How to Watch SkyShowtime on LG Smart TV

Comcast, the multinational entity that owns Sky, has partnered with Paramount Global (formerly ViacomCBS) to introduce an all-new streaming service in Europe, aptly dubbed SkyShowtime.

The SVOD service has begun serving a sizeable catalogue of movies, shows, originals, and more family-friendly entertainment across a growing list of European countries since September 2022. In Nordic countries like Denmark, Finland, and Norway, SkyShowtime also replaces the Paramount+ streaming service.

For its €7 monthly contract-free plan, SkyShowtime carries a diverse range of premium content, especially in contrast to streaming giants like Disney+, Netflix, and Prime Video. You’re here to learn more about the service and explore all its stunning offerings on your LG television, and we got you covered.

Here’s everything we know about the new streamer, plus step-by-step instructions on how to get SkyShowtime on LG Smart TV.

What’s SkyShowtime and What Can You Watch?

SkyShowtime features over 10,000 hours of content, with a wide variety of movies and shows from some of the biggest franchises and studios, plus local programming that includes comedies, dramas, documentaries, family films, and more.

SkyShowtime carries on-demand content from several providers under NBCUniversal and Paramount Media Networks. It includes a solid selection of iconic titles and box sets from Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, Paramount+, Paramount Pictures, Peacock, Sky, Showtime, and Universal – all streaming in one place.

Comcast, the parent company of Sky, runs a vast array of American TV channels, including NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Bravo, E!, Syfy, and USA Network. Paramount Global has an equally large group of channels that allow SkyShowtime to offer a substantial amount of American programming to the subscribers.

Apart from Comcast and Paramount’s original productions, many third-party providers are also on board, including 21 European originals from HBO Max, following a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Many critically-acclaimed dramas, such as American Gigolo, Dexter: New Blood, and The First Lady from Showtime, The Rising and The Fear Index from Sky Originals, and The Midwich Cuckoos, are available to stream on the platform. Additionally, you can watch the 21st season of Law & Order from Peacock, Yellowstone S5, Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin, Vampire Academy, Yellowjackets S2, and Let The Right One.

The streaming service promises exclusive premieres of theatrical releases from Paramount and Universal, the two studios that account for almost 50% of the Hollywood box office. Some blockbuster films you can watch right now are Top Gun: Maverick, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Jurassic World Dominion, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Sing 2, The Northman, Downton Abbey: A New Era, Ambulance, The Bad Guys, etc.
