Paramount+ Removes Titles as Part of Licensing Strategy, Including Emmy-Nominated 'Inside Amy Schumer'

  • The sketch comedy series returned for its fifth season in 2022 after a six-year break but was removed midway through its Emmy campaign.
  • Other TV shows like 'Tell Me a Story' and 'From Cradle to Stage' were also pulled from the platform along with several films.
  • Some Nickelodeon series were removed as part of Paramount+'s regular changing of content each month.
  • The removals are allowing Paramount+ to receive a tax write-down as they optimize Showtime's slate of premium originals now available on Paramount+.
  • The streaming service joins others in removing underperforming titles for financial reasons, introducing instability to the industry and risking alienating the artists they work with.
