In the over-saturated market of streaming services, every service does its best to stand-out. The best way for any streaming service to do this is to have exclusive content. Whether it’s a Netflix original film like Bird Box or having all the rights to a series like Disney has for Family Guy, streaming services each have a bundle of unique content that is typically only available on that specific service.
Just like regular cable, streaming services are always releasing new content. While some services have some series scheduled to release new episodes weekly, others release episodes all at once. Paramount+, despite the service’s young age, is rapidly growing, producing and releasing more and more original content each month. Between the exclusive South Park franchise to the hosting of all the Jackass films, Paramount+ is quickly making its way as one of the top streaming services. These are the best TV series coming to Paramount+ in December 2022.
