Pluto TV gets 6 recently finished TV seasons from CBS
Shows like ‘NCIS: Origins’ and ‘Watson’ are joining Pluto TV to help fans prepare for new seasons.
The primetime TV season on CBS this fall promises to be packed with favorites. For 17 seasons in a row, CBS was the most-watched network in America last year, and it has its eyes on the crown once again in 2025. To help make that ambition a reality, CBS is sending six full seasons of shows that aired their finales just months ago to the free streaming service Pluto TV, giving fans a great opportunity to catch up before new episodes premiere.
Key Details:
- Multiple genres: Shows joining Pluto TV range from “Fire Country” to Elsbeth.”
- Milestone: The collaboration marks the first time Pluto TV has offered full seasons of multiple CBS shows at once.
- Coming up fast: “CBS Premiere Week” begins Oct. 12.
The six shows coming to Pluto TV from CBS include titles from many different genres, spanning the spectrum of the CBS primetime lineup. The shows are “Elsbeth” Season 2, “Fire Country” Season 3, “Ghosts” Season 4, “Matlock” Season 1, “NCIS: Origins” Season 1, and “Watson” Season 1.
The team-up between CBS and Pluto TV marks the first time that the streamer has been able to carry full seasons of multiple CBS shows simultaneously. CBS and Pluto are, of course, both owned by Paramount, but full-season streams like this are most often reserved for the paid streaming service Paramount+.
“We’re giving fans a front-row seat to binge – or sample from – a full past season of six standout CBS Original series, on Pluto TV, just before their big returns during ‘CBS Premiere Week,’” CBS president Mike Benson said. “It’s a win all around – CBS builds excitement, Pluto TV keeps fans engaged and viewers get to relive cliffhangers or discover new favorites.”
These titles will be available to stream on Pluto TV into September, allowing fans of the shows included to get ready for the new TV season to come. The official “CBS Premiere Week” will begin on Sunday, Oct. 12, with “Elsbeth” and “Matlock” airing on a special day, followed by seven straight nights of original episodes of new and returning CBS series.
“This is the most ambitious primetime synergy between CBS and Pluto TV yet,” Pluto TV EVP Amy Kuessner said. “Free, full-season access to CBS’s biggest television series is something only Pluto TV can offer in this way. We’re proud to give audiences the chance to catch up on these beloved series before the new episodes return at no cost, and to demonstrate how Pluto TV continues to deliver premium content through the power of Paramount’s unified ecosystem.”
