The Leading Free Streaming Television Platform’s New Campaign and Activations Pay Homage to Fandoms Everywhere
Los Angeles, CA (January 30, 2024) – Pluto TV, the leading free streaming television service, is kicking off its 10th anniversary year by announcing its first-ever Super Bowl commercial that brings to life the brand’s commitment to fandoms by reminding audiences of TV the way it should be – free and easy. Leading up to the Big Game, Pluto TV will also host an all-out blitz in Las Vegas, with activations on-the-ground and continuing to spotlight its all-new look.
Pluto TV’s Super Bowl commercial will premiere during the Super Bowl LVIII telecast on Sunday, February 11th. Shot by award-winning director Stacy Wall of Imperial Woodpecker Productions, based on the creative ideation from LA-based independent creative agency HAYMAKER, the spot takes viewers somewhere between Idaho and a dream, where lies Pluto TV Country, a place where the best couch potatoes in the world are raised on the finest content from Pluto TV – content that’s abundant, free and easy.
Each potato represents the fandoms that Pluto TV plays host to regularly. In documentary style, rows of couch potatoes, watching Pluto TV, espouse emotions in confessional-style fashion, while feeding on an array of diverse programming and genres ranging from thrillers, dramas, reality, comedies, telenovelas and more. Beloved and popular IP featured in the spot includes The Walking Dead, Star Trek: The Next Generation, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Yellowstone, The Price is Right, Survivor, Blue Bloods, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, CBS Mornings, SpongeBob SquarePants and more. There’s even a cat potato watching Pluto TV’s Cats 24/7.
In an ode to the great American pastime of TV-watching, the brand new spot is centered around the essence of fandom and how viewer moods dictate the content they seek. And, in turn, the manner in which Pluto TV curates the ideal streaming environment – a service that is easy to use and endlessly entertaining, empowering viewers who appreciate lean-back viewing while leaning into the programming they love.
“At some point over the past decade, the world of television became undeniably crowded and complicated, making audiences yearn for simpler days. Super Bowl LVIII offers an ideal opportunity to connect with viewers seeking that easy and comforting essence of television, a return to TV the way it should be,” said Valerie Kaplan, Global SVP, Head of Consumer Marketing, Pluto TV. "We're excited to share our brand story with fans nationwide, using our authentic voice, irreverent sense of humor, and an unforgettable crop of couch potatoes who love TV as much as we, at Pluto, do."
The on-air ad will kick off a wider marketing campaign that will run across linear, CTV, radio, streaming audio, out-of-home, digital display and social media over the coming months.
“We are thrilled for Pluto TV’s Super Bowl close-up with a memorable, relatable and entertaining metaphor that leverages Pluto TV’s premium programming in an unexpected way,” said Terry Minogue, EVP Creative Marketing, Paramount Streaming. “The Super Bowl is the biggest day of the year in advertising and we seized the opportunity by generating creative that is brand forward and easily accessible, just like Pluto TV."
On the ground, to bolster its first Big Game presence and further highlight its commitment to free and easy, Pluto TV will take residency with several sponsorships of on-site events such as Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate and Gronk Beach.
Pluto TV’s brand new look was unveiled recently as the brand prepared for enhanced visibility during the Super Bowl and its 10th anniversary later this year. The bold new appearance features an updated logo, motion graphics and color scheme. The signature font of the logo remains, with updates being made to the overall shape and placement, as well as a move to a new primary Plutonium.’ The logo’s motion graphic features a nod to its planetary namesake, with an orbiting motion reflecting both the gravitational pull of Pluto TV’s entertainment universe and its programming model of centering around fans.
And finally, to ramp up the excitement in the weeks surrounding the game, Pluto TV launched ‘NFL Super Bowl Classics’ channel featuring past Super Bowl games and specials 24/7 so football enthusiasts can relive every pass, touchdown and Hail Mary of the most iconic showdowns in sports history. The first of its kind, this channel is exclusively on Pluto TV for a limited time, now until February 21.

Paramount+ has announced that production is underway in and around Fort Worth, Texas, on the highly anticipated original drama series LANDMAN, starring Oscar® winner Billy Bob Thornton. Co-created by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, LANDMAN is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Sheridan's Bosque Ranch Productions exclusively for Paramount+.
In addition, Paramount+ has announced that Golden Globe® nominee Demi Moore will also star in the original drama series as a series regular. Moore will play Cami, wife to one of the most powerful oil men in Texas and friend of Tommy Norris, played by series lead Billy Bob Thornton. Co-created by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, LANDMAN is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Sheridan's Bosque Ranch Productions exclusively for Paramount+.
Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, LANDMAN is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the notable 11-part podcast "Boomtown," the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it's reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.
"Demi Moore is an iconic and extraordinary talent," said Chris McCarthy, President and CEO, SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios. "We are thrilled to have her join Billy Bob Thornton and the star-studded cast of LANDMAN, our next epic series from Taylor Sheridan."
Moore has proven herself to be one of the industry's most accomplished performers, lending her talents to an array of revered films and television both in front of and behind the camera. The actress set a record in 1995 when she became the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, a testament to her star power and box-office appeal. Most recently, Moore can be seen in the second season of Ryan Murphy's anthology series Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans as socialite Ann Woodward, a former showgirl and radio actress who infamously was accused of murdering her husband in 1955. The actress soon will be seen in Coralie Fargeat's first studio feature, The Substance, alongside Margaret Qualley. Moore's acting career took off in the late 1980's when she starred in St. Elmo's Fire. She then went on to star in such iconic films as About Last Night... , Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal, The Scarlet Letter, Disclosure and G.I. Jane. Success poured into the following years with Moore consistently starring in well-grossing films including Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Bobby and Margin Call, among many others. She produced and lent her voice to QCode's podcast "Dirty Diana," which is being adapted into a series in which Moore will star. In 2019, she added New York Times best seller to her lengthy list of credits with her memoir Inside Out.
In addition to Thornton and Moore, the series stars Ali Larter (The Last Victim), Michelle Randolph (1923), Jacob Lofland (Joker 2), Kayla Wallace (When Calls the Heart), James Jordan (Yellowstone), Mark Collie (Nashville) and Paulina Chávez (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia).
Currently filming in and around Fort Worth, Texas, LANDMAN is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Christian Wallace, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch, for Imperative Development LLC, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt, for Texas Monthly, also executive produce. Peter Feldman serves as co-executive producer.
The series is the latest addition to Sheridan's growing slate on Paramount+, which includes 1923, 1883, SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS, MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN, TULSA KING and LAWMEN: BASS REEVES.
