Paramount+, the streaming service from Paramount Global, will arrive in Italy on September 15 with over 8.000 hours of content spanning all genres at launch, including a wide range of exclusive programming, at the competitive price of €7.99 per month. “Paramount+ is rapidly expanding its global footprint, offering audiences worldwide an unbeatable content slate, with the biggest stars and most compelling global and local stories all together on one platform. Italy not only has an incredible production history, from cult movies to TV series, but it is also a key market for the global expansion of Paramount+. This launch, followed by Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France in the coming months, will bring Paramount+ to all major European markets by the end of the year,” said Marco Nobili, Executive Vice President and International General Manager of Paramount+.
Starting from mid-September, Italian audiences will have access to global titles and original Italian productions, as well as access to a vast library of premium content. Paramount+ original titles include “Tulsa King,” “The Offer,” “1883,” “1923,” and “Halo.” In addition to global content, Paramount+ will offer locally sourced premium programs that will also debut in other countries where the service is present.
