When it comes to streaming services, there are so many options, and today we’ll be looking at Paramount+. The platform has tons of series to watch, all of which you can watch with an active Paramount+ subscription.
While there are plenty of new shows coming to the platform soon, and some arriving as a part of the 2025 TV premiere schedule, there are so many to watch now, especially since this is one of the best streaming services.
For all of those who are wondering what to binge, here are the best that you can check out.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
One of the newest additions to the Star Trek franchise is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. A spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery, this series follows Christopher Pike, the iconic Captain of the USS Enterprise, and his crew as they travel the galaxy and explore new worlds that had never been touched before.
There are so many Star Trek original shows on Paramount+, from Star Trek: Picard to even an animated series, but Strange New Worlds is such a fun time because it brings back some of the classic characters that we all know from the original series, just in their younger forms. It’s received plenty of praise, and has some awesome visual effects – and it’s perfect for all the Trekkies out there. There are two seasons to stream and a third one is on the way, with it set for release in 2025.

Never Seen Again
If you’re looking for an excellent true crime series, then Never Seen Again is a great one. The series looks into cases of missing people who just suddenly vanish, and the investigation it has taken to try and find them.
As someone who loves true crime, I’m always interested in missing person cases. I mean, obviously, I don’t want someone to go missing, but I enjoy the story and how these cases came to be. You’ll be wondering how someone went missing just as much as I will by the time you’re done binging this show.

1883
If you’re a fan of Yellowstone and want to know more about the Dutton family from the original series, then 1883 is for you. This popular original on Paramount+ follows the Dutton family, 125 years before the events of Yellowstone, as they set off across the Great Plains and build the legacy that you all know and love now.
1883’s debut was a huge hit for Paramount+, bringing in plenty of fans who love the original story of the Dutton family and want to know more. The show was incredibly well-received and features all the western-goodness you could expect, but further expands the world of Yellowstone.
You can also check out 1923, another spinoff of Yellowstone that stars a hat-wearing Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.

School Spirits
Starring Peyton List, School Spirits is a teen drama mixed with the supernatural, and follows a teenager who is stuck in the afterlife and investigating her own disappearance while learning to go to a high school where plenty of other ghosts cause her even more drama – even as she gets closer to the truth of what happened to her.
As someone who really does like the best supernatural teen dramas, this is a great one to see and perfect for anyone who is a fan of the genre. It’s not as gritty as some other teen dramas that have come and gone in the last few years, like Riverdale or The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but there’s still plenty to love and enjoy. At the time of updating this, Season 2 is currently airing.

