Need Something New To Watch? Paramount+ Is Adding Six International Shows This Fall
Paramount+ is adding new scripted content from its international partners this year, expanding the opportunities to watch great content worldwide. The streaming service has aired global content before and recently launched Paramount Television International Studios to produce more content outside the U.S.
The six shows—from South Korea, Latin America, and the U.K.—will help Paramount+ air new scripted content during the writers’ and actors’ strikes, which have stopped all studio productions. The hope is that viewers will stick around to watch the new content on Paramount+, even if it’s not traditional Paramount programming like NCIS and Yellowstone.
