Marshalls is not on Paramount Plus and has no announced plans to arrive

Marshalls, the comedy series that ran for nine seasons on NBC from 2006 to 2015, is not currently available on Paramount Plus. The show does not appear in Paramount's catalog, and there is no public announcement from Paramount Global or the show's producers indicating it will be added to the service in the future.

The absence is not unusual. Paramount Plus holds the rights to shows produced under the CBS and Paramount Television banners, but Marshalls was produced by Universal Television and NBC Studios. Those production companies license their content separately, and NBC shows often end up on different platforms depending on when the licensing deals were made and what terms were negotiated.

If you want to watch Marshalls, you will need to look elsewhere. The show is available through other streaming services and purchase options, which are covered below.

Key Takeaways

  • Marshalls is not on Paramount Plus because it was produced by Universal Television and NBC Studios, not by Paramount's production companies.
  • The show streams on Peacock, NBC's own streaming service, where most episodes are available with a subscription.
  • You can also buy individual episodes or full seasons through digital retailers like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play.
  • DVD box sets of Marshalls are still sold through retailers and secondhand marketplaces if you prefer physical media.

Where to watch Marshalls right now

Peacock, NBC's streaming service, is the primary home for Marshalls. The show is available to Peacock subscribers at the standard subscription tier, which costs $5.99 per month with ads or $11.99 per month without ads. Peacock occasionally offers promotional pricing for new subscribers, usually around $1 or $2 per month for the first few months.

If you do not have Peacock, you can purchase episodes or seasons through digital retailers. Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and Vudu all sell Marshalls episodes individually or in season bundles. Prices vary by retailer and whether you buy the episode to watch once (rent) or to keep permanently (buy). A single episode typically costs $2 to $3 to rent or $3 to $5 to own.

Some cable and satellite providers still offer on-demand access to Marshalls if you subscribe to their service. Check your provider's menu under "On Demand" or "Included Shows" to see whether it is available to you at no extra cost.

Why Marshalls is not on Paramount Plus

Streaming rights are sold separately for each show, and the buyer depends on who produced it and who negotiated the deal. Marshalls was made by Universal Television and NBC Studios, which means those companies own the right to license it to streaming platforms. Paramount Plus is owned by Paramount Global, which primarily streams shows and movies it produced itself or acquired through specific deals.

When a show ends, the production company can sell streaming rights to the highest bidder or to multiple platforms at once. In Marshalls' case, NBC secured the rights for its own platform, Peacock. That does not mean Paramount Plus could never get the show — licensing deals expire and are renegotiated — but there is no indication that Paramount has pursued it or that NBC is willing to share.

This is why many older network shows are scattered across different streaming services rather than all in one place. Each platform competes for the content that will attract subscribers, and the production companies play them against each other to maximize the price.

Other comedy shows on Paramount Plus if you like Marshalls

If you enjoy the workplace comedy style of Marshalls, Paramount Plus does have other options. The platform streams The Office, which shares a similar mockumentary format and ensemble cast dynamic, though The Office is set in a paper company rather than a police precinct. Paramount Plus also carries Parks and Recreation, another workplace ensemble comedy with a similar tone.

For police procedural comedies, Paramount Plus offers Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which has a comparable blend of humor and character development. The platform also has access to older sitcoms like Frasier and Cheers, which appeal to viewers who like character-driven comedy.

If you want to stay with Marshalls specifically, Peacock is the most direct route. The show is complete on that platform, so you can watch from the beginning without interruption.

Checking Paramount Plus for new additions

Paramount Plus updates its catalog regularly, adding new shows and movies each week. If you want to know whether Marshalls ever arrives, you can check Paramount's "New & Popular" section or search for the show directly in the app or website. If it is not there, the search will typically show you where else you can watch it.

You can also set up notifications on Paramount Plus for shows you are interested in. Some streaming services allow you to add a title to a watchlist and receive an alert if it becomes available. Check your account settings to see whether Paramount Plus offers this feature.

Following Paramount Plus's social media accounts or checking their monthly release announcements can also tell you what is coming. These announcements are usually published at the start of each month and list the major titles arriving that month.

Buying or renting Marshalls if streaming is not an option

If you prefer to own a copy of Marshalls rather than rely on a subscription, you can buy the complete series on DVD or Blu-ray. Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy sell box sets, and used copies are available through eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and other secondhand platforms. Prices for used box sets are often lower than new ones.

Digital purchase is another permanent option. When you buy an episode or season through Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, or Google Play, you own the right to watch it on that platform indefinitely. You will not lose access if the show leaves the service, as you would with a subscription. The trade-off is that you pay per episode or season rather than a monthly fee.
