‘SEAL Team,’ ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ & More of Paramount+’s Peak Content in 2021
There was lots to watch on Paramount+ in its first year (after its launch on March 4), so what was everyone checking out? The streaming service has released its peak content for 2021.
Paramount+ debuted new originals, including iCarly‘s return, Mayor of Kingstown, and Star Trek: Prodigy, and brought over from CBS Evil for Season 2 and SEAL Team after four episodes of Season 5. Plus, it built a movie library that included new titles such as A Quiet Place: Part II, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Infinite, and South Park: Post COVID.
The streaming service’s #1 most-watched genre was Kids & Family, followed by Reality and Crime. Live sports such as The NFL on CBS were the peak drivers for new subscribers, as were sports properties including UEFA and Concacaf.
