Paramount+ has arrived in the UK today, 22 June, offering a host of exclusive films, series and documentaries to rival the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney Plus.
The new streaming service is available for £6.99 per month, or £69.90 for a year which works out slightly cheaper on a monthly basis if viewers are willing to make the commitment.

Paramount+ will be home to several original series, including Halo, a war drama based on the 2001 video game, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and drag queen singing competition Queen of the Universe, with new episodes of each streaming every Wednesday. Elsewhere in the series offering are Yellowstone prequel 1883, crime drama Mayor of Kingstown, and The Offer - a behind-the-scenes dramatisation on the making of The Godfather, according to The Express .
