In what's possibly the least surprising streaming news this week, Paramount Global is going ahead with its previously announced plans to shut down Showtime in favor of Paramount Plus, which features programs from the service.
If you're a Showtime subscriber, you should receive a notice that, from April 30, you'll no longer be able to access the service. That means the stand-alone Showtime apps will stop functioning. The notice is also on the customer help page of the Showtime website, and says "now that subscribers can access their favorite Showtime programs on Paramount Plus by subscribing to the Paramount Plus with Showtime plan, the Showtime streaming service will shut down on April 30, 2024."