FBI True
If you want a great docuseries, then FBI True is an awesome one that you can stream exclusively on Paramount+. The series takes a glance at real cases of the FBI through the stories of former agents.
Look, we live in a world that is dominated by FBI shows and cop series. While those are fun and entertaining, why not check out a show that really digs deep into what the FBI is really like? It’s something that is often kept from the general public, but any time I get to learn anything, this is the kind of show that I tend to head towards. There are six seasons of this show, so why not? Dive into the rabbit hole.
Stream FBI True on Paramount+.
The Family Stallone
Did you ever think that Sylvestor Stallone would get a reality show? Well, here we are. The Family Stallone is the reality TV show that documents the lives of the Stallones, including the wives and daughters of the famous actor.
Sometimes, you really want something you can just turn your brain off for, and The Family Stallone is the answer to that. You’re not signing up for some intense television because honestly, it’s just a fun TV show. The Stallone’s obviously all have great chemistry and they’re enjoyable to watch. There’s two seasons out.
Stream The Family Stallone on Paramount+.
Why Women Kill
In this dark dramedy, we get to see several broken romances that lead to many surprising events, and the women who are trying to take back control of their lives.
Let me just say that while the premise seems super simple, the stories that are told really make you almost want to root for these women to kill these people. It will ensnare you so quickly that you’ll be wanting to plan their murders, too. Why Women Kill is a lot of fun to watch, and if you’re into dark comedy, Why Women Kill has plenty of it.
Stream Why Women Kill on Paramount+.
Frasier
Yes, you read that right. Frasier has come back, this time in the form of a streaming show. It’s a continuation of the original sitcom that lasted for more than a decade, following Kelsey Grammer as Frasier as he sets out on a new path in life, after the death of his father, as a Harvard professor to be closer to his son.
I mean, there’s really not a lot I have to say to make you watch this. If you were a fan of the original, then you’re probably going to like this one. Obviously, nothing ever beats the first show, but this one is a creature comfort that is the best way to spend a chill Saturday afternoon. There are two seasons.
Mafia Spies
Oh, do you want another true crime series? Mafia Spies is the one for you. The series is a brand new one from Paramount+ that tells the story of the conspiracy that led to the famous assassination of Fidel Castro. It’s a story really unlike any other and super interesting if you’re searching for a new case to follow. Be sure to check it out.
Stream Mafia Spies on Paramount+.
Mayor Of Kingstown
If you want a crime thriller, then Mayor of Kingstown is a great pick. The series, starring Jeremy Renner, tells the story of a fictional company town in Michigan where the business of incarceration is extremely profitable – which means that crime runs rampant. Renner stars as Mike McLusky, one of the main people keeping the peace of the town when order and justice is something that is not a daily occurrence.
While I will say that the series had its growing pains in its first season, I actually really enjoyed the second, and Renner delivers a compelling performance. There’s nothing quite as suspenseful as a crime thriller, and Mayor of Kingstown is that and more, with three seasons to watch.
Stream Mayor of Kingstown on Paramount+.
Evil
If you want a drama, mixed in with some supernatural fun, look no further than Evil. Ever wonder what would happen if a skeptic about the supernatural and a priest-in-training team up to look into strange happenings that involve ghosts, demons, and more? Evil is all about that, and how no matter what, evil finds its way into everyone in some way, shape, or form.
The premise sounds super interesting. I mean, a skeptic regarding supernatural cases and a priest-in-training who believes in ghosts and demons and all of that, working together? I feel like that’s always a recipe for success. But, trust me when I say you won’t expect some of the amazing twists and turns that this show has to offer. No matter how you feel in real life about the supernatural, you’ll enjoy this show. The Evil cast is also astonishingly talented as well and pulls off this series amazingly.
With five seasons, this is the perfect show for a good binging.
Yonder
While it originally hails from South Korea, this is a Paramount+ original and it’s a shame that not that many people know about it. The series tells the story of a man who is able to meet his dead wife in this unknown space called “yonder,” and it’s more than he ever imagined it to be.
This is a sci-fi series that is really unlike anything else. While there’s only one season, it’s truly out of this world and so cool, and if you know South Korean media, you know that it’ll take epic twists and turns unlike any other. It’s creative in a way I haven’t experienced in a long time.
Criminal Minds: Evolution
They’re back – and they’re solving crime. After fifteen seasons, countless cast members leaving and returning, and so many storylines it’s almost hard to keep up with, Criminal Minds brought back some of its cast members for the spinoff, Criminal Minds: Evolution. Now, the group we all know is hunting down a new threat – a network of serial killers that was built anonymously during the pandemic.
Criminal Minds is arguably one of the most successful CBS shows, and was for a reason, because of its ever-changing cast and interesting storylines, but even Criminal Minds: Evolution is worth watching as well. The addition of this new threat that had never been seen in the original show made it super intriguing to watch for any fan of the first series. And, it’s always great to see the characters you care about come back. There’s a third season already planned.
Stream Criminal Minds: Evolution on Paramount+.
Knuckles
Based on the character from Sonic the Hedgehog, this miniseries was made for video game lovers. Knuckles is a spin-off of Sonic the Hedgehog movies and follows Knuckles the Echidna as he trains an Earthly sheriff named Wade Whipple in the ways of the Echidna – but to help Wade win a bowling tournament.
Knuckles is a miniseries, so there are no known plans for a second season, but it’s a fun show to watch if you’re a fan of the Sonic game. And there’s honestly just something so soothing about hearing Idris Elba voice over this anthropomorphic red echidna that makes me want to keep watching it because why the heck not?
Stream Knuckles on Paramount+.
Tulsa King
Starring Sylvester Stallone in his first scripted television series ever, Tulsa King follows Dwight Manfredi, otherwise known as “The General.” While he was famous in New York City for his time as a Mafia capo, he had to serve a 25 year long sentence in prison, and upon his release, he’s sent all the way to Tulsa, Oklahoma by his boss. But even there, he finds a way to become the king of the criminal world there – rather, the Tulsa King.
I love this series. I really do. I’m not a huge fan of mafia stories, just because I feel like it’s a genre that has been done to death, but Tulsa King does it in a way that really stands out. Stallone is really good in his leading role, and gives an authentic performance, but the addition of the story happening in a place like Tulsa adds to it, because you would never expect it to be there. With two seasons out, there’s plenty to watch already, and a third and fourth one on the way.
Stream Tulsa King on Paramount+.
Special Ops: Lioness
Are you craving a spy thriller? Because boy, do I have one for you. Special Ops: Lioness stars Zoe Saldana in the lead role, and follows the story of a Marine who is drafted into the Lioness program, a female U.S.M.C. team, and her task is simple - to get close to the daughter of a financier, who just so happens to be a terrorist and a threat to the United States.
I love this show and I’m not even a huge fan of spy thrillers. I think it’s mainly because Saldana is just a badass as always, but there are plenty of other great reasons. The action is killer, the story is fun, and the cast is filled to the brim with stars, like Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman, and many more. I think anyone will find something to love with this show – and there’s even a second season on the way. The show was also created by Taylor Sheridan, who co-created Yellowstone universe, Mayor of Kingstown, and created Tulsa King.
Stream Special Ops: Lioness on Paramount+.
The Good Fight
The Good Fight is one of those dramas where you want to stay for the whole ride. The series, which is a sequel to The Good Wife, follows the story of Diane Lockhart, played by Christine Baranski, who was a prestigious partner at a law firm. But soon, she ends up losing all her money – as well as her employment – when a scandal occurs involving her mentee/goddaughter, forcing them to rethink their lives moving forward. This leads them to join one of the biggest law firms in Chicago.
I will say that for a series like this, you have to be into politics and the legalities of the world, because there’s a lot of jargon and story around that. But, if you enjoyed The Good Wife, I have a feeling this will be your next best series to watch. With six seasons total, The Good Fight offers an enriching story, brilliant acting, and plenty of drama for anyone to enjoy.
Stream The Good Fight on Paramount+.
South Park Specials
Last but not least, we have to talk about the South Park specials on Paramount+. The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, got a huge deal with Paramount a few years back, and now, we’ve gotten some hilarious specials from them that are exclusive for the platform, two of which take a hilarious look at COVID-19 through the eyes of our favorite South Park characters, and one talking about streaming services and the war for the best one out there – using the metaphor of actual water streams.
This isn’t even the end of all the South Park specials that are planned for the platform, but I can tell you I’ve laughed so incredibly hard at these first four, and they’ve made my day over and over again whenever I get the chance to revisit this town. In this day and age where the actual show is only releasing a few episodes per season, I’m quite thankful for these specials – and if you’re a fan of South Park, you should certainly check them out, too.

With the amount of content that’s available, I wouldn’t be surprised if this list needs updating not too long from now to accommodate even more amazing originals. From true crime to animation, the world of Paramount+ is endless and there’s so much more to enjoy. Now to binge all of School Spirits yet again.
