Paramount Players

Paramount Players is a film production company and division of Paramount Pictures that mainly produces films based on ViacomCBS properties (specifically from Nickelodeon, MTV and BET). The company was launched in 2017. Its name is a loose reference to the Famous Players Film Company, one of the predecessors of Paramount Pictures.

The company itself is also focusing on "contemporary properties" while working with other Paramount Global brands. The name alludes to the company's earliest origins as Famous Players Film Company, before its 1914 founding by William Wadsworth Hodkinson.
