Paramount+ and Showtime to Merge 

• The Showtime cable network will be rebranded as Paramount+ With Showtime. All that changes here is the name.

• The Paramount+ Premium tier ($9.99/month with no ads) will also be rebranded as Paramount+ With Showtime, and host Paramount+ and Showtime original series.

• The Paramount+ Essential tier ($4.99/month with ads) will host Paramount+ original series only. Nothing changes.

In the wake of the merger, Showtime has announced the cancellations of two freshman series: American Gigolo and Let the Right One In
