Inside Peek is a new, interactive Paramount+ feature that layers on-screen factoids into video playback on Roku. The feature debuted in conjunction with the Season 2 premiere of The Agency.
Inside Peek displays trivia, context, and behind-the-scenes details on screen while an episode plays. Viewers can toggle the feature on or off and adjust how frequently factoids appear. For those who remember VH1’s Pop-Up Video, you already know how cool added facts about the shows you love can be. That’s right: Pop-up facts are so back.
How it works
It’s as simple as streaming. Inside Peek factoids surface during playback without pausing or interrupting the episode. Once viewers opt-in to the feature, they can turn Inside Peek on and off as they please and customize how factoids appear on-screen. Want to go deeper into the episode? Inside Peek will offer up factoids throughout. Rather sit back and enjoy the show in its base form? Inside Peek is here to enhance the viewing experience – never hijack it.
The format has a precedent. VH1’s 1990s favorite Pop-Up Video displayed bubble-style facts over music videos as they played. Inside Peek applies the same basic idea, this time to scripted television. It’s added value – and added fun! – for those who crave more while streaming.
Inside Peek content for Season 2 of The Agency has been available since the day it premiered, June 21. If you missed Season 1, don’t worry: The Agency Season 2 is the perfect place to start.

Inside Peek is currently available for Paramount+ titles (for Paramount+ Essential and Paramount+ Premium subscribers) on Roku only. Visit the Paramount+ Help Center for details on plans and pricing and how to manage your Paramount+ subscription via Roku.
