Among the large number of streaming services now available, CBS All Access It was probably the one with the most disappointing library. Sure, they have good originals like the new one Star Trek shows and restarting Twilight Zone, but otherwise, it is primarily a collection of old CBS shows and other television series that have been licensed endlessly on all other streaming services. But that changes today.
CBS All Access has added over 70 new shows from Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and other channels in the Viacom family. This occurs after CBS and Viacom recently merged, and now that programming is expanding even beyond what CBS has to offer, they are looking to rename the entire service in 2021.

CBS All Access today announced the expansion of its library, with programs like Chappelle Show, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Nap key, Hollywood royal husbandsand more from Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, VH1, MTV, BET, and more. Other popular shows in the expansion include Beavis and Butthead, Avatar, the last airbender, Rugrats, Reno 911!, Tosh.0, and a lot of reality shows that we prefer not to mention. In total, there are over 70 new shows with over 3,500 episodes that have been added to the library today.
On top of that, CBS All Access will get a new user interface that will make it easier to find shows and movies, discover curated content based on your interests, and feature TV shows from the Viacom channels mentioned above, presumably not much different from hubs than HBO. Max created for Turner Classic Movies, Studio Ghibli, DC Comics, and more.
These big changes are leading to a general rebranding of CBS All Access, which will be given a completely different name sometime in 2021. Early next year, the service will have a relaunch with a library that will include thousands of TV episodes and films from Viacom, CBS and Paramount Pictures. But don’t worry, the expanded CBS All Access won’t go up in price. The service will only cost $ 5.99 per month with ads and $ 9.99 per month for an ad-free experience.
Nickelodeon’s will help usher in the new CBS All Access. Spongebob: Kamp Koral. The animated prequel series will focus on the yellow boy and his friends as they “spend their time building underwater bonfires, catching wild jellyfish, and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck in the craziest kelp forest camp, Kamp Koral.” It was originally slated for Nickelodeon, but Deadline reports that CBS All Access will now use it to attract new subscribers next year.
However, don’t expect CBS All Access (or whatever it’s going to be next year) to expand your library beyond what Viacom and CBS already own. In the future, they have no plans to license other content from other networks, cable channels, or streaming services (although they do have some licensed content at this time). They rely on the 30,000 hours of content they’ll have alone, which already places them ahead of NBCUniversal’s Peacock with 20,000 hours, and the 10,000 hours of content on HBO Max.
Stay tuned to see what else is in store for CBS All Access as we approach its relaunch next year.
