What's Available

Paramount+ in the US offers one of the strongest streaming libraries available. You get access to a massive catalog of CBS content, including hit shows like NCIS, Survivor, The Good Fight, and SEAL Team. Original series like Tulsa King, 1883, 1923, and Mayor of Kingstown are exclusive to this platform and genuinely worth your time.

On the film side, you'll find Paramount Pictures titles including Top Gun: Maverick, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, and a deep archive of classic Paramount films. Sports fans get live NFL games, UEFA Champions League coverage, and CBS Sports content baked right in.

  • Star Trek franchise: Strange New Worlds, Picard, Discovery, Lower Decks
  • Reality and crime content: 48 Hours, The Challenge, Big Brother
  • Kids content via Nickelodeon, including SpongeBob and PAW Patrol
  • MTV and Comedy Central library shows

What You're Missing

The US library is actually the most complete version of Paramount+, so if you're already in the US, you're not missing much regionally. However, some licensing deals mean certain films rotate off the platform or never appear — titles like Transformers: Rise of the Beasts have had delayed arrivals. A small number of international Paramount+ originals produced for UK or Australian markets also don't always make it to US screens immediately.

How to Access Other Regions

If you want to access Paramount+ libraries from other countries — or unlock your US account while traveling abroad — a VPN is your best tool. Connect to a server in the country whose library you want to browse, then open Paramount+ as normal.

We recommend NordVPN as your first choice. It's reliable, fast, and consistently works with Paramount+. Connect to a US server to restore your full US library while traveling, or select a UK or Australian server to explore those regional catalogs.

Our Recommendation

If you're in the US, Paramount+ gives you excellent value — especially if you're a sports fan or love prestige TV like 1923 or Tulsa King. Pair it with NordVPN if you travel frequently, so you never lose access to your library while abroad. The with-Showtime tier is worth the upgrade if you want the full experience without ads.
