SkyShowtime in the Netherlands
In the United States, several new streaming services have been launched in the past year that we do not yet have in the Netherlands. In between are Paramount Plus and Peacock. The content of these services is bundled and released under the name SkyShowtime in the Netherlands and about twenty other countries.
What can we see?
SkyShowtime’s content consists of series and movies from TV channels MTV, Nickelodeon and Showtime. In addition, you will find the purchased and original content of Paramount Plus and Peacock.
Paramount Plus has all the Star Trek series, a new Criminal Minds is coming and a sequel to Teen Wolf is in the works. On the service you will also find series from Nickelodeon such as The Fairly Oddparents, iCarly and Rugrats. New cinema films are also rapidly coming to the streaming service, such as Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7.
Peacock has a lot of classics in the United States, such as 30 Rock, Battlestar Galactica, Cheers, Frasier, Everyone Loves Raymond and Will & Grace. In addition, new series are being made, such as a new Saved by the Bell, a new Punky Brewster and an animation series about Curious George.
Whether all content will also come to Europe is unclear. Many series that can be seen exclusively with these services in the United States can be found in the Netherlands with other streaming services. Think Star Trek: Discovery on Netflix and Star Trek: Picard on Prime Video. It is possible that you will soon need a SkyShowtime subscription to continue watching this and other series.
How does the app work?
SkyShowtime’s technology is based on Peacock. This means that in the Netherlands we will get an app similar to that of Peacock, with all the extra content from this collaboration. The app is comparable to other streaming services and receives average positive reviews in both the Play Store and the App Store.
How much does SkyShowtime cost?
A price for SkyShowtime has not yet been announced. It is also not yet clear when the service will be available in 2022. Notably, Peacock has a free option with ads in the United States. It is not yet known whether this model will also be tested in Europe, but it would be an interesting choice in a crowded market where people might not want to take out another subscription.
Which streaming services will be available in 2022?
In 2022 you can ViaPlay and possibly HBO Max to expect. Also check our overview with all streaming services where you can currently watch series, movies and documentaries.
