Latest Apple TV update broke access to Paramount Plus shows

To watch Star Trek Strange New Worlds Apple TV played it through Paramount Plus, which I am subscribed to through Apple TV. Now after the latest update the link to the program takes me to Prime and asks me to subscribe to Paramount Plus through Prime instead. Please advise how to fix.

Hi,


This just happened to me. I paid for Paramount+ yesterday just to catch up on Star Trek New Worlds. I watched the first three episodes yesterday. Today, it kept opening in Prime so I disconnected Prime. Now AppleTV tells me to use Paramount+ App. I downloaded the app. Star Trek New Worlds plays in the Paramount+ app but with commercials...? I've tried about a dozen other Paramount+ shows, including the Star Trek shows, and they all play as expected in the AppleTV app.


Have you found a fix?


Respectfully.

Not a fix but a workaround. If you pay for Paramount+ through Apple TV you can access Paramount Plus app/website directly. Sign in here: https://www.paramountplus.com/apple/

Strange New Worlds Season 2 is playing there.

I called Paramount+ support and they pointed this out to me (I think this feature wasn't there when at some point in the past?). Also they have no idea why its not playing on Apple TV but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m just now having that issue also. It was working on the Appletv subscription I watched the 1st 3 mins of Subspace Rhapsody paused and switched to YouTube to check something. Went back and it automatically went to prime video. Can’t find it now. Just downloaded the app version and subscribed for the no ad one week free. It’s on that one so I’m watching it on the app then cancel. They need to fix the issue.

Your not the only one as of 8-3-23 I tried to watch the newest episode and Star Trek Strange new worlds had disappeared from my line up. Only way I could find it even on paramount+ app thru apple was to go to another Star Trek and go to like this below. Earlier it showed season 2 but wanted me to subscribe to Paramount+ or Amazon which I have. Now is only season 1 I can find and wants me to pay for a season. What is going on and when will it be resolved.!!! It is a bad deal to pay for something and can’t get access to it.
