These include Anguilla, The Bahamas, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Curaçao, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks, and Caicos Islands.
Except for Essentials TV subscribers, Flow and BTC customers will have access to all of the Paramount+ catalogue, with include movie and series titles such as Mayor of Kingstown, The First Lady, Yellowstone, Dexter: New Blood and the much anticipated Halo series, based on the popular Xbox video game franchise. Content aimed at children and families will also feature on the service, including Paw Patrol and The Adventures of Paddington.
