Paramount Direct-to-Consumer is publicly owned and headquartered in the US. Founded in 2019, this segment of Paramount Global operates with approximately 40,870 employees and reported $8.6B in revenue as of 2025. The company functions as the direct-to-consumer (D2C) segment of Paramount Global (formerly ViacomCBS), focusing on delivering its content directly to consumers through digital streaming platforms. This segment encompasses several key entertainment providers, including the subscription service Paramount+, the free ad-supported platform Pluto TV, the premium network Showtime, the African American-focused BET+, and the preschool streaming service Noggin.
On May 1, 2026, a group of five consumers filed a lawsuit against Paramount Skydance, seeking to block its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery and to unwind its earlier merger with David Ellison's Skydance Media. The lawsuit alleges that both transactions would reduce marketplace competition. This legal action follows earlier discussions among Attorneys General and politicians regarding potential legal challenges to Paramount Skydance’s planned purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, though no official actions from those entities had materialized until the consumer lawsuit.
