Nickelodeon, BET, MTV, Comedy Central and the Smithsonian Channel, and even live TV.

It's home to movies such as the horror hit A Quiet Place, the Mission Impossible action series and so much more. For the millennials who feel the need to reacquaint themselves with '90s Nickelodeon or the South Park canon, this is the perfect opportunity.
