SkyShowtime Gains Traction in Europe, Driven by ‘Yellowstone’ Success
PARIS – SkyShowtime, the streaming service backed by Paramount and Comcast, is steadily expanding its footprint across Europe, attracting over four million subscribers in more than twenty countries, according to data released Monday. The platform’s growth is largely attributed to the popularity of series created by Taylor Sheridan, including “Yellowstone” and “Landman.”
Spain represents a significant portion of SkyShowtime’s user base, with over 1.5 million unique viewers. The service is positioning itself as a strong alternative in the competitive streaming landscape by continually adding both series and films to its catalog.
SkyShowtime offers three subscription tiers to cater to diverse consumer preferences. The most affordable option, the Standard plan with ads, costs €4.99 per month and allows viewing in Full HD on a single device. A six-month subscription for €21.99 brings the monthly cost down to €3.70, while an annual subscription is available for €39.99, equivalent to €3.34 per month.
For an ad-free experience, the Standard plan without ads is priced at €7.99 monthly, enabling simultaneous streaming on two devices in Full HD and the download of up to 30 series and films. A six-month subscription costs €34.99 (€5.90/month), and an annual subscription is €62.99 (€5.25/month).
The Premium plan, SkyShowtime’s most comprehensive offering, provides simultaneous viewing on up to five devices in 4K UHD, along with the ability to download up to 100 titles, all without advertisements. This tier is priced at €12.99 per month, with six-month and annual subscriptions available for €57.99 (€9.70/month) and €102.99 (€8.58/month) respectively.
The success of SkyShowtime highlights the growing demand for streaming services in Europe and the impact of high-quality content, particularly American productions like those from Taylor Sheridan, on attracting and retaining subscribers. The platform’s flexible subscription options further contribute to its appeal in a market where consumers are increasingly seeking value and convenience.
