Paramount Television Studios is the television arm of American film studio Paramount Pictures, a subsidiary of Paramount Global, founded on March 4, 2013 by Viacom following an emerging vigorous business with the technological expansion of television via streaming services.[3] Paramount also recognized that television could give them little to fall back on when films fail, except for studio stage rentals.[4]

It is the revival and successor to Paramount's orignal television division, which rebranded as CBS Paramount Television[5] and was transferred to CBS Corporation during its split from the original Viacom, which retained all of Paramount Pictures, on January 1, 2006. After the expiration of a 3-year licensing agreement between the split companies for the "Paramount" trademarks, the division rebranded to CBS Television Studioson May 17, 2009[6] and then currently CBS Studios in 2020. On January 14, 2020, following the closed merger of the second Viacom Inc. and CBS Corporation to form what is now Paramount Global, the division rebranded as Paramount Television Studios.[7]

History

On March 4, 2013, then-president and then-CEO of Viacom Philippe Dauman announced that Paramount opted to produce a television series based on one of their films. The show would allow Paramount to “get back, with very little investment, into the television production business.”[8] Hours later, Paramount chairman/CEO Brad Grey announced that the studio was co-producing a CBS television series based on Beverly Hills Cop with Sony Pictures Television; however, the pilot did not move forward.[9][10]

On July 22, 2013, Amy Powell was named president of Paramount Television.[11] Until the re-merger of CBS Corporation and Viacom on December 4, 2019, the revived Paramount Television had no ties to the CBS network unlike the previous incarnation in its later years before the Viacom/CBS split.

A television series based on the 2003 film School of Rock was announced to air on Nickelodeon.[12] On August 26, 2014, Paramount and HBO announced plans to develop a new series titled Ashecliffe which will serve as a prequel to the 2010 Paramount film Shutter Island.[13]

On May 27, 2014, Anonymous Content signed a 3-year first-look deal with Paramount Television to produce and distribute scripted programming.[14] On October 23, 2014, Chapter Eleven, the production company of Kyle Killen and Scott Pennington, signed a 2-year deal with Paramount Television and Anonymous Content after Killen left 20th Century Fox Television.[15]

On July 14, 2014, Robert Zemeckis, his producing partner Jack Rapke and their production company, Compari Entertainment, signed a 2-year first-look pact with Paramount Television.[16] On January 6, 2017, Paramount Television signed a first-look agreement with Federation Entertainment.[17] On July 19, 2018, Paramount Television fired its president Powell, following reports that several people had "concerns around [Powell's] comments [made in a] professional setting which they believed were inconsistent" with Viacom's and Paramount's values; claims which Powell countered and was considering legal action.[18] On September 5, 2018, she was replaced as Paramount Television president Nicole Clemens.[19]

Viacom indicated that Paramount Television generated $400 million in revenue and produced 9 series at the end-of-year review in 2018. In 2019, Paramount's chief executive Jim Gianopulos indicated that Paramount Television would have 20 series in production and double its profit.[4] On August 16, 2021, following the rebrand, Auriel Rudnick had signed an overall deal with Paramount Television Studios.[20]
