Streamingtjenesten Paramount+ lanceres i Danmark den 25. marts. Der produceres nye Star Trek- og Frasier-serier samt andet unikt indhold, og der streames i op til 4K Dolby Vision. Dansk pris bliver 59 kr/md.
Opdateret kl. 08.19: Den danske abonnementspris bliver 59 kr/md. Tabellen indeholder nu også bekræftet indhold for Danmark.
Indholdet på Paramount+
ViacomCBS præsenterede i nat nyt om Paramount+, som bliver global konkurrent til Disney+, HBO og Netflix. Danmark har hidtil haft en begrænset udgave af Paramount+, som har været låst til tv-distributører, men med lanceringen i marts bliver det en fuld tjeneste med egne apps.
- "Built from an iconic portfolio of beloved consumer brands and iconic franchises like SpongeBob and Star Trek, Paramount+ is a compelling and differentiated streaming offering for all audiences. In combination with Pluto TV and Showtime, the service will further strengthen our robust linked streaming ecosystem, giving us a critical competitive advantage as we pursue our goal of reaching consumers across every platform, at every price point, with creativity, content and experiences that are second to none," sagde Tom Ryan, President og CEO, ViacomCBS Streaming.
Der produceres nyt originalt indhold baseret på bl.a. Star Trek, Frasier, Halo, Criminal Minds, The Italian Job og Yellowstone. De bliver såkaldte 'Paramount+ Originals', ligesom Netflix producerer eget indhold.
Resten af indholdet kommer fra bagkatalogerne i filmstudiet Paramount Pictures samt CBS, MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon og Smithsonian. I Danmark vil også Showtime, der kendes for bl.a. Dexter, Ray Donovan, The Affair og Black Monday, blive flettet ind i Paramount+. I USA fortsætter Showtime som særskilt tjeneste.
Paramount+ stiller desuden nye Paramount-film som A Quiet Place Part II, Top Gun: Maverick, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Transformers 7 og Mission: Impossible 7 i udsigt. I USA vil filmene komme på Paramount+ noget tid efter biografpremieren og man har sågar lavet aftale med MGM om Creed III og 007: No Time to Die, men forholdene for Danmark er stadig uklare.
Flatpanels arbejder på at fange danske repræsentanter for Paramount+ til en nærmere snak om de lokale forhold.
Med lanceringen af Paramount+ vil ViacomCBS begynde at trække indhold hjem, hvilket betyder, at danske tjenester og kanaler må vinke farvel til noget af deres indhold. Ved lancering vil der være en overgangsfase, hvor noget indhold stadig er bundet op på eksisterende aftaler mens andet indhold såsom sport og nyhedsudsendelser vil variere mellem regioner. Der vil derfor være forskelle mellem det danske og amerikanske katalog.
Streaming i op til 4K Dolby Vision
Paramount+ bliver tilgængelig på Smart TV, mediebokse, PC'er, mobilenheder, spilkonsoller og via partnere. Det bekræftes, at man har aftale med Apple, Amazon og Google, hvilket konkret indebærer Apple TV og Android TV. Der loves streaming i op til 4K-opløsning med Dolby Vision HDR. Lyd i Dolby Atmos blev ikke nævnt.
- "We've set a goal of 65-75M global streaming subscribers by the end of 2024, the majority of which we expect to come from Paramount+," sagde selskabet.
65-75 mio. abonnenter verden over ved udgangen af 2024 vil betyde, at Paramount+ må spejde langt efter de direkte konkurrenter. Netflix har nået 200 mio. og Disney+ nærmede sig 100 mio. ved udgangen af 2020.
I Danmark bliver abonnementsprisen 59 kroner per måned.
To lister over bekræftet indhold på Paramount+ fremgår nedenfor. Først udmeldingen fra den danske afdeling, dernæst udmeldingen fra hovedkontoret.

Yellowstone Spinoff, 6666 (Working Title) – founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing… The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world class cowboys are born and made.
