As has become standard with these streaming services, Paramount+ is making the most of ViacomCBS’s extensive intellectual property with a whole host of reboots, sequels and spin-offs. These range from the seemingly inevitable (a Frasier reboot, two spin-offs from the world of Yellowstone) to the bizarre (series based on Grease and Flashdance, and a reality show bringing back together all the contestants from the original Real World).
