ViacomCBS has pulled the curtain back on plans to launch a premium international streaming service, which will premiere new Showtime and CBS All Access originals, and will go live across three big territories in early 2021.
The yet-to-be-named streamer — first announced in May — was discussed on the ViacomCBS second-quarter earnings call on Thursday, with the company drawing up plans to go live in Australia, Latin America and the Nordics next year.
ViacomCBS said the service will be “competitively priced” and has ambitions to take on market stalwarts, including Netflix and Amazon. It will cater to viewers of all ages by tapping into Viacom and CBS’s annual content spend of $13Bn, as well as their combined archive of 140,000 TV episodes and 40,000 films.
Among the streamer’s lineup will be new originals, such as Showtime’s Halo and American Rust; kids TV series including Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants...
