Paramount+ Releases Free Episodes Of 'Star Trek: Picard', 'Star Trek: Discovery', 'Kamp Koral', 'The Good Fight', And More On YouTube

Paramount+ is here, bringing yet another streaming service into an already crowded market. To be fair, Paramount+ isn't entirely new – it's a rebranding of CBS All Access, with even more stuff. But will it find subscribers in a world that's already oversaturated with studios launching their own streaming services? Time will tell! For now, in the spirit of drawing in viewers, Paramount+ has released a series of premiere episodes of various shows directly to YouTube, and we've gone ahead and rounded them up below.

On March 4, ViacomCBS' existing subscription video-on-demand and live streaming service, CBS All Access, rebranded and relaunched as Paramount+, bringing subscribers "feature content from ViacomCBS' leading portfolio of broadcast, news, sports and entertainment brands." Wow, there's nothing more magical than the term "entertainment brands," is there?

Anyway, if you're still on the fence about Paramount+ and want to know what all the hubbub is about, the streamer has placed several premiere episodes of their shows on YouTube. I have not seen any of these shows, so I can't offer much insight into them. But I suppose that's the point of this exercise – put a bunch of premieres on YouTube for free to hook those who haven't seen them, with the hope of new subscribers. Will it work? We'll see!

The premiere episodes you can watch below include Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Kamp Koral, For Heaven's Sake, The Good Fight, Tell Me a Story, No Activity, Why Women Kill, The Twilight Zone, Texas Six, The Real World Homecoming: New York, Coyote, and The Stand.
