In the past few years, the streaming wars have been fierce among both established and new networks. Gone are the days when HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime were exclusive premium channels only a select few had on their home TVs. We all remember the disappointment of scrolling through the channel guide, finding a new movie, and clicking on it only to be met with a message saying the channel wasn’t included in our cable service. But now, thanks to the endless scroll of streaming platforms, no film or TV series is out of reach.
Showtime, one of those elite premium channels of the past, has adapted to the changing landscape. They have launched smart TV apps and partnered with larger streamers to make their content available. You can now access Showtime as an add-on to your Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, or Paramount+ accounts. Showtime is home to legendary series like Dexter, Yellowjackets, and Ziwe that have stood the test of time and shaken up the oversaturated world of streaming.
If you’re looking for your next binge-worthy series, Showtime is the place to be. Text your mom for the Hulu password (again) and get ready for a very unproductive weekend! Don’t forget to subscribe to Showtime via Paramount+.
