📺 BET+ Officially Shutting Down — Tyler Perry Sells Stake As 1,000+ Shows Move To Paramount+

The streaming landscape is shifting again, and this time it involves one of the biggest platforms dedicated to Black entertainment.

BET+ is officially shutting down as a standalone streaming service. The platform’s content will soon be moved to Paramount+, according to new reports about the company’s restructuring plans.

The change comes after Paramount reportedly bought out Tyler Perry’s minority ownership stake in BET+. Perry previously owned about 25% of the platform through a partnership deal he made when the service launched back in 2019.

While financial details of the new buyout have not been publicly disclosed, the deal clears the path for Paramount to fully consolidate its streaming platforms.

Starting in June 2026, BET+ will no longer exist as a separate app. Instead, all of its movies, series, and original content will be transferred over to Paramount+.

The streaming service currently offers more than 1,000 hours of programming, including original shows, films, and specials centered around Black culture and storytelling.

BET+ originally launched in 2019 and currently costs $5.99 per month with ads or $9.99 per month without ads.

In a message sent to staff, Louis Carr explained that while the BET+ app will shut down, the brand itself will remain a key part of Paramount’s strategy.

Carr confirmed that BET, BET Studios, and BET Digital will all continue operating, with Paramount+ becoming the new streaming home for BET+ programming.

The move is expected to bring BET content to a much larger audience since Paramount+ already has tens of millions of global subscribers.

For fans of the platform, the content isn’t disappearing — it’s simply being relocated to a bigger streaming stage.
