The video service Paramount+ draws attention to the start of the advertising partnership with Deutsche Bahn with an unusual campaign. Paramount’s own production “Simon Beckett’s The Chemistry of Death” premiered in an ICE en route from Hamburg to Berlin.

The reason for this is that Deutsche Bahn is temporarily expanding its free entertainment offer in the ICE portal with films and Series from the Paramount+ programme. Until March 31, the productions “The Lost City,” “Star Trek: Discovery,” “Mission Impossible: Fallout,” and “Paw Patrol: The Movie” are available there for on-demand viewing.

The new series, Simon Beckett’s The Chemistry of Death, officially launches today with the first episode for all Paramount+ subscribers. The other five Episodes will follow weekly on Thursdays.

It should also be borne in mind at this point that the trial period of Paramount+, which normally lasts seven days, can be extended to one month with a voucher code. If you want to save yourself the trouble of creating a new user account there, including credit card information, you can just click on the Paramount+ channel with the same content on Amazon or Apple TV+ for a seven-day trial.
