It wasn’t long ago that BET+ and its sibling linear channel were put up for sale by Paramount Global.
After the events of this summer, it would seem surprising to hear that BET+ is aligning itself more closely with other Paramount Global properties. But that’s exactly what the smaller streaming service is preparing to do. The move is the latest that leaves room for speculation about the future of Paramount itself.
BET+ is shifting a large number of its original movies to Pluto TV, marking the first time they will be available to stream for free. Paramount Global attempted to sell BET Media Group this summer, but could not find a buyer to meet its price. The shift could mean that Paramount is positioning BET+ as a more crucial part of its business going forward. 7-Day Free Trial $9.99+ / month bet+ via amazon.com Which Movies are Shifting to Pluto...

Matt Rife has set a new comedy special at Netflix. Titled “Natural Selection,” the hour-long stand-up set will premiere later in 2023.
Per the logline, the special sees Rife “leave no topic untouched — from crystals to social media trolls — and no audience member spared.”
“Natural Selection” will be taped at Dar Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C on Sept. 22 and 23 as a part of Rife’s “ProbleMattic World Tour.” The special is executive produced by Rife and Christina Shams, and hails from Irony Point, the production company behind comedy titles such as “I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson,” “Inside Amy Schumer” and “That Damn Michael Che.”
Rife rose to prominence as a comedian thanks to viral social media content, particularly on TikTok, where he is the platform’s most watched comedian. Additionally, before “Natural Selection,” he self-produced and distributed three comedy specials via YouTube: “Only Fans,” “Matthew Steven Rife” and “Walking Red Flag.
