In September 22, 2020, ViacomCBS president of Entertainment and Youth Brands Chris McCarthy told the media that Paramount Network planned to relaunch as a movie channel "within the next year", to be tentatively known as Paramount Movie Network. However, no further updates have been given over a year later.
The Paramount Network was a premium, general entertainment channel will carry "bold original scripted and non-scripted series" with Viacom that moved its best shows to the channel and rolled out several brand-new scripted series and drama series on this channel.

Programming on the Paramount Network included programming and series like Waco, Heathers, American, Yellowstone, and Accused along with shows like Lip Sync Battle, Ink Master and Bellator MMA.
Over the years, the viewership began plummeting with several shows shelved or redirected to other networks.
The Paramount Movie Network would focus on original made-for-TV films featuring major talent, with a plan to premiere 52 films per-year. These films would have largely been produced by ViacomCBS Networks International properties alongside their local studios.

Several statistics indicate that 50% of American households still pay for cable while the other percentage is occupied by streaming services with more households expected to pull the rug under cable.
Paramount Network has also seen a decline internationally so the idea of a placeholder being left in the United States seems highly unlikely especially one for more original productions if TV is about to die soon.
The concept of these "made-for-TV films" will likely go to Paramount+ which is said to be the home of premium storytelling and the reason for Paramount Network's demise in the United States and globally.
