For a limited time, Pluto TV users are able to stream full seasons of select CBS Original Series for free. The partnership with CBS takes effect on September 1st, so Pluto TV users will need to wait a few days before they can stream these shows.
The CBS Original Series becoming available to stream on Pluto TV in September include:
- Elsbeth Season 2
- Fire Country Season 3
- Ghosts Season 4
- Matlock Season 1
- NCIS: Origins Season 1
- Watson Season 1
While Pluto TV is already home to plenty of television shows, what’s notable about these latest additions is that many of the seasons have only recently concluded.
Elsbeth season two and Watson season one, for example, came to an end in May of this year. Likewise, Fire Country season three, Matlock season one, and NCIS: Origins season one all concluded in April.
The deal also makes a lot of sense from the perspective of CBS, as the arrangement offers a chance to put these originals in view of more users prior to the release of new episodes.
Elsbeth, Fire Country, Ghosts, Matlock, NCIS: Origins, and Watson all have new seasons premiering on CBS this October.
“We’re giving fans a front-row seat to binge — or sample from – a full past season of six standout CBS Original series, on Pluto TV, just before their big returns during ‘CBS Premiere Week,’” said Mike Benson, President and Chief Marketing Officer, CBS, BET and VH1. “It’s a win all around — CBS builds excitement, Pluto TV keeps fans engaged and viewers get to relive cliffhangers or discover new favorites.”
The agreement also marks the first time Pluto TV has offered full seasons of multiple CBS series simultaneously.
“This is the most ambitious primetime synergy between CBS and Pluto TV yet,” said Amy Kuessner, EVP Programming at Pluto TV. “Free, full-season access to CBS’s biggest television series is something only Pluto TV can offer in this way. We’re proud to give audiences the chance to catch up on these beloved series before the new episodes return at no cost, and to demonstrate how Pluto TV continues to deliver premium content through the power of Paramount’s unified ecosystem.”
