Paramount drops the first eight episodes of Yellowstone season five on streaming service

What happened?

• Paramount made a deal with NBCU for exclusive streaming rights
• As part of the deal, only the final 10 episodes of season five will be available on Paramount+
• The first eight episodes will only be available on NBCU’s Peacock streaming service

Why did Paramount make this deal?

• The deal was likely made to bring in more subscribers to both Paramount+ and Peacock
• Paramount likely hopes that viewers will subscribe to both services in order to watch the entire season of Yellowstone
• This helps both companies increase their revenue

How are fans reacting?

• Many fans are disappointed that they will have to subscribe to another streaming service to watch the full season of Yellowstone
• Some fans are frustrated with Paramount for making this deal and not being transparent about it
• Others are voicing their frustration with the overcrowding of the streaming market and the increasing costs for viewers

Author’s hot take:

It’s no surprise that companies are making deals like this to increase revenue and attract more subscribers. However, it’s frustrating for consumers who just want to watch their favorite shows without having to subscribe to multiple services. Hopefully, companies will start to consider the viewers who have made their shows a success and make things more accessible for them.
