The Paramount+ Library

Paramount+ adds new content to it's streaming service throughout the year. Since it's owned by Paramount Pictures, it gets first streaming rights to popular movie franchises like Mission Impossible and Sonic the Hedgehog. The service also includes CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, and Nickelodeon content. You can also access the full Showtime library if you have a premium subscription.

Some of the most notable offerings on Paramount+ are its original content. This includes the entirety of the Star Trek franchise, and the most recent premiere of Star Trek: Star Fleet Academy is continuing to grow that list. Other really popular shows included are the Yellowstone prequels, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and Halo.

In addition to original content, Paramount+ is now the home of UFC fights. These fights were previously only available as PPV on ESPN+ (now ESPN Unlimited), so this is a significant change in 2026.

On the movie front, Paramount+ is getting all of Paranormal Activity movies as well as the Jackass movies and Denis Villeneuve's Arrival.
