PEAK CONTENT

We’ve always known Sonic the Hedgehog was a star, but his friend and former rival, Knuckles , is finally having his moment. The special event series—which follows the feisty echidna voiced by Idris Elba—broke a new global record as the most-watched Paramount+ Original series, with more than 4 million hours streamed over its premiere weekend and 6 million hours streamed in the first seven days.

Now in its first month on the service, Knuckles has garnered over 11 million hours globally, becoming the #1 Paramount+ Original Kids & Family series ever in terms of hours. Building on one of Paramount’s most successful franchises, the original series generated a halo effect across other Sonic titles on Paramount+, with a 278% jump in viewership globally over the daily average. Not too bad for a marsupial!

Jon Stewart’s return to The Daily Show  is a second term we can all get behind. With the Emmy winner back at the desk alongside The Daily Show News Team, we’ve seen a staggering 1300% increase in viewership for the series on Paramount+ while soaring to become #1 in late-night across broadcast cable on Mondays.
 

BEHIND THE STREAMS

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

It’s been 25 years since SpongeBob SquarePants first made a splash and we all got swept away in his underwater hijinks.

Come July there are brand-new adventures in store for the seafaring superstar and the residents of Bikini Bottom when the Paramount+ Original series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years  returns for a second season. Kamp activities include staying up all night, monster lessons, digging up a prehistoric creature and, most importantly, having the best summer ever!

We’re marking Mr. SquarePants’ silver anniversary in style on Paramount+ with several special activations. In July, audiences can customize their profiles with over 15 new SpongeBob avatars, explore the refreshed SpongeBob Universe collection along with special carousels curated for the franchise’s most beloved characters, and check out the SpongeBob takeover on the Paramount+ app. Stay tuned for more surprises to be announced throughout the year.

To keep the festivities going, we are also welcoming season 13 of SpongeBob SquarePants  and season one of The Patrick Star Show  to our extensive animation library.

Attention, campers! Please report to Paramount+ when season two of Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years premieres July 10.

 

UNSCRIPTED SUMMER

This summer, we invite you to say yes to spontaneity. Break out of your routine and embrace the always entertaining unscripted options across Paramount+. We are home to more than 120 reality series, including some of the longest running series in television history: Big Brother , The Amazing Race , Survivor , Real World  and RuPaul’s Drag Race . Our slate delivers all the uninhibited thrills of summer.

This month, audiences are gearing up for the return of the 26th season of CBS’ iconic reality competition series, Big Brother. Hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, this season will kick off with a special two-night premiere on CBS and Paramount+ on July 17 and 18 (9–10 PM ET). Following its special two-night premiere, the series will air Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (9–10 PM, LIVE ET). Super fans looking for maximum access can tune into Paramount+’s Big Brother Live Feed for 24/7 drama.

The competition is always hot across our  entire reality lineup.

 

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken  tells an inspiring story about addiction and redemption as the titular rockstar and activist composes, “Burning Woman,” a new song based on her relationship with five women incarcerated in Kansas, and then performs a special concert inside their Topeka prison.

Tears and tunes will flow when Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken premieres July 9.

 

HIGH SCORE

The WNBA takes center stage on July 6 when rookie sensation Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever host reigning MVP Breanna Stewart and the New York Liberty, live on Paramount+. On June 16, Clark and the Fever broke records when they took on the Chicago Sky on CBS and Paramount+. The game was the most-watched WNBA game on any network in 23 years and the most-streamed WNBA game ever on Paramount+.

Tune in for the chance to witness another milestone when Indiana and New York go head to head on July 6.

 

STREAMING SOON
