‘Wylde Pak’ (2025–)

Nickelodeon’s animated comedy follows half-siblings Lily and Jack as they adjust to living under one roof while helping their family’s pet-grooming and boarding business. Voice leads include Nikki Castillo as Lily and Benjamin Plessala as Jack, with supporting turns by Ben Pronsky, Jee Young Han, and Jean Yoon. The show focuses on a blended family, everyday mishaps at the shop, and school-home balancing acts.

Created by Paul Watling and Kyle Marshall, ‘Wylde Pak’ is produced by Nickelodeon Animation for Paramount, with executive producers Seonna Hong and Conrad Vernon. Recent promos have teased guest voice appearances from Gillian Jacobs and Jon Glaser, and the visual approach leans on expressive 2D character animation anchored by sitcom-style episodic stories.

‘Parallel Me’ (2025)

This German sci-fi dramedy centers on Toni Falk, a high-performing change manager whose life implodes after she’s fired—only for a mysterious figure named Ariadne to open doors to alternate versions of her life. Malaya Stern Takeda leads as Toni, with Maria Schrader as Ariadne and David Kross among the ensemble, as the story branches across Berlin and far-flung locales.

Developed by showrunner and head writer Jana Burbach, ‘Parallel Me’ is produced by Gaumont GmbH and Warrior Bear Productions for Paramount. Episode directors include Felix Binder, Vanessa Jopp, and Sebastian Sorger, and the production previously used the working title ‘Anywhere’ while it filmed across multiple European locations.

‘NCIS: Tony & Ziva’ (2025–)

The newest entry in the ‘NCIS’ franchise reconnects Anthony DiNozzo and Ziva David as they navigate international intrigue and family stakes with their daughter Tali. Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo return in the title roles, joined by Isla Gie as Tali and supporting cast members such as Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, and James D’Arcy.

Created and run by John McNamara for CBS Studios, the series films across European locations and blends weekly missions with serialized arcs tied to Tony’s private-security background and Ziva’s intelligence training. The launch strategy pairs a multi-episode premiere drop with weekly installments designed to keep the chase moving.

‘Thirst Trap: The Fame. The Fantasy. The Fallout.’ (2025)

This two-part docuseries examines how a young creator’s viral ascent on short-form platforms sparked intense fandom, brand deals, and public controversies. The narrative is built from first-person interviews, archival posts, and behind-the-scenes material charting discovery, amplification, crisis, and attempted repair.

Produced directly for Paramount+, the series features accounts from the creator at its center, family members, early moderators, and reporters who cover online culture. Structurally, it maps a clear timeline of posts, livestreams, and statements, offering a production-level view of how influencer personas are built and tested in real time.

‘The Tiny Chef Show’ (2022–2025)

This live-action and stop-motion hybrid follows the pint-sized, herbivorous host of a cozy kitchen nestled in a tree-stump home, complete with simple recipes, musical interludes, and guest narrators. Episodes pair gentle problem-solving with visual gags rooted in scale and kitchen craft, making it an easy, all-ages watch.

Produced in partnership with Nickelodeon and Paramount, ‘The Tiny Chef Show’ combines practical puppetry and frame-by-frame animation. Credits feature a rotating roster of directors and writers with backgrounds in preschool storytelling, puppetry, and animation-friendly set design, and episodes often feature celebrity guest spots.

‘Rubble & Crew’ (2023–)

A preschool spin-off of ‘PAW Patrol’, this series follows Rubble and his extended pup family as they tackle community builds in Builder Cove. Expect big construction set pieces, machine-powered problem-solving, and recurring run-ins with the troublemaker Speed Meister.

The show is produced by Spin Master Entertainment with animation by Jam Filled Toronto and was developed by Bradley Zweig. Voice talent includes Luxton Handspiker as Rubble alongside performers such as Sabrina Jalees, Lisa Norton, and Cory Doran, with bright, construction-themed setpieces designed around teamwork and practical skills.

‘Liberation: D-Day to Berlin’ (2025–)

A World War II docuseries, ‘Liberation: D-Day to Berlin’ uses restored and colorized archival footage with expert testimony to chart the Allied advance from Normandy through the Low Countries, the winter counteroffensive, and the final push into Germany. Narration links unit movements, logistics, and civilian impact to the larger campaign.

Episodes are directed across the season by Ian Bremner, Jonathan Drake, and Rosalind Bain, with narration by Cerith Flinn. The production organizes chapters by theater and phase, emphasizing contemporaneous film and clear military timelines to deliver an accessible, panoramic account of the European campaign.

‘Dating Naked UK’ (2024– )

Hosted by Rylan Clark, this reality format introduces singles who meet and date entirely n*de, with new arrivals, elimination points, and shifting alliances as connections form. The setting brings together group activities, one-on-one time, and ceremony-style selections that move relationships forward or send participants home.

Produced by Nest Productions, the current run opens with multiple episodes on day one before moving to a weekly cadence. The UK-led version keeps the host-driven villa format intact while refreshing casting, challenges, and the social-game layer that builds across episodes.

‘Dexter: Resurrection’ (2025–)

A new chapter in the ‘Dexter’ franchise, ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ returns to the perspective of forensic analyst Dexter Morgan and the meticulous code that targets killers who evade justice. Michael C. Hall reprises the defining role, with the series re-centering on investigative rhythms in Miami Metro and the double-life tension that drives the character.

Developed under the Showtime/Paramount banner, the project aligns with the creative lineage that began with James Manos Jr.’s adaptation of Jeff Lindsay’s novels. Clyde Phillips is a key creative presence, and the production builds case-of-the-week elements alongside season-long arcs tied to secrecy, surveillance, and the consequences of the code.

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

Set aboard the USS Enterprise years before the original five-year mission of James T. Kirk, ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ follows Captain Christopher Pike and crew on episodic explorations that still weave in character-driven arcs. The ensemble features Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Celia Rose Gooding, Jess Bush, Babs Olusanmokun, and Christina Chong.

Developed by Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet, the series is produced by CBS Studios with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment. Showrunners have included Henry Alonso Myers and Akiva Goldsman, and the production frequently taps franchise veterans behind the camera—Jonathan Frakes among them—to deliver classic adventure with modern polish.
