ViacomCBS plans to launch a new premium streaming service next year, which will feature original content from CBS All Access and Showtime. A "super-sized" selection of content from ViacomCBS brands has also been teased including CBS, MTV, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon.
The new service, which was reported to be in the works as early as February, will feature exclusive premieres of Showtime and CBS All Access originals, including the television adapation of Halo. The service will start rolling out in international markets, starting with Australia, Latin America and the Nordic countries.

The Australian version of CBS All Access will simply be rebranded as the new streamer; the Paramount Plus service in the Nordics, Eastern Europe, and Latin America will receive the same treatment. ViacomCBS explained that it will "continue to license product selectively to third parties in international markets." As of yet, there has been no set date for the service's launch.
"We're going to continue working with our colleagues in our distribution team to work out the right approach to allocate rights and windowing in those markets," President and CEO of ViacomCBS Networks International David Lynn said in a statement, "We have more than enough content to continue to do licensing."
