5. Start watching Paramount Plus shows and movies

After you’ve set up your compatible devices, there are loads of great films and TV shows in the extensive library of Paramount Plus from sources like Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Television, CBS, Showtime, MTV, Comedy Central, and more. They cover a range of genres, such as comedy, news, horror, family, drama, and science fiction.

Paramount Plus exclusives include favourites like Mayor of Kingstown, Halo, CSI, Big Brother, South Park, and Tulsa King. There’s also content tailored to kids, like Spongebob Squarepants and the Paw Patrol movie, so the whole family can find something they enjoy watching.

It’s not just quality movies and TV shows that the service provides either. Live sport – including The Masters, PGA Tour, and the A-League – is offered for monthly subscription payers. This sets Paramount Plus apart from other most streaming services that only offer series and movies, enticing new customers with a love for live sports.

How many people can watch Paramount Plus at once?

So how many devices can you stream Paramount Plus on? Currently, the streaming app allows up to three devices for simultaneous streams, which means up to three people can watch Paramount Plus shows and movies at the same time.

How much does Paramount Plus cost?

Paramount Plus is one of the most affordable streaming services in Australia. Once your time’s up on the free trial, you’re faced with two ways of paying. You can either opt for the monthly subscription or the annual subscription.

The monthly subscription comes in at $8.99 per month. It’s a no lock-in contract and you’ll get access to the 20,000+ hours of content on Paramount Plus. If you think you’ll be wanting the streaming TV platform for a while, however, you’ll want to choose the annual subscription plan.

At $89.99 per year, you’ll save two months worth of fees. Again, it’s a no lock-in contract and you’ll get access to everything Paramount Plus has to offer, including HD streaming on up to 3 devices.
