Goodbye, CBS All Access.

Sarah Tew/CNET





 launched in March as the replacement for CBS All Access, with a big library of shows and movies, plus exclusive originals and some sports. But Paramount Plus doesn't have the single show most associated with the Paramount name: . The first three seasons of the cowboy drama are streaming only on rival service , and new episodes of the fourth season are available only on the Paramount Network app and website (which is different from Paramount Plus -- yeah, it's complicated). 
Down the line, though, Paramount Plus will have exclusive Yellowstone spinoffs, like the prequel titled 1883 that's expected later this year.

Unlike streaming services such as and ,  sometimes streams new theatrical movies the same day they hit cinemas.  was released that way earlier this year, and will be available to stream on Paramount Plus on Wednesday, the same day it hits theaters. 

Paramount has pledged to make some of its big-screen movies available to stream after they spend 30 to 45 days in theaters, a much quicker turnaround than before the COVID-19 pandemic. was among the movies on this track.  is supposed to stream next summer on a similar schedule after hitting cinemas in May.

Paramount Plus has also promised to debut 36 original series this year. Among those originals are a revival of 1990s sitcom  and reboots of Nickelodeon's and iCarly to tap millennial nostalgia. A new studio dedicated to the concept, founded by the original cartoon's creators, will produce a range of programming, including a . 
















Like Disney Plus, HBO Max, , Peacock,  and others that came before it, Paramount Plus hopes its particular recipe of TV shows, movies and originals will hook you on its vision for TV's future. For you, these so-called  affect how many services you use -- and, often, must pay for -- to watch your favorite shows and movies online. 
Why is Yellowstone missing from Paramount Plus? 
Before Paramount Plus even launched as the revamp of CBS All Access, parent company ViacomCBS had already struck a licensing deal for Yellowstone with Peacock. That's why the first three season of Yellowstone are on Peacock rather than Paramount Plus, and that's why the fourth season will stream on Peacock eventually too. Peacock hasn't announced the timing that it will begin streaming Yellowstone's fourth season yet, but you can expect that it will be sometime after the season finale concludes on Paramount Network. 

For more info, read . 
How and where can I stream Yellowstone?
The main distinction to understand about streaming Yellowstone is that Paramount Plus is different from Paramount Network, which is where Yellowstone premiered its fourth season Sunday. 

On Paramount Plus, you can't stream Yellowstone -- old episodes or new -- at all. 

Paramount Network is a traditional cable channel available to people who pay for it through a live-TV provider. Paramount Network's shows and movies, including the latest episodes of Yellowstone, are available to stream on the web at paramountnetwork.com or its Paramount Network app. But generally these are available to stream only for those people who are paying for the channel already with one of those live-TV subscriptions, such as cable, satellite or a  like  or . 

One exception: Paramount put the first episode of Yellowstone's fourth season outside its paywall, so anybody is able to stream this episode -- titled Half the Money -- free on Paramount Network's app or website. If you want to watch the second episode of the fourth season, titled Phantom Pain, you'll need to sign up for a pay-TV subscription. (, mentioned above, is one of the cheapest online options to get access to Paramount Network; it also offers a weeklong free trial.)

And if you want to stream the the rest of the episodes of Yellowstone's fourth season as they air, the only place to stream them at first will be on Paramount Network's channel, website or app. And these Yellowstone episodes will be available to stream only for "authenticated" online viewers -- that is, people who can log in with their live-TV service's credentials to prove they're already paying for Paramount Network. 
















If you want to binge previous seasons of Yellowstone, the Paramount Network app and website have those too.

But if you're a cord-cutter or otherwise don't have access to Paramount Network, then you need to go to to stream the first three seasons. The fourth season will stream on Peacock eventually too. Peacock hasn't announced the timing that it will begin streaming Yellowstone's fourth season yet, but you can expect it will be sometime after the season finale concludes on Paramount Network. 

So what does Paramount Plus actually have related to Yellowstone? Eventually, spinoffs. On Dec. 19, Paramount Plus will begin streaming a prequel titled 1883, which focuses on the Dutton family more than a century ago as they move west and establish the Yellowstone Ranch. And on Nov. 14, Paramount Plus will premiere Mayor of Kingstown, a drama series co-created by Yellowstone's creator Taylor Sheridan; while Mayor of Kingstown isn't directly tied to Yellowstone, Paramount Plus is pitching it as a bit of a spiritual spinoff. 
What prices does Paramount Plus charge? What tiers does it have?

Paramount Plus has two tiers. The pricier, premium one costs $10 a month or $100 annually to stream ad-free, a membership that also includes access to your live, local CBS network. Or you can subscribe for $5 a month or $50 annually on a tier with advertising that lacks the live network. 

Some of the programming that's typically broadcast on CBS' network will be made available for $5-tier subscribers -- just not everything. So, for example, a base-tier subscriber will be able to watch live NFL games on Paramount Plus but won't be able to see all of CBS' live sports. A base-tier subscriber won't be able to watch the majority of the programming on the CBS live channel. 

The Paramount Plus premium tier includes the breadth of everything on Paramount Plus, including livestreams of the CBS Network's local channels; though this is an ad-free tier, there will be advertising in the live channels. 

The pricing for Paramount Plus' competitors runs the gamut. 

Among the services that have ad-supported options, is $6 a month with ads and $12 a month ad-free. has a free, limited tier with ads, but you can pay to unlock its full catalog. Those paid, premium Peacock memberships are $5 a month with advertising, or you can upgrade to an ad-free version for $10 a month.

















