Paramount+ has plenty of new shows to binge this weekend. The streaming service is always adding new episodes of hit shows and even entire seasons to binge. In fact, it just added 82 new movies and shows on June 1. These aren't always new, original shows, either. While Paramount+ adds new shows from Paramount's networks, like CBS, as well as coproductions with international studios, it also brings back older shows, ripe for a binge-watch.
This weekend, I've got three shows worth watching for hours on end. First, there's Lena Waithe's hit series "The Chi," which is currently in the midst of its eighth and final season. But while it's wrapping up, a pair of shows are just starting. "Dutton Ranch" is a new spinoff sequel to "Yellowstone," and it's already become Paramount's biggest streaming hit this year. Finally, an animated take on the hit video game "Among Us" just dropped its entire first season, and it's got a surprisingly loaded voice cast.
Here are the three new to Paramount+ shows you need to binge-watch this weekend. If you need more recommendations, check out everything coming to Paramount+ in June 2026 for more options.
'The Chi' season 8
Genre: Drama series
What's it about? "The Chi" is arguably Chicago's answer to "The Wire." Created by Lena Waithe, it centers around a large ensemble cast as they live life in the Southside of Chicago. In this final season, a murder has rocked some of our cast, while others are struggling with everything from the prison system to the trials and tribulations of parenting.
Why you should watch it: If you need a series to binge, "The Chi" has you covered with 81 episodes to date, and an 82nd coming on Sunday. Not all seasons are created equal, but more than a few are genuinely great. The one catch is that this used to be a Showtime series, so you'll need Paramount+ Premium to watch it.

'Dutton Ranch' season 1
Genre: Neo-Western drama series
What's it about? Forget "Marshals"; this is the "Yellowstone" spinoff to watch. "Dutton Ranch" brings back Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly to the Sheridanverse, reprising their roles as Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton. This time, they're starting over in Texas, away from the baggage of the original series. Don't worry, though, there's still plenty of new drama.
Why you should watch it: "Yellowstone" never really spoke to me, but I've been enjoying the first few episodes of this show. In my "Dutton Ranch" review, I highlighted Ed Harris and Annette Bening as being big reasons I liked it, and after you watch, you'll see why.

'Among Us'
Genre: Animated sci-fi comedy series
What's it about? Based on the hit video game of the same name, "Among Us" follows a crew aboard a spaceship where murder is afoot. An alien shapeshifter has infiltrated and started causing chaos, and now, the crew has to out the imposter before they're all dead.
Why you should watch it: I'm not sure this needed to be a show, but I can see the murder mystery format working well. Plus, the cast for this show is worth watching. Yvette Nicole Brown, Randall Park, Dan Stevens, Wayne Knight, Elijah Wood and Patton Oswalt are joined by voice acting icons Ashley Johnson, Phil LaMarr and Debra Wilson for a loaded voice cast for this bingable animated series.
