Akin to Disney+, Paramount Prime will not carry any content from Comedy Central, MTV, and VH1 due to their mature content and omits any R-rated and TV-MA-rated content on Paramount and CBS' behalves to focus on "family-oriented" content, as its sister service Paramount+ will handle those networks; Paramount+ will also host as Paramount Prime's add-on service.
