Paramount has officially announced the launch plans for the combined Paramount+ and Showtime service, revealing the date as June 27. This confirmation follows the accidental leak of the launch date via an email sent to Apple-paid Showtime subscribers a few days ago. The merger, currently applicable only in the U.S., stems from the previous announcement in January that Showtime would no longer operate as an independent brand. The rebranded bundle, known as Paramount+ with Showtime, will be available at a monthly cost of $11.99. In comparison, Paramount+ without Showtime will be priced at $5.99. It's important to note that the combined offering is $2 more expensive than the existing premium plan of Paramount+, which currently does not include Showtime content. Additionally, the new bundle is $1 pricier than the "Essential" plan without Showtime.
