It’s only been 100 days since the Paramount and Skydance merger was completed, and we’re already hearing major plans to change the content and pricing on Paramount+ (for better and worse).While executives didn’t specify how much it’ll raise prices, The Hollywood Reporter has since indicated US users can expect to see the monthly plans rise by $1 each on January 17, 2026. The annual tiers will also increase on the same day, but users can expect to pay 50% more for the ‘Essential’ plan and 17% more for ‘Premium’.Paramount isn’t just referring to hit movies or TV shows, like the recently renewed Dexter: Resurrection or upcoming final seasons of Yellowjackets and The Chi, either. It’s also talking about its $7.7 billion deal to be the exclusive home for UFC live sporting events in the US, as well as an increase in third-party licensing to boost up its catalog. What is your take on Paramount + services?
