It is dead. They are going to axe all the programming executives and stop making future Showtime shows. No need for a Showtime tab if it is not going to be generating new content beyond current seasons of Yellowjackets and Billions.

Both of those shows, hell all of them would probably just become P+ exclusives

I’m more amazed that Paramount Network still exists. I figured Viacom would have shelled out top dollar to buy back the Yellowstone rights for P+ and shutter PN.

They actually own Paramount Network. The problem is they sold the out of season streaming rights to Yellowstone to Peacock years ago. They have since admitted that was a dumb decision.
