Showtime’s VICE Is Latest Casualty of Paramount+ Content Purge
VICE, the documentary TV series that launched on HBO in 2013 and in more recent years called Showtime home, is the latest program to be “disappeared” from the Paramount+ With Showtime streaming service.
VICE previously had been available on the Showtime app, and then for a hot second moved to Paramount+ With Showtime (after the Paramount+/Showtime merger).
Sources confirm for TVLine that VICE is indeed the latest piece of select programming to be removed from the streaming service, which began in earnest last week with the removal of the sketch comedy series Inside Amy Schumer, Kevin Williamson’s two-season psychological thriller anthology Tell Me a Story, Dave Grohl’s From Cradle to Stage docuseries, a a bunch of Nickelodeon shows (including Allegra’s Window, The Fresh Beat Band and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn), as well as some movies.
VICE for the past three years was a Primetime Emmy Award nominee in the Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special category.
This is getting so damn confusing! I get Showtime, HBO, plus whatever else Bell decided to include on Crave and it shows Vice, series, 2,3,and 4 with new episodes added on Sundays. It’s really getting frustrating to know where the hell to find anything on any of my streaming services! Every time I go to cancel one I discover a series I want to binge.
OK rant over……..
So is the show canceled? Because its current season was supposed to be 16 episodes but only 7 actually aired.
I knew something was wrong when I couldn’t find Vice anymore. Seems like Showtime is turning political and wants to control the narrative. Time to cancel both showtime and Paramount + will also pass the word along.
I became aware that something was amiss when I was unable to locate the Vice program. It appears that Showtime is taking a more political direction and aiming to exert influence over the narrative. As a result, I have decided to cancel my subscriptions to both Showtime and Paramount+. Furthermore, I will inform others about this decision.
You and Ave seem to be the same person or using the same brain with the exact same comment.
you are right
I understand your frustration, as navigating multiple streaming services can be confusing. It seems that Showtime, HBO, and other content included on Crave, such as Vice, are available to you. The presence of multiple platforms can make it challenging to locate specific shows or series. It’s a common experience to consider canceling a service only to discover another enticing series that you’d like to binge-watch. Balancing and organizing streaming subscriptions can be a tricky task, but taking the time to explore the available content and prioritize your preferences might help streamline your viewing experience.
It appears that there may be some uncertainty regarding the status of the show. While the current season was originally planned to consist of 16 episodes, only 7 have been aired so far. This discrepancy raises questions about whether the show has been canceled or if there are plans to air the remaining episodes at a later date. It is advisable to check for official announcements or updates from the network or production team to get accurate information about the show’s status and any potential changes in its airing schedule.
I been trying to get the channel to come on my paramount plus app. I paid for the year subscription just because I love Vice News Channels. I loved when Vice channels was available all day every day with all different types of shows. But Vice went bankrupt allegedly and I thought I read it too. I also saw something on how the owners put in a lot of money and they didn’t have money to back it up and A and E stole the channel for pennies on a dollar. Vice is only on Thursday night 11 pm and 12 am. Vice has the better teams available for news but they keep losing one after another. 2010 was when they were in the prime of their careers or news programs. I just hope hbo or some other media outlet will take the vice name and make it like it was.
News Nation is coming out slowly but steadily gaining traction and maybe vice can jump into the mainstream media and get some and get “Woken”
This movie is well worth watching over and over again. If you only watch it once, there will be many details you will not understand.
It really is an amazing movie
