Paramount+ with Showtime is no more: What is the name of the streaming service's new ad-free tier?
Paramount+ has long touted its association with Showtime as a selling point for its higher-priced premium tier. However, that is now changing, with the streaming service undergoing a rebrand and dropping the Paramount+ with Showtime tier, and instead simplifying its offerings to the ad-supported Paramount+ Essential, and the ad-free Paramount+ Premium. This isn't because of Showtime content being removed from the service. Rather, a sampling of Showtime's programming has been added to the ad-supported Paramount+ Essential tier, thus diluting the distinction between the two tiers. This is simply a branding change that does not affect the pricing of either the Essential or Premium tier, with Essential still costing $7.99 per month, and Premium still costing $12.99 per month. Furthermore, this change only affects internet streaming, with cable, satellite and live TV services retaining the Paramount+ with Showtime branding. Paramount+ with Showtime first launched in 2022 The streaming service first launched its Paramount+ with Showtime subscription tier in August 2022. The service intended to use the massive, acclaimed library of Showtime content to bolster the value of its higher-tier subscription bracket. In 2023, the streaming service had as many as four subscription tiers. There was Paramount+ Essential, Paramount+ Premium, Paramount+ Essential with Showtime, and Paramount+ Premium with Showtime. This subscription model was greatly simplified in June of that year, resulting in just two subscription tiers: Paramount+ Essential and Paramount+ with Showtime. With the further streamlining that's occurred in June 2025, Showtime content will be available for both the Essential and Premium tiers, although viewers will still need to subscribe to Paramount+ Premium for an ad-free experience and the complete Showtime library. Paramount+ began life as CBS All Access Paramount+ is the media conglomerate Paramount's answer to the streaming boom that was originally spearheaded by pioneers such as Netflix. But the service was originally CBS All Access, the first OTT streaming service launched by an established American broadcast network. CBS All Access would be rebranded as Paramount+ in 2021, in an era were OTT streaming was beginning to eclipse traditional cable and network television as the dominant form service used by viewers. Under this rebranding, Paramount+ has aggressively pursued the production of original exclusives such as MobLand, Tulsa King and Halo.

Tanuj Virwani reveals he wishes to be 'celebrity fixer' to Kangana Ranaut: 'I feel the focus sometimes tends to be more on her private life...'
Tanuj Virwani expressed his desire to help Kangana Ranaut by improving her public image, acknowledging her exceptional talent often overshadowed by controversies. He also stated his contentment with his own life's journey, embracing both successes and failures. Virwani was recently seen in 'Rana Naidu,' while Ranaut prepares for her Hollywood debut in 'Blessed Be The Evil'. Tanuj Virwani recently got candid about stardom, self-reflection, and who he'd help out if given the chance to play fixer. The Rana Naidu actor shared why he'd step in to 'fix' Kangana Ranaut 's public image—despite calling her a phenomenal talent. He also revealed why he wouldn't change a thing about his own life, embracing its ups and downs as part of the journey. In a chat with Bollywood Bubble, Tanuj Virwani was asked which Bollywood actress' life he would fix if he were a fixer. Without hesitation, he named Kangana Ranaut, praising her as a phenomenal actor. He added that while her talent is undeniable, the spotlight often shifts to her personal life and outspoken views, which unfortunately takes away from the recognition she deserves for her craft. When asked what part of his own life he'd want a fixer to fix, Tanuj Virwani said he wouldn't change a thing. He shared that he embraces the highs and lows equally, calling life a rollercoaster journey. For him, every experience—good, bad, or ugly—is worth holding onto, and he wouldn't call on a fixer for anything personal. On the work front, Tanuj Virwani was last seen in Rana Naidu, a crime drama series created by Karan Anshuman. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

Garrett Hedlund: 'Barron's Cove' dad is haunted by the past
1 of 5 | Christian Convery (L) and Garrett Hedlund star in the film, "Barron's Cove," now available on video-on-demand platforms. Photo courtesy of Well Go USA NEW YORK, June 15 (UPI) -- Tulsa King, Country Strong and Friday Night Lights star Garrett Hedlund says that, at the heart of his new crime thriller, Barron's Cove, is a flawed, but loving father with deep sense of self-doubt. "My son was nearing on 2 years old when I read the script," Hedlund, 40, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "What I realized was Caleb's underbelly through the whole film was him wondering if he was enough as a father and I thought it was so tender and so sweet that a man that had done such badness in his life and had this kind of haunted past, made all these mistakes, was so genuinely wondering if he was enough," he said. "We're so familiar with seeing kids wondering if they're enough for their parents, but I don't see as many parents wondering if they're enough for their children." Now available on video-on-demand platforms, the film was written and directed by newcomer Evan Ari Kelman. It follows Caleb (Hedlund), a grieving father with organized crime connections who kidnaps Ethan (Christian Convery), the spoiled boy he believes is responsible for his young son Barron's death. Dante Hale plays Barron, while Hamish Linklater plays Lyle, the local politician who coldly adopts Ethan just to improve his popularity with voters, and Brittany Snow plays Jackie, Caleb's heartbroken ex-wife. Hedlund said he was a fan of Christian's Netflix show, Sweet Tooth, and enjoyed sharing scenes with him, even though most were emotionally intense, with Caleb torturing and terrifying the child to find out exactly what happened to his own. "He's a talented actor. He's got an illuminated future ahead of him. He's been working steadily. He knows his stuff. He's got an arsenal," Hedlund said. "He's got a tool shed of everything that he needs and is well-equipped for any journey, so he and I got to just sit back in between takes and have fun." Christian's tech-obsessed character, however, simply radiated "entitlement" as he is questioned about how Barron ended up tragically tied to train tracks between his school and his home, Hedlund emphasized. "The lack of empathy is very interesting," he said, pointing to how Christian, like some real-life kids, doesn't seem to understand the word "no" or respect others because there are no consequences to his actions. "If you look at it through that moral lens, that a kid in this day and age, in this generation, with screens and monitors and everything, if they're so consumed with that and that's what life is, they have no awareness of the impact of their actions," he added. "To them, there's nothing dissimilar to a video game." No matter what the role is, Hedlund said he tries to give it 100 percent of his effort, then leaves it behind when it's time to move on to the next job. "I had a pretty good idea of what I was doing it for, what attracted me to the film, whose hands I was in and, then, what they would allow me to do. So, I just tried to elevate everything that was on the page," Hedlund said about Barron's Cove. "When you feel like you've done something or relate just a fragment of what a guy like this would express as he's going through such events, you're able to put it down, focus on the next day," he added. "I would struggle more to put it down had I shorted myself on screen every day or been too afraid to express an emotion. But, I love these films and, no matter if it's a thriller, I still always look at it like it's any other drama." Tramell Tillman, Raúl Castillo and Stephen Lang co-star.
