It could cost up to £24 more each year to stream Paramount+ shows and films
If you have a Paramount+ subscription, you'll need to shell out a little extra for this month's bill. The streaming service — best known for hit series like Yellowstone, Star Trek, South Park, and others — has just increased its monthly prices in the UK.
The UK price increase comes as Paramount+ hiked up its prices in the US back in January.
If you have one of the more expensive plans, such as Premium, and want to drop down a tier, Paramount says that you'll first need to subscribe to a new plan and then cancel your old plan. You can't move tiers as seamlessly as you would with other platforms like Netflix.
And if you have your current subscription bundled with your mobile provider, you may notice the new price reflected in your bill.
This is a common offering from network providers, where you'll be treated to a monthly subscription for cheaper or at no extra cost. It's a great way to explore new streaming services and access more content.
A Three customer told ISPreview: "Watch out with Three; they sent me an email about the price of Paramount going up. I have literally never used Paramount and never will, so I decided to go and remove the add-on from my account to avoid getting billed when the free period runs out."
If you've found yourself paying and would like to cancel the subscription from your Three plan, the company says you can complete this in the Three app or My3 — Three's online account management website. Once cancelled, you'll still have access until your next bill date.
This isn't the first subscription streaming service we've seen undergo price hikes this year.
Netflix has once again bumped up the prices of its subscription plans in the US. The streaming giant quietly updated its pricing page, and the changes take effect immediately for anyone signing up for a new plan. And while there haven't been any confirmations that the platform will extend these hikes to other countries, history indicates the UK won't be able to avoid them for long.
Amazon also wants you to pay more for Prime Video with a new tier called Prime Video Ultra. Similarly, Disney+ increased prices last October.
