Paramount+ has unveiled what it calls a diverse and expansive pipeline of premium local and international content spanning the best in entertainment, live sport action, blockbuster films, new originals, hit series and family favourites for 2025.
The platform is also able to brand itself Australia’s fastest-growing subscription TV platform.
Paramount+ is already home to some of the most successful Australian original series including Fake and The Last King of the Cross. The platform has announced another new commission with the original drama series, Playing Gracie Darling, to be produced by Curio Pictures.
Adding to the local line-up is the new Australian version of the critically acclaimed British comedy series Ghosts. Together with BBC Studios Productions Australia, Paramount+ and Network 10 will launch Ghosts Australia, the first local iteration of the hit sitcom set to land down under in 2025.
Also new is Staycation, a feature-length, live-action Christmas movie from Ludo, the producers of the smash hit series, Bluey. The comedy sees a dysfunctional middleclass family attempt to survive their Christmas break at home, only to find themselves accidentally mixed up with some very dangerous characters indeed.
The masterminds and pranksters behind The Inspired Unemployed, Jack Steele and Matt Ford (AKA Falcon) take on a new venture with the launch of the Paramount+ and Network 10 Australian original series The List, landing in 2025. The new six-part series is produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia.
There will also be more of the series The Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers. This too is produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia.
NCIS: Sydney back on the Harbour
Following the successful debut of internationally acclaimed Australian series NCIS: Sydney, the eagerly awaited second season is set to dock on Paramount+ in 2025.
Celebrated as one of Australia’s most-watched local series and the first international iteration of the hit global NCIS franchise outside of the US, the next instalment promises even more action on Sydney’s Harbour as NCIS: Sydney squares off against a much more powerful adversary.
The cases are bigger, locations more exotic, and the stakes much higher. With everything on the line, will NCIS: Sydney triumph against all odds – or be torn apart at their very core?
Live sport on Paramount+
Live sport will be a feature as the platform remains the streaming home to Australian football. There will be live coverage of every game of the national football teams CommBank Matildas and Subway Socceroos, plus every game of the Men’s and Women’s A-League matches.
