‘Crutch’ (2025)

The new comedy series ‘Crutch’ recently debuted on Paramount+. It stars Tracy Morgan as Francois “Frank” Crutchfield, a widower whose quiet retirement plans are disrupted when his grown children and grandchildren unexpectedly move back home. Created as a spin-off from ‘The Neighborhood’ and with Cedric the Entertainer as an executive producer, the show follows Frank as he juggles family life and tries to keep his flooring business successful. ‘Crutch’ premiered the week of November 3, 2025.

‘Rubble & Crew’ (2023–)

‘Rubble & Crew’ is a spin-off of ‘PAW Patrol’ that follows Rubble, a bulldog, and his family as they take on building and construction challenges in Builder Cove. The show launched on Paramount+ the week of November 5, 2025, and was animated by Jam Filled Toronto with production by Spin Master Entertainment. Designed for younger audiences, ‘Rubble & Crew’ highlights the importance of teamwork, figuring things out, and building with science, technology, engineering, and math. The voice cast includes Luxton Handspiker, Lucien Duncan Reid, and Shazdeh Kapadia.

‘The Smurfs’ (2021–)

The Smurfs are back in a brand new, computer-animated series! This revival brings Peyo’s beloved blue characters – including Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy, and Hefty – to life in 13-minute episodes. Created by IMPS and Dupuis, the show has a similar look to the movie ‘Smurfs: The Lost Village’ and features the original French voice actors, like Jean-Loup Horwitz and Anna Ramade. New episodes arrived on Paramount+ on November 19, 2025, making it a great, quick watch for the whole family.

‘South Park’ (1997–)

Let me tell you, ‘South Park’ is still a massive draw for Paramount+. They’re really leaning into it with exclusive events and specials alongside the regular episodes – though what you can watch depends on where you are. The show, for those who need a refresher, follows four kids in Colorado and brilliantly skewers current events and pop culture. What I really appreciate about Paramount+ is how they organize everything – they group specials and longer story arcs together, making it super easy to binge-watch. In fact, it was the most-watched thing on the service as of mid-August, and that says a lot!

‘Dexter: Resurrection’ (2025–)

“Dexter: Resurrection” brings back the suspenseful crime-solving that fans loved in the original “Dexter.” This new series continues the story while also revisiting the core principles of the first show. You can watch it on Paramount+, alongside all the previous seasons, making it easy to refresh your memory or catch up. Paramount+ also conveniently provides timelines and summaries to help you get up to speed. It was one of the platform’s biggest hits during the summer of 2025.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ (2022–)

This popular series takes place before the adventures of Captain Kirk, following Captain Christopher Pike, Spock, and Number One as they explore the galaxy aboard the USS Enterprise. Each episode features a new, standalone adventure – encountering new worlds, alien civilizations, and classic science fiction challenges – all while respecting the established ‘Star Trek’ timeline. You can watch full seasons on Paramount+, which also links this show to other ‘Star Trek’ content. It was consistently one of the most-watched shows on the streaming service in 2025.

‘Frasier’ (2023–2024)

The new ‘Frasier’ series brings Dr. Frasier Crane back to Boston, where he rebuilds relationships with his family and takes a job at a university. Made by CBS Studios using a traditional multi-camera setup, the show continues Frasier’s story which began on ‘Cheers’ with a fresh cast of characters. You can watch the revival on Paramount+, where it’s easy to find the first episodes, special holiday content, and key storylines. In August 2025, it was among the most-watched shows on the streaming service.

‘NCIS’ (2003–)

NCIS follows a team that investigates crimes involving the Navy and Marine Corps, using a combination of scientific analysis, on-site work, and legal expertise. You can find many seasons of the show, plus spin-offs like NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: Hawai‘i, on Paramount+. The platform also organizes episodes and storylines, including crossovers, so you can easily follow the action. Throughout 2025, NCIS consistently ranked among Paramount+’s most popular shows.

‘Criminal Minds’ (2005–)

The show follows the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit as they create criminal profiles to predict and stop future crimes. You can watch all seasons and the new continuation, ‘Criminal Minds: Evolution,’ on Paramount+. The streaming service makes it easy to track characters and storylines with clear menus and season guides, and it was consistently one of Paramount+’s most popular shows.

‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ (1999–)

‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ takes place in Bikini Bottom and each episode includes two separate stories starring SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and friends. You can find many seasons of the show, along with spin-offs like ‘Kamp Koral’ and ‘The Patrick Star Show,’ all on Paramount+. The app makes it easy for families to find episodes grouped by themes, and the show is consistently one of the most popular on the platform.
