(Paramount Community)
There are many modifications coming to Paramount Network. In line with Variety, the cable channel is being rebranded to Paramount Film Community someday in 2021.
As a part of that change, the cable channel is planning to get out of the unique TV sequence enterprise and shift towards producing made-for-TV films that star big-name actors. The plan is to provide 52 authentic movies annually and air one per week.
Chris McCarthy, president of leisure and youth manufacturers for ViacomCBS home media networks, stated, “Made-for-TV films present all of the artistic upside and skill to work with nice expertise, with out the full-time dedication of a sequence or characteristic. Plus, we’re maximizing our funding as a result of we are able to construct a helpful library to make use of throughout our streaming, cable, and international footprints.”
As soon as per quarter, Paramount is predicted to air a mini-series or large-scale sequence. Characters from these tasks could also be spun-off into their very own sequence or films. Yellowstone, which was renewed for a fourth season in February, will stay on the cable channel as a part of that technique.
The model change has been within the works for some time as Paramount has been cancelling scripted sequence or shifting tasks to new properties. The channel cancelled plans for a Sexy Beast sequence and dropped 68 Whiskey after one season.
It’s unclear what’s going to develop into of the upcoming Coyote sequence starring Michael Chiklis, Mayor of Kingstown from Taylor Sheridan, or Paradise Lost (in partnership with Spectrum) starring Josh Hartnett.
What’s going to occur to the unscripted TV exhibits that air on the channel? Bar Rescue and Lip Sync Battle will stay on and transfer to different ViacomCBS channels. In the meantime, Ink Master, Wife Swap, and Battle of the Fittest Couples will all be cancelled.
No less than among the new Paramount Film Community content material is predicted to finish up on the Paramount Plus streaming service. CBS All Access will probably be rebranded with that title in 2021 and can characteristic a variety of content material from the ViacomCBS library.
What do you think? Do you benefit from the Yellowstone TV sequence? Do you just like the sound of the brand new Paramount Film Community? Will you miss any of the cancelled unscripted TV exhibits?
