In this story

Seems like we’re subscribed to dozens of streaming networks these days, and it’s hard to know where you’ll get some great new flicks

Paramount Plus wants you as a subscriber, promising 150 international originals by 2025.

The company revealed details about seven of the originals on Tuesday, including content from Germany, Italy, France, and Mexico.

This is a major investment for Paramount, battling out for attention in the all important streaming wars alongside giants like Netflix and Disney plus.

The company is likely aiming to see the kind of traction other platforms have gotten from their own international originals.

Netflix’s Squid Game is perhaps the most successful, becoming the streaming service’s biggest-ever series at launch.

The announcement also arrives just ahead of Paramount Plus’ expansion to the UK and Ireland.
