Paramount+ customers can expect their bill to increase later this month.

If you pay for the popular streaming service, you could pay up to £2 more per month (£24 per year), with the current price for the standard plan being £7.99 and rising to £9.99.

Three, a phone provider which offers Paramount+ as part of some of its plans, says the price will increase from August 27.

Existing Three customers with Paramount+ included in their plan won’t need to do anything, and prices won’t increase for them until their inclusive period ends.
