The best shows on Paramount+ right now are Tulsa King, Dexter: Resurrection, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Landman, The Agency, and Colin From Accounts. Paramount+ is the subscription streaming home for Paramount originals and Showtime series, and October brings two major premieres alongside several binge-ready seasons. This month favors crime drama fans, sci-fi viewers, and comedy seekers at the same time. Plan around premiere dates and subscription tiers to avoid starting a show you cannot finish.

Which October premieres should you plan around?
Tulsa King season 4 arrives October 16, 2026. It stars Sylvester Stallone and continues Taylor Sheridan's mafia drama as a flagship October return, according to Rotten Tomatoes in its October streaming guide. Dexter: Resurrection season 2 follows on October 30, 2026.
It stars Michael C. Hall and continues Dexter Morgan's story as a 10-episode Showtime original, according to Paramount via The Futon Critic in the official season 2 trailer announcement. If you watch both, start Tulsa King first. Dexter arrives two weeks later and gives you time to finish the earlier premiere.
Which complete seasons can you binge now?
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 is fully streaming. All 10 episodes premiered July 23, 2026 and concluded September 24, 2026, with a six-episode final season 5 confirmed. That structure suits viewers who dislike weekly waits.
You get a closed season arc now while knowing the ending is mapped. Colin From Accounts also offers a complete binge. Its third and final season released September 10, 2026, with all episodes available at premiere exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. Romantic comedy here means relationship-driven humor, not network sitcom setups.
Why is Landman the momentum pick?
Landman season 2 drew 9.2 million global streaming views in its first two days. That total was up 262% from season 1, according to ComicBook.com reporting Paramount figures in its record-premiere report. The result made it the service's most-watched original premiere.
For film-minded viewers, that audience scale signals strong production momentum and cultural conversation. Watch it if you want the most current hit. Save quieter comedies for after the big drama conversation peaks.
What can you watch without the Showtime add-on?
The Agency is the simplest choice for Essential subscribers. The Michael Fassbender spy thriller released season 2 on June 21, 2026 as a Paramount+ Original, so both seasons stream on the basic Essential tier without a Showtime add-on.
Dexter: Resurrection works differently. Season 2 streams only on the Paramount+ Premium Plan, not Essential.
- Check your plan before October 30 if Dexter is your priority.
- Expect premiere dates and catalog availability to vary by country.
- Use Essential for The Agency, Strange New Worlds, Landman, Tulsa King, and Colin From Accounts planning, then upgrade only if needed for Dexter.
