On top of all that there’s a heap of original content coming to Paramount+ including the Halo TV adaptation, the iCarly reboot, the Dexter revival and a heap of other shows.

What about sport?

To round it all off, Paramount+ are diving into the sports arena to take on Fox Sports and Kayo thanks to a partnership with Network 10.

Included in the deal is anything and everything football (soccer) in Australia. A-League, W-League and any of the Socceroos and Matildas international games (excluding world cups) will be available to watch.

That’s a lot of football.
