### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Tried downloading this episode of The Adventures of Paddington: https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/adventures-of-paddington-bear/video/ccZ8hCalSmCTbjuH1XBvOBlXjILZG4UB/the-adventures-of-paddington-paddington-finds-a-pigeon-paddington-and-the-chores-list/ with the following command:

`./yt-dlp_macos https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/adventures-of-paddington-bear/video/ccZ8hCalSmCTbjuH1XBvOBlXjILZG4UB/the-adventures-of-paddington-paddington-finds-a-pigeon-paddington-and-the-chores-list/ --cookies paramountplus.com_cookies.txt` 

Also tried with the current master branch and got the same response:
```
[ParamountPlus] ccZ8hCalSmCTbjuH1XBvOBlXjILZG4UB: Downloading JSON metadata
ERROR: [ParamountPlus] ccZ8hCalSmCTbjuH1XBvOBlXjILZG4UB: Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden (caused by <HTTPError 403: 'Forbidden'>); please report this issue on  https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using  yt-dlp -U
```

I had a quick look in the https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/extractor/paramountplus.py file, however the comment on L19 would suggest that this has only been built for US based accounts?

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [X] Run **your** yt-dlp command with **-vU** flag added (`yt-dlp -vU <your command line>`)
- [X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with `[debug] Command-line config`) and insert it below
