For a few bucks more, you can get Paramount Plus Premium at $12.99 a month, which adds Showtime's entire library, additional live sports coverage like March Madness and the PGA tour, and the option to stream in 4K, Dolby Vision, and HDR10 on select titles. You also won't have to sit through ads except during select live TV broadcasts. Paramount Plus offers plenty of original programming like the "Yellowstone" spin-off "1883," the critically acclaimed "MobLand" series starring Tom Hardy (which just got renewed for a second season), and tons of "Star Trek" spin-offs.

Paramount Is One Step Closer to Ditching the Showtime Brand Entirely
Stop us if you've heard this one before: Paramount+ is undergoing a name change. Well, sort of. Paramount+ on Tuesday announced that its ad-free tier, previously rebranded in January 2023 as Paramount+ With Showtime, will henceforth be known as… Paramount+ Premium. It will remain $12.99/month, and continue to offer full access to Showtime's slate of originals, which include The Chi, Dexter: Resurrection and Yellowjackets. More from TVLine MobLand Renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+ Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to End With Season 5 at Paramount+ SkyMed Renewed for Season 4 - Who on the Cast Is Confirmed to Return? Now, here's where things get unnecessarily confusing: The Showtime cable network was also renamed Paramount+ With Showtime in 2023. But rather than go back to just being known as Showtime, the network will retain the Paramount+ With Showtime moniker — at least until Paramount inevitably decides to sunset the Showtime brand entirely. Because we all know that's coming. The Paramount+ With Showtime minus 'With Showtime' news comes six weeks after Warner Bros. Discovery revealed that two years after it rebranded as Max, its streaming service will once again be called HBO Max later this summer. Because time is a flat circle. And it'd be too easy just to call it HBO. Surely, you have snark—err, thoughts to share about the Paramount+ Premium rebrand (why not just call it CBS All Access again?!?) so have at it!

Paramount Plus with Showtime is getting a rebrand
'Paramount Plus with Showtime' has always been one of the more awkward bits of branding to come out of the streaming era, but soon subscribers will know the tier by another name. This week Paramount informed Paramount Plus subscribers that Paramount Plus with Showtime — the platform's most expensive tier that features Showtime programming and minimal ads — will now be referred to as 'Paramount Plus Premium.' The renamed tier will still cost $12.99 per month or $119.99 per year. Paramount Plus Premium will also still offer Showtime's series and catalog of films, but it won't feature the TV network's name. 'Since we recently introduced a sampling of Showtime programming to the Essential plan, the Premium plan name reflects the broad and diverse offerings across both plan tiers,' Paramount said in a support post about the new tier name. 'Showtime programming remains an important part of Paramount+, and is still prominently represented on the service!' The clunkiness of the 'Paramount Plus with Showtime' branding felt like a reflection of the rockiness that marked Showtime's integration into Paramount Plus and the subsequent shutdown of Showtime's standalone streaming service. Paramount executives warned employees about potential layoffs after CEO Bob Bakish first announced plans for a merger with Showtime back in 2023. Several Showtime series were cancelled or halted as a result of the deal, and by the following year, the new service had already gone through two price hikes. As strong as the Showtime brand is, 'Paramount Plus Premium' is definitely a better name. That said, coming so soon after Warner Bros. Discovery's recent decision to pivot back to HBO Max, Paramount's latest move feels very much like a response to the competition. None of us ever called it 'Max, the one to watch,' and WBD was right to stop trying to make that happen. But it's a little wild to see Paramount downplaying its connection to one of the networks that really helped bring cable TV into its own.
