With the latest launch in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and France last week, we are now streaming in key markets in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Australia and soon in India. With our unbeatable content offering to entertain the entire family, deployed across such a vast footprint, we are well-positioned to continue our momentum in 2023.”

Paramount+’s slate for the GAS countries features the German originals Der Scheich, in which filmmaker Dani Levy tells the story of a one-of-a-kind con artist; a sixth season of the Nickelodeon series Spotlight, set at the Berlin School of Arts; the crime thriller Simon Beckett’s Chemistry of Death; the eco-cyber thriller series A Thin Line; and Kohlrabenschwarz, based on the mystery audio drama series of the same name.

In addition to a selection of international reality shows, Paramount+ will launch exclusive German reality highlights starting in December, including Germany Shore.
