Last year, premium cable channel Showtime's offerings were folded into the larger Paramount Plus streaming service as part of a new, integrated offering named Paramount Plus With Showtime. This premium tier included a Showtime "channel" within the Paramount Plus app that featured ad-free access to Showtime's original series, including "Yellowjackets," "A Gentleman in Moscow," "The Curse" and "Billions," as well as the cabler's impressive lineup of movies.
When the change was initially made, current Showtime standalone subscribers who signed up directly through the app or with a major cable provider were able to switch over to the new plan fairly easily, instantly gaining access to an expanded library of content since Paramount Plus was included in the cost of their subscription.
