How much does Paramount Plus cost in Australia?

From $6.99 per month (if you don't mind ads)

Paramount Plus offers monthly and annual subscription options in Australia. The cheapest plan is a $6.99/mth ad-supported tier, while the Standard monthly plan costs $10.99/mth (or $97.99 per year), and the Premium Plan costs $13.99 per month (or $124.99 per year.)

The ad-supported tier offers HD streaming on just one device. We're firm believers that dealing with ads sort of defeats the purpose of an on-demand streaming service so naturally, we don't recommend this cheaper tier if you can help it. 

Next up on the Standard you'll get 1080p HD streaming and two simultaneous streams with no ads. Or you could opt for the Premium plan. This plan gets you 4K streaming, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos Audio on four devices, which is pretty good value compared to other streaming service prices.

What is Paramount Plus?

Late 2019, the Viacom-CBS merger fused the power of Paramount Pictures and the TV talents of CBS, creating a single media powerhouse, ViacomCBS. With their powers combined, the Viacom and CBS partnership came to a climax when the company revealed its new streaming service, Paramount Plus.

Paramount Plus combines the television shows from CBS with content from the various properties under the wider ViacomCBS banner, including but not limited to Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and MTV. The service also gets its fair share of blockbuster movies like Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, and Fast X.

Standout Comedy Central series like Nathan For You and Detroiters were previously unavailable in Australia for a time but have found a new home on Paramount Plus in Australia.

In addition to those popular TV series, Paramount Plus launched with a small collection of originals created exclusively for the service, including Aussie comedy-drama Five Bedrooms and the SpongeBob SquarePants prequel series Kamp Koral.

While the library may have launched a little light, it's developed a popular range of TV shows in recent years. Here's a small sample of some popular hits exclusive to the service:

  • Dexter: Original Sin
  • The Curse
  • The Gilded Age
  • Matlock
  • Ghosts
  • NCIS: Sydney

Movies on Paramount Plus

Over 400 classics and recent releases available.

While Paramount Plus has gained popularity thanks to its original and exclusive TV shows, its movie collection instead relies on the company's library of classics and recent theatrical releases. 

There are over 400 movies available on Paramount Plus at the time of writing, the most popular of which include Top Gun, The Bridget Jones Diary series, Jurassic Park,, Sonic The Hedgehog and Gladiator. 

Here's a quick look at some of the more recent movies added to Paramount Plus in Australia: 

  • A Quiet Place: Day One
  • One Love
  • Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning
  • Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
  • Cocaine Bear
  • Blackberry
  • Fast X
  • Ferrari

Unlike its TV fare, CBSViacom has maintained its distribution deals with other streaming services. Top Gun, for example, is also available on Binge and Stan, and The Godfather can be streamed on Netflix and Stan too. 

All this is to say that you probably won't be subscribing to Paramount Plus for the movies alone, especially if you're already signed up for a number of streaming services. 

Sports on Paramount Plus

A-League and W-League football matches are streamed live on Paramount Plus.
Soccer/Football on Paramount+

Prior to launch, ViacomCBS revealed an exclusive five-year partnership with the A-League and W-League that would see every match of both leagues streamed live on the paid Paramount Plus service. On free-to-air, there is one A-League match every Saturday on Channel 10 and one W-League match every Sunday on 10Bold during regular seasons. Both weekly matches are then syndicated to Network 10's digital catch-up service, 10Play. In addition to the A-League and W-League, Paramount Plus also has the rights to stream Socceroos and Matildas matches.

This makes Paramount Plussomething of a competitor for other Australian sports streaming services, such as Stan Sport, Kayo Sport and Optus Sport.

Answering your questions about Paramount Plus

These are some of the most frequently asked questions about Paramount Plus in Australia.

Is Paramount Plus free with Prime?

Paramount Plus isn't free with Prime, the Amazon subscription service, but it can be accessed via Prime Video Channels. Essentially, you're eligible for the same 7-day free trial and will pay the same $9.99 per month fee but you will access Paramount Plus through the Amazon Prime Video app.

This is mostly a matter of convenience and only really worth trying if you're already signed up with Prime though it does come with the added benefit of allowing you to stream through Prime's more extensive list of compatible devices.

How can I watch Paramount Plus in Australia?

As mentioned above, you can watch Paramount Plus in two ways: via a standalone subscription on one of the many compatible devices or through the Amazon Prime Video Channels feature. Once you've chosen which of those two routes you've taken, it's just a matter of signing up to the free 7-day trial.

Does Paramount Plus work in Australia?

Yes, it does. Paramount Plus launched in Australia shortly after it did in the US. With that said, there are a lot more movies and TV shows available on Paramount Plus in the US. If you're more interested in accessing the US version of the streaming service, you could always use a VPN for streaming content outside of Australia.

How to cancel Paramount Plus

Cancelling your Paramount Plus account is incredibly easy if you follow these steps:

  • Head to paramountplus.com and sign in with the email address and password you nominated when signing up. 
  • Once logged in, click on the user profile in the top-right corner of the screen (which should have your first and last name initials). 
  • Click on 'Account' 
  • Scroll down and click on 'Cancel subscription' 

How does Paramount Plus compare?

Compared to services like Disney Plus and Amazon Prime Video, the Paramount Plus TV show and movie library is quite thin. There are some great TV shows from Showtime, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon but the library of classic movies isn't comparable to most major streaming services. Still, it's growing by the day and recent originals like Dexter: Original SinThe Agency and Landman have been good enough to draw a crowd.