Netflix, which has no ads, offers its cheapest tier at $9 a month, while its most popular plan is $14.  is $5 a month,  is $8 next month, and  is $15 a month. None of those includes advertising. 
Does Paramount Plus offer a free trial?
Yes, Paramount Plus offers a standard seven-day free trail for new subscribers. After a week, you're automatically charged for either a monthly or yearly subscription, depending on what you signed up for. 
What actually is Paramount Plus? 

 is the subscription streaming-video service that has replaced  All Access.

Generally, Paramount Plus features live news and sports as well as on-demand shows and movies, including originals -- all of which lean into parent company ' brands, like , , , ,  and , plus the  movie studio. It also licenses shows and movies from others to round out its streaming library. 
What if I was previously a CBS All Access member?

Current CBS All Access subscriptions transfer automatically to Paramount Plus. The CBS All Access app flipped to being Paramount Plus through automatic updates. Your subscription doesn't change, and you will continue to pay the same rate you paid before. 

If you subscribe to CBS All Access' ad-free, $10-a-month tier, then you will be able to watch everything on Paramount Plus without ads, as you did before. If you subscribe to CBS All Access' ad-supported, $6-a-month tier, then you also will be able to watch everything on Paramount Plus, but you will be served ads as you were before. 

When Paramount Plus launched its $5-a-month option in June, nothing changed for any legacy CBS All Access members' subscriptions nor for anybody on the previous $6-a-month Paramount Plus plan, so long as they stay active members without changing their plans. 

So what's the difference between the grandfathered $6-a-month tier and the $5-a-month tier of Paramount Plus? The ability to watch your live, local CBS channel is the only difference. If you have the grandfathered, $6-a-month access to Paramount Plus, you will continue to have access to the live channel. If, at any time, you want to save yourself a dollar a month by cutting out your access to the live channel, you can switch your membership to the $5 tier. But you cannot resubscribe at the $6 level to resume access to the live channel once you've made the change.

Beyond that, ViacomCBS said Paramount Plus will have the same "broad distribution" that All Access had. CBS All Access had support on: 
Apple TViPhone and iPadAndroid TVAndroid phone and tabletChromecastAmazon Fire TVPortal TVPlayStation 4Samsung TVVizio TVLG TVRokuXboxXfinity Flex
What product features are included in Paramount Plus? 
Paramount Plus tech features include:















4K/HDR and Dolbyvision premium visual formats are supported for Paramount Plus originals and some Smithsonian content at launch. Paramount Plus doesn't support Dolby Atmos sound for now.Mobile downloads will be available, limited at 25 titles. Separate profiles -- up to six of them -- can keep recommendations and watch history separate among members of your household. CBS All Access also offers tailored kids profiles, so it's likely Paramount Plus will too. The service permits three simultaneous streams allowing multiple people to watch at the same time. What countries have launched Paramount Plus? 

Paramount Plus launched in the US, Latin America and Canada on March 4. It widened to Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland on March 25, 2021. 

In Latin America, hydraclubbioknikokex7njhwuahc2l67lfiz7z36md2jvopda7nchid.onion Paramount Plus arrived initially in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Paramount Plus also widened to Australia with a rebrand and expansion of 10 All Access in 2021. 

A European expansion is expected in 2022, with additional markets to follow. The company hasn't specified dates yet for any of these markets. 
Shows and movies: What will be available to watch on Paramount Plus?
Paramount Plus is set to have a library of more than 30,000 episodes and 2,500 movies, plus 36 original series debuts this year. 

The library on Paramount Plus differs from the one on CBS All Access -- but the latter service's catalog gives a general impression of what to expect. You can check third-party sites like , which track streaming services' catalogs, to get a sense of what's available to watch on CBS All Access for now. Or just check it out with the free trial. 

Paramount Plus programming leans into ViacomCBS' brands and its franchises, including CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Smithsonian, as well as films from Paramount Pictures. But don't expect that everything on every ViacomCBS channel will be available on Paramount Plus -- Yellowstone is a good example of a show that has been licensed elsewhere, and it is off limits for Paramount Plus to stream for a long time. 

At launch, Paramount Plus will introduce The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run for its streaming debut. 

Down the line, it also will stream some new movies from Paramount Pictures 35 to 45 days after they premiere in theaters, while other Paramount flicks will hit the online service as soon as 90 days after they land in cinemas. 

Mission: Impossible 7 and PAW Patrol: The Movie will land on Paramount Plus to stream 45 days after they first hit theaters. That would make Mission: Impossible 7 available to stream on Jan. 3, with the PAW Patrol movie landing on Paramount Plus on Oct. 4. 

Other big-budget movies, like Top Gun: Maverick, will arrive on Paramount Plus in 2022 after longer windows following their theatrical premieres. In addition to the Top Gun reboot, movies like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Transformers 7, Dungeons and Dragons, Scream and Snake Eyes will be on Paramount Plus after their full theatrical runs or, in some cases, after they've gone through home-viewing sales and rentals and even some availability on pay-TV network Epix. 

But the Paramount Plus release plan for theatrical movies isn't as aggressive as that of some other streaming competitors. HBO Max is making all new movies from its Warner Bros. studio this year -- including ,  and  -- available stream  flicks hit theaters, at no added cost to subscribers. 

Paramount Pictures has a deal with Epix to make thousands of legacy movies from a wide variety of studios available on Paramount Plus. Beginning late spring, the service will stream films from franchises like James Bond, Hunger Games, The Addams Family and The Avengers, widening the movie catalog on Paramount Plus to 2,500 titles. 

And MGM's new movies will become available on Paramount Plus after their full theatrical releases and a window of time when they're exclusive to Epix. That includes films like House of Gucci, Creed 3 and the new James Bond film, No Time to Die.

The following are Paramount Plus' own descriptions of the new, original shows and movies it will be introducing to the streaming service:
