It was announced in September 2020 that the service would be rebranded as [[Paramount+]] in early 2021, and would feature content from the wider ViacomCBS library following the re-merger between CBS and Viacom. The name was also extended to international markets and services such as 10 All Access.<ref name="ParamountPlus">{{cite press release|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200915005412/en/ViacomCBS-Unveils-Brand-Upcoming-Global-Streaming-Service|title=ViacomCBS Unveils Brand for Upcoming Global Streaming Service: Paramount+|publisher=[[Paramount Global]]|via=[[Business Wire]]|date=September 15, 2020|access-date=September 15, 2020|archive-date=November 19, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201119021404/https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200915005412/en/ViacomCBS-Unveils-Brand-Upcoming-Global-Streaming-Service|url-status=live}}</ref> The rebrand to Paramount+ took place on March 4, 2021.
