Here we will not have Paramount +. Or if. Let’s explain ourselves. We will not have Paramount + because here the platform will receive another name that can already be seen in other territories in Europe. In Spain, the platform that we will have It will be called SkyShowtime and its arrival date, although not exactly, is set for the first quarter of the year 2023.
Not just Paramount+, but also Universal content
Spain will not be in the first round of SkyShowtime deployments for Europe, as it will already be available this month for some northern European countries. Specifically, we are talking about SkyShowtime will arrive on September 20 in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The Netherlands will welcome the platform before the end of the year, and Spain will already have it in 2023.
Specifically, Spain, Andorra and Eastern Europe are among the deployment plans for the first quarter of 2023, although there is still no specific date. We cannot even know in what month it will occur, although we assume that the information will expand as next year approaches. In the meantime we have to settle for this and knowing that in Finland it will cost 6.99 euros, which means that it is probably the price that it adopts in Spain. HBO Max, its competition, has the same price in both countries.
As we already told in the preview of the arrival of Paramount +, to the credit of the production company we find the rights to many films starring Tom Cruise, like the last ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, but there are many other Paramount products that enjoy great prestige and have not yet been released in our country. Like the series ‘Yellowstone’, for example, created by Taylor Sheridan and starring Kevin Costner and whose premiere here has been expected for several seasons.
At SkyShowtime we will have content from both Paramount and Universal, two of today’s major production companies, and their landing promises the arrival of more than 10,000 hours of content. As for its relationship with the cinema, titles have been released in the United States after 30 and 45 days of its arrival in theaters. Although that is also what HBO Max does and everything indicates that it will change after its merger with Discovery. We’ll see what happens but for now: SkyShowtime for Q1 2023 and possibly 6.99 euros per month.
