“Scream” and “Jackass Forever” are both coming to Paramount+ in March of 2022, only months after debuting in theaters.
the studio is willingly bypassing “lucrative and profitable short-term licensing revenue” in an attempt to play the long game, growing their in-home library of available titles on streaming and (ideally) expanding their subscription base in the years to come.
Showtime originals added?
South Park And Beavis And Butt-Head Will Stream Exclusively On Paramount+ In 2025
