The summer is behind us, and Paramount+ UK is adding more content subscribers can enjoy at home, so we can now reveal the films and TV shows that will be coming to the streaming service in September.
Some of the notable new additions that are coming next month: American Gigolo, the highly anticipated new drama series starring Jon Bernthal, The Survivalist starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and – for those guilty pleasure enthusiasts out there – a full season of Millionaire Holiday Home Swap.
Paramount+ is a streaming service that offers content from CBS, Showtime and Paramount Pictures, as well as exclusive, original programmes.
Paramount+ costs £6.99/month or £69.90/year in the UK, with a free 7-day trial available to everyone (although there are coupons that can give you a 30-days trial).
The standalone Paramount+ app is available on most (but not all) of the major streaming devices and Smart TVs sold in the UK, and you can sign up either directly via the Paramount+ app/website, or via Amazon Prime Video Channels.
Prime Video Channels require an Amazon Prime subscription, and you then subscribe to Paramount+ on top of that. You will then be able to watch Paramount+ on any device that supports the Prime Video app, not just those with the Paramount+ app.
Sky Cinema customers, who also have Sky Q or Sky Glass, can get Paramount+ for free.

Why isn’t ink master season 14 on Paramount plus UK?
They’re definitely improving!! I’m so glad they’re dropping the new Beavis and Butt-Head episodes in good time also (we usually get them a day after the US) however I hope they continue to drop the remastered episodes too as they’ve released a few (which is awesome!!) but they seemed to have stopped with them now, probably with the new seasons dropping to even them out a little which is fine, though I do hope they complete these as they’re supposed to!! 😊
You’ll be surprised how many people are subscribing to Paramount Plus for Beavis and Butt-Head, it’s a pretty big selling point for them as I’ve seen it a lot 😊
I just hope they drop the old school 90’s Nick shows like they have on the US platform, this seems to be the one people are disappointed in the most from what I can gather, they need to get onto this.
Once they have done that, they’ll definitely be among the best of the new streaming platforms, which slowly but surely they’re getting there, we’ll just have to see how it goes 😊
