If you’re planning a Paramount+ binge, this week delivers a fresh slate of debuts and returning favorites—crime dramas, comedies, and franchise spin-offs—dropping across Friday through Sunday, plus a few earlier-in-the-week arrivals ready to queue up by the weekend. Below are ten timely picks, prioritized by the newest premieres first, then Paramount originals and franchise pillars, and finally other notable entries so your watchlist is both up-to-date and varied.
‘Boston Blue’ (2025– )

A ‘Blue Bloods’ universe expansion, ‘Boston Blue’ follows Detective Danny Reagan after he transfers to the Boston Police Department and teams with Detective Lena Silver. Donnie Wahlberg headlines alongside Sonequa Martin-Green, with Bridget Moynahan appearing in the premiere and also directing an episode this season. Executive producers include Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis, with Jerry Bruckheimer among the producing team. New episodes land Friday, making this the marquee launch to start your weekend.
‘Sheriff Country’ (2025– )

Set in the same world as ‘Fire Country’, this series centers on Sheriff Mickey Fox, played by Morena Baccarin, as she patrols small-town Edgewater while juggling complicated family ties. The show builds from threads introduced in ‘Fire Country’, with W. Earl Brown in support and storylines that move between backroads cases and county politics. It shares creative DNA with its parent series while carving out investigations driven by Fox’s leadership style. It premieres Friday alongside the mothership series, making for an easy double-feature.
‘Fire Country’ (2022– )

Inspired in part by co-creator Max Thieriot’s Northern California roots, ‘Fire Country’ follows inmate firefighter Bode Donovan as he works with Cal Fire and a release program. The drama emphasizes high-risk rescues and family dynamics in Edgewater, with Kevin Alejandro, Jordan Calloway, and Diane Farr in key roles. Recent episodes tie directly to ‘Sheriff Country’, establishing crossover connective tissue. The new drop arrives Friday, ideal for a back-to-back with the spin-off.
‘The Road’ (2025– )

This competition series sends 12 emerging musicians on a touring gauntlet, performing as opening acts for a headliner as live audiences and mentorship shape who advances. Keith Urban appears on-screen, with Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan among the executive producers. The show mixes performance footage with behind-the-scenes logistics and artist development beats. It lands Sunday, giving you a music-forward finisher to the weekend.
‘Tracker’ (2024– )

Adapted from Jeffery Deaver’s ‘The Never Game’, ‘Tracker’ follows reward-seeker Colter Shaw as he crisscrosses the U.S. solving cases with survival skills and a rotating support team. The series stars Justin Hartley and features executive producers Ken Olin and Elwood Reid, with music by Tyler Bates and Joanne Higginbottom. Episodes blend case-of-the-week storytelling with an ongoing family mystery. A Sunday arrival makes it an easy capstone after the new competition series.
‘Watson’ (2025– )

Set a year after Sherlock Holmes’s death, ‘Watson’ follows Dr. John Watson leveraging his medical expertise to solve crimes while facing Moriarty’s lingering shadow. Created by Craig Sweeny, it stars Morris Chestnut with Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Inga Schlingmann, Ritchie Coster, and Rochelle Aytes.
