“The King of Queens” will soon be on Paramount+ and Pluto TV thanks to a new licensing deal between Paramount Global and Sony Pictures Television.
It's about a blue-collar married couple, Doug (Kevin James), a deliveryman, and Carrie (Leah Remini), a secretary at a law firm, who live with Carrie’s oddball father,Arthur (Jerry Stiller), in Rego Park in Queens, New York.
The couple tries to deal with their marriage and solve their tiny problems, including occasional issues with Carrie’s father.
'We are excited to continue our partnership with Paramount through this multi-platform agreement for one of SPT’s most iconic sitcoms,' said Flory Bramnick, Sony Pictures TV’s executive vice president of distribution. 'We’re lucky to offer our partners highly desired content across any genre that can be tailored to their unique audience needs, and we believe' 'The King of Queens' will perform well across multiple platforms.”
