The Twilight Zone will not return on CBS All Access when it is rebranded next month as Paramount+.
The anthology from exec producers Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg has been canceled after a two-season run on the ViacomCBS-backed platform. Sources say Peele and Kinberg's companies were both ready to walk away from the series though CBS All Access/Paramount+ wanted the series to continue.
I agree. Bell has an agreement with Showtime to carry their original programming on Crave movie channels and the Crave streaming service. Don't know the details about how long it will last and whether it's exclusive.It's unlikely that SHOWTIME will be on Paramount+ in Canada and it looks like they are open to licensing the new originals to other providers.
Evil is on Paramount+ though episodes from the 2nd season aren't available yet. That likely means a legacy broadcaster has first run rights in Canada and thus season 2 likely wont show up until after the current season has ended.So my question is whether the second season of Evil is available on Paramount+ in Canada.
Until CBS decides to retain streaming rights for all new series and other programming for Paramount+ Canada, I doubt they will have much success. That, and the other major US networks following suit, would convince me to dump conventional TV services.So, it sounds like they plan to get serious with the Canadian operation.
I don't object to CBS moving a series from their network to their new streaming service at the start of the series' new season. That's just business. CBS can put it on whatever platform it chooses. However I do object to this latest example of TV bait and switch. Showing the first four episodes of a new season on regular TV thereby getting millions hooked on a popular series and then transferring the rest of the series over to its nascent streaming service in the hopes of dragging the viewers over with it is slap in the face to its viewers. No doubt many fans will make the switch if only to keep up with the series star but I won't be one of them. I'm done with this programme even if it were to return to CBS.Bill Brioux has confirmed that SEAL Team will be available exclusively on Paramount+ Canada effective with episode 5 that streamed last night.
