The BET+ streaming platform will soon come to an end. Paramount Skydance has officially acquired the remaining ownership stake in BET+ from Tyler Perry Studios, giving Paramount full control of the platform.
With this move, the standalone BET+ streaming service will be shut down and phased out starting in June 2026.
BET+ has been home to a wide range of original content that centered Black stories and creators. Popular shows like The Ms. Pat Show, All the Queen’s Men, and Zatima built strong fan bases and helped define the platform’s identity.
Even though the platform itself is going away, the content is not disappearing. More than 1,000 hours of BET+ programming will be moved over to Paramount+, where viewers will still be able to watch their favorite shows.
As for Tyler Perry, while he has sold his ownership stake, he is not stepping away from the brand. He will remain a major creative force through an overall programming deal with BET Media Group that runs through 2028. That means fans can still expect new Tyler Perry content in the future.
This shift reflects how streaming platforms are continuing to consolidate, with major companies focusing on fewer, larger services instead of multiple smaller ones.
