Paramount Television Studios

Paramount Television Studios (formerly the second incarnation of Paramount Television) is the television arm of American film studio Paramount Pictures, a division of Paramount Global, founded on March 4, 2013, by Viacom following an emerging vigorous business with the technological expansion of television via streaming services. Paramount also recognized that television could give them little to fall back on when films fail, except for studio stage rentals.

It is the revival and successor to Paramount's original television division, which rebranded as CBS Paramount Television and was kept by CBS Corporation, the new name for the original Viacom, on December 31, 2005 – on that same day, the second Viacom took ownership of Paramount Pictures. After the expiration of a 3-year licensing agreement between the split companies for the "Paramount" trademarks, CBS Paramount Television was rebranded to CBS Television Studios on May 17, 2009 and then currently CBS Studios in 2020. On January 14, 2020, following the closed merger of the second Viacom and CBS Corporation to form ViacomCBS (now called Paramount Global), the second Paramount Television was rebranded as Paramount Television Studios.
