After a long wait, fans in the United Kingdom and Ireland will finally get access to Paramount+ this summer as the streamer is formally set to launch there on June 22.

While unfortunately not in time for this week’s launch of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the new Captain Pike-led series will be part of the Paramount+ lineup when the service debuts in the UK and Ireland, as the show features in a new video advertising the upcoming arrival.

(Star Trek: Discovery, we assume, will also be included — however we expect Picard and Lower Decks to remain as Prime Video exclusives; no word on Prodigy which just debuted on Nickelodeon internationally.)

From the official press release, Paramount+ will be available both as a standalone app/subscription, as well as through a partnership with Sky.

In the UK, Paramount+ will be available online at https://www.paramountplus.com/ and on mobile and a wide range of connected TV devices via the Paramount+ app, via broad direct-to-consumer distribution through Apple, Amazon, Google, Roku® and Samsung, with more platforms to be announced in the coming months. Users will be able to sign up to the service for £6.99 per month/£69.90 per annum in the UK, after a free seven-day trial*.

Paramount+ will launch on Sky platforms in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany and Austria in 2022 as part of a new multi-year distribution agreement that also includes the extended carriage of Paramount’s leading portfolio of pay TV channels. Sky Cinema subscribers will get the bonus of Paramount+ included at no extra cost.

The streaming service will also arrive in South Korea by the end of May, and in 60 more regions by the end of the year, including “Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria” (per Deadline’s report). Paramount+ is said to launch in India in 2023.
