Upcoming bold, comedy Honor Society, will exclusively premiere on Paramount+ on Saturday, 30 July.
Starring Angourie Rice ( Mare of Easttown ) and Gaten Matarazzo ( Stranger Things ), the hilarious, edgy coming-of-age comedy explores the costs and rewards of being a tenaciously ambitious young woman in the modern world. The cast also includes Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Armani Jackson, Amy Keum and Ben Jackson Walker.
“We are thrilled to build on our recent success with compelling YA content and partner with Awesomeness Films to bring HONOR SOCIETY’s bold story of ambition and empowerment to Paramount+ this summer,” said Tanya Giles, chief programming officer, Paramount Streaming.
Produced by Awesomeness Films, Honor Society follows Honor (Angourie Rice), an ambitious high school senior whose sole focus is getting into Harvard, assuming she can first score the coveted recommendation from her guidance counsellor, Mr. Calvin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Willing to do whatever it takes, Honor concocts a Machiavellian plan to take down her top three student competitors, until things take a turn when she unexpectedly falls for her biggest competition, Michael (Gaten Matarazzo).
Honor Society is directed by Oran Zegman, with screenplay by David A. Goodman. The film is produced by Michael Lewen and executive produced by Syrinthia Studer, Ron French and Don Dunn. Development of the film at Awesomeness is overseen by Fred D. Lee.

The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman, and executive produced by Scott Lumpkin and Orlee-Rose Strauss.
I thought with Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe movie coming on June 23 the service would have the animated series which isn’t available anywhere unless you buy it ?
They have the 1996 first movie though.
I don’t know if you can just start watching the first movie having never seen the animated series . I’m sure you have to have seen the animated series first yet it isn’t available anywhere other than to buy .
I vaguely remember Stan may have had the animated series a few years ago.
The animated series is being added with the new movie from what I’ve heard.

Just saw the tail end of a P+ promo with The secret she keeps season 2 coming soon.
I thought that was coming to 10 but looks like the first run will be on P+.
A real shame if FTA audiences are again missing out on seeing this content first run, audiences have already waited long enough for S2 and will potentially longer now if it’s airing on P+ first.
No wonder FTA is dying with tactics like this, loyal audiences are not being rewarded and driven elsewhere. They need to find a good balance of first run content across both platforms with the opportunity to leverage from the other.
This post misses the mark.
Nowhere in the world do consumers want to watch premium first run drama at locked in times on FTA with ads. Viewers have sent that message loud and clear.
Media companies are responding and putting the content where and how people want to watch it.

Seems nowhere else in the world is abandoning drama on FTA quite like the Australian networks and you can hardly blame viewers with the way they’ve been treated.
I’m talking about having a clear programming strategy for either platform, whereby said series commissioned can then be utilised by the other in a second window opportunity and vice versa.
The trend here of premiering a solid drama on FTA, having it off air too long between seasons, shifting it to a streaming platform without replacing it with another series is concerning and only reinforcing why consumers are shifting their viewing habits to online.
Of course there are many examples overseas of shows that have moved across to streamers, or available to view on demand ad-free 24 hours after traditional broadcast etc - but at least those are clear strategies and considered with audiences in mind.
Something that locally 10/Paramount are not known for.

The launch is part of a strategic global partnership between Paramount and CJ ENM that was hatched in December last year and will see the pair co-develop and co-finance scripted series and movies, and includes content licensing and distribution across Paramount+ and TVing. The Korean streaming platform is majority owned by CJ in a joint venture with Naver and JTBC.
The first local Korean production resulting from the tie-up is Yonder, which will premiere later this year on TVing in Korea, and on Paramount+ in all international markets where the service is available.
