BET+ will soon be no more, and it will be folded into Paramount+.

Have no worries about BET+’s content. The content will just move over to Paramount+, which will be the home of BET+’s renewed original series, such as Diarra From Detroit, The Ms. Pat Show, Tyler Perry’s Zatima, Tyler Perry’s Divorced Sistas and more.

In June, as Deadline exclusively reported in their breaking story, Paramount+ will see “more than 1,000 hours of BET+ content – originals, movies, and specials…migrate to the flagship streamer.”

BET Networks President Louis Carr sent out a memo to staff on Friday, which reads in part, “This powerful next step ensures the stories we champion, the creators we support and the culture we represent go further than ever before.”

A move like this was expected once Skydance bought Paramount, becoming Paramount Skydance, especially considering that it folded Showtime’s content into Paramount+. BET+ folding into Paramount+ became possible after Paramount Skydance bought Tyler Perry Studios’ ownership in BET+, which is thought to be 25 percent. Financial details are not known.

Tyler Perry will continue to produce content

Perry will continue to work on current and upcoming series for BET and now, BET Media Group’s content on Paramount+. Perry’s latest overall deal with BET Media Group was inked in 2024 and lasts until 2028.

“As part of this evolution, Paramount acquired Tyler Perry Studios’ equity stake in BET+,” a Paramount spokesperson said in a statement, per Deadline. “We share the same ambition to expand the reach of BET content, and Tyler will continue to be a valued and important partner through his overall programming agreement.”

As Deadline noted, BET+ content will live at the already-existing BET Hub on Paramount+.

Team BET,

As we continue to drive BET’s growth, our stories have to live in more places. Beginning in June, we are expanding our reach by making Paramount+ the new home for BET+ content. This powerful next step ensures the stories we champion, the creators we support and the culture we represent go further than ever before.

Paramount+ will bring global fans over 1,000 hours of iconic series, films, originals and cultural touchstones that reflect the full spectrum of the Black experience, including hits like THE MS. PAT SHOW, ALL THE QUEEN’S MEN, ZATIMA, AVERAGE JOE and DIARRA FROM DETROIT. Our celebrated Black storytelling will live alongside Paramount’s premium series, sports, specials and films, where it will be clearly branded, prominently featured and easy to find in the BET Hub.

BET is a cornerstone of Black culture and an essential part of Paramount’s portfolio and long‑term content strategy. BET’s linear channel will continue to have a strong presence, and BET Studios remains fully active, producing the compelling, creator‑driven content that defines who we are. BET Digital remains central to our multiplatform strategy as well, driving real-time conversation, audience engagement and measurable growth across social and emerging platforms.

BET has already seen strong momentum by meeting audiences where they are. Through the growth of our FAST channels, we have expanded reach, increased engagement and introduced BET content to new viewers.

What I want you to take away today is this: BET remains strong because of you, your creativity, your resilience and your unwavering belief in the power of our stories. This moment is about growth and about ensuring BET’s voice continues to shape culture at an even greater global scale.

Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do to move this brand forward.

– Louis
