Paramount Plus Australia Guide: Price, Content, Launch


A new player has hit the streaming market, with Paramount Plus Australia available now for $8.99 per month. The new streaming platform will replace the existing streaming service 10 All Access and join Netflix, Binge, Stan and Amazon Prime Video in a dominating sector. The latest streaming service will bring a new wave of entertainment Down Under, from new faces and some of your old favourites.

We’ve got all the details bout Paramount Plus Australia, including pricing, content, and movies and TV shows available at launch.

What is Paramount Plus?

In simple terms, Paramount Plus is a new streaming video-on-demand (SVOD) service similar to Stan, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It comes by way of Network 10 and ViacomCBS and replaces the existing 10 All Access streaming platform.

The story of Paramount Plus Australia dates back to 2019 when the Viacom-CBS merger saw the big movie business join forces with television icon CBS. The Paramount+ launch was initially subdued, however, gathered major pace when the media entity unveiled a teaser trailer during this year’s Superbowl.

Where things get interesting for Australians is in the wealth of new programs. While 10 All Access has historically failed to deliver the goods, Paramount Plus offers a new range of series and movies from some of the biggest names in the business. The overarching goal is to bring content from the various properties under the wider ViacomCBS banner, such as Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and MTV together under one roof.

Paramount Plus Australia Price

  • $8.99 per month, or $89.99 per year
  • 7-day free trial
  • No tiered system for subscription

Paramount+ will cost $8.99 a month when it launches. At that figure, the new streaming service is set to be cheaper than the most basic subscriptions for Netflix ($10.99), Stan ($10), Disney+ ($11.99) and Foxtel Now ($25). That being said, it is more expensive than Amazon Prime, which costs $6.99 a month.

In the US, Paramount Plus has two plans. The first is a cheaper option with limited commercials, priced at USD$5.99, while the other is a premium commercial-free tier that costs USD$9.99. ViacomCBS has not outlined any plans to introduced the two-tier system to Paramount Plus Australia as of yet.

The good news is that Paramount Australia offers a seven-day free trial, which you can score here. After that first week, subscribers will be charged $8.99 for their first month as a customer or $89.99 upfront for the year, depending on which plan you choose. Here’s how it compares to other streaming services in Australia.

Paramount Plus Content

Like many other streaming services on the market, a major drawcard for Paramount+ is the wealth of new original content slated to premiere on the platform. A recent press release from Paramount Plus suggested “over 20,000 episodes and blockbuster movies” would be coming this year and we’ve put together the full list of content available on the platform today.

In terms of new original productions, ViacomCBS has already outlined plans for big-budget productions, including The Offer. The 10-part drama miniseries details producer Al Ruddy’s experience creating The Godfather. In a shocking twist, the series has already faced contention with lead Armie Hammer forced to step down after a series of abuse allegations came to light.

Aside from that, reports have suggested a true-crime series based on the drama Criminal Minds is in the works, as is Lioness, a new series from the creator of Yellowstone.  The spy series follows a young CIA recruit on a mission to befriend the daughter of a terrorist group leader to take down the organisation from within.

Paramount Plus Australia is also set to bring some of the biggest channels together under one roof, however, it might not be for some time. ViacomCBS’ subsidiaries include Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and MTV, so we are likely to see new original productions from those banners emerge in the near future.

Paramount Plus Series Content

Movies on Paramount Plus

While the television aspect is firmly grounded in CBS’ domain, the feature film boon is being driven by Paramount Pictures. As the name would suggest, Paramount Plus has scored first dibs on all new movies under the banner, and currently, there are 349 movies available on the streaming platform.

Existing Paramount Pictures films are unlikely to be platform exclusive, meaning if it’s currently on Netflix, it will probably stay there. This is in stark contrast to Disney+, which ripped all its content from other streaming platforms prior to launching its own service.

While there are far too many movies available on Paramount Plus Australia to list here, some existing films make their return, here are the movies you should watch right now. A full list of movies is available via Findershopping.com.au.

Paramount Plus Australia Launch

Paramount Plus Australia launched on 11 August 2021. The platform brings a wide range of exclusives to Australia, and with geo-blocking in full effect, the addition of the ViacomCBS-backed option is welcomed. The beleaguered 10 All Access platform is replaced by a far more developed offering with a competitive price point and an extensive catalogue of features that many other streaming services simply can’t offer.

“Viewers of streaming services want strong content and for it to be replenished,” ViacomCBS’s head of Australian content Bev McGarvey told SMH. “We have our own content … third-party content and local content. So that’s what makes us special. We’re not expecting for one minute that people will unsubscribe from Netflix. But we know Australians love their streaming services and have the appetite for a few.”
