Titles which will become available through 2022 in the UK, Ireland, Italy and GSA will include a collection of Paramount+ Originals and new takes on existing franchises including iCarly.

As the international home of Showtime, the service will offer The Man Who Fell to Earth, Ripley, Super Pumped and American Gigolo, in addition to popular titles from ViacomCBS such as Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, Star Trek: Prodigy and MTV Unplugged.

New movie premieres and Paramount Pictures favourites will also be available such as films from the Mission Impossible and Transformer franchises.
