Paramount+ is now available on Virgin TV

Virgin TV customers can now access a host of popular shows and movies available exclusively on Paramount+ for £6.99 per month

Virgin Media customers with Virgin TV 360 or Stream can now access a wide range of must-see content available on Paramount+ directly via their set-top box for just £6.99 per month or £69.90 per year.

Paramount+ is the latest in a series of apps to become available on Virgin TV, offering customers more than 10,000 hours of content and further enhancing its catalogue of programming so customers can discover a variety of gripping TV content all in one place.

Paramount+ brings together exclusive originals, blockbuster films and iconic series across every genre from Paramount’s world-renowned brands and production studios, including Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, SHOWTIME® and the Smithsonian Channel™.

To launch the app and access a range of Paramount+ Originals, including Yellowstone, Yellowjackets, HALO and Tulsa King, as well as blockbuster movies like Top Gun: Maverick, customers who subscribe can simply head to the Apps section of Virgin TV or press the mic button on their remote and say, “Paramount+” – all from the comfort of their own home.

The ‘Mountain of Entertainment’ from Paramount+ also includes TV hits such as the original UK romantic comedy series The Flatshare, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, a prequel to one of the most iconic musicals of all time, films from the Mission Impossible franchise, family favourites Transformers: Earthspark and Paw Patrol: The Movie and much more, offering thousands of hours of unmissable entertainment to Virgin TV customers who sign up via the app.

Hotly anticipated titles coming to Paramount+ over the coming weeks include the new series of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds; original UK drama No Escape, adapted from Lucy Clarke’s best-selling novel of the same title; and new docuseries The Family Stallone, starring Oscar nominee Sylvester “Sly” Stallone, wife Jennifer Flavin Stallone and daughters Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet. The service will also feature new movie premieres from Paramount Pictures, including Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Virgin TV customers who don’t currently subscribe to Paramount+ can log into their My Virgin Media account for more information about signing up.

David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2, said: “Offering our customers access to the latest and greatest programmes in one easy, convenient place has long been a focus for us. Whether it’s drama, sport or documentaries, Virgin TV provides something for everyone, and the addition of Paramount+’s huge catalogue of award-winning shows and iconic movies means entertainment just got even better for Virgin TV customers.”

Customers with Virgin TV 360 can enjoy access to 190 channels and can add up to three mini 360 boxes around their home for the full multi-room experience, as well as having access to the Virgin TV Go app so they can stream their favourite content from their phone or tablet, whenever and wherever suits them.

Those with Stream, which is available to both new and existing customers who take a Virgin Media broadband only or broadband and landline bundle, can enjoy complete flexibility with a 30 day rolling contract and no ongoing cost beyond the streaming subscriptions they choose to subscribe to. Stream customers can also benefit from Stream credit which provides a 10% saving on select streaming services added via their Virgin TV bill.
