New On Paramount: All 79 Movies & TV Shows Arriving In May

Summary Paramount+ provides a range of original series, like Yellowstone, and family-friendly content, with new episodes being added regularly, making it a mix of old and new.

Classic horror like The Hellraiser movies and modern series like Evil join Paramount+ this month.

Underrated rom-coms like What's Your Number and modern classics like Boogie Nights get the chance to find a new audience on streaming.

Paramount+ has plenty of new TV shows and movies coming in April 2024, including docuseries and family favorites. Paramount+ launched in March 2021 as a rebranding of the CBS All Access streaming platform, with the goal of expanding its offerings and reach. Thanks to the re-merger between CBS and Viacom in 2019, Paramount+ also has access to Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and MTV libraries. That usually means that library content is more exciting for subscribers than new content because they can binge existing series.

Unlike some of its competitors, Paramount+ has not put an emphasis on original movie programming except in the case of children’s films. However, the streaming service does have a popular lineup of exclusive original series, including the multiple-timeline and decade-spanning Yellowstone franchise. In April 2024, however, the big gains for Paramount+ were the additions of the final season of Star Trek: Discovery and the new Sonic spin-off series Knuckles. Those were two of the most-watched shows for the platform around the world. May 2024 sees more new content for Paramount+.

The Best Movies And Shows Coming To Paramount+ This Month

Close

Annihilation (2018) - May 1

Annihilation wasn’t a huge hit with audiences when it landed in theaters, but critics found it fascinating and thought-provoking. The sci-fi journey crossed genres to demonstrate a story of loss, acceptance, and even horror. Featuring a primarily female cast, the movie was anchored by the huge talents of Natalie Portman, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

The movie follows a group made of scientists and soldiers who travel through a mysterious “shimmer” into a pocket of the world where the rules of nature as they’ve been established simply do not apply. With some gorgeous visual effects and a harrowing journey, the movie really does keep the audience invested in just what is going on. Annihilation leaves more questions than answers, but that’s part of what makes the movie so good.

Boogie Nights (1997) - May 1

It’s rare for a movie centered on the world of adult films to be a widespread hit with audiences and critics, but that’s exactly what happened with Boogie Nights. The drama is considered a modern-day classic.

The story follows a producer who wants to make his adult films more than seedy videos sold at the back of a store. He wants to turn his projects into art, and thinks he’s found a way to do that with a promising young star. Unfortunately, fame and ego mean that a rise to the top of the industry is also accompanied by a fall. The movie saw Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, and Mark Wahlberg nominated for several awards when it premiered. Reynolds won a Golden Globe for his role.

Crawl (2019) - May 1

Creature features are usually seen as cheesy horror movies... that's not the case with Crawl.

Creature features are usually seen as cheesy horror movies. Audiences might enjoy them, but they aren’t always well-crafted movies, and they tend to get a reputation as being lesser projects compared to other horror. That’s not the case with Crawl. Crawl got a nomination from the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards and the Hollywood Critics Association for Best Wide Release and Best Horror of the Year, respectively.

The movie sees former Skins star Kaya Scodelario as a young woman searching for her father during a Category 5 hurricane in Florida. Unfortunately, her attempt to save her father gets interrupted when she’s trapped in a house with rising floodwaters and alligators. With earnest performances and actors who appear to be up for anything, the movie is both a fun and emotional ride.

Hellraiser Movies (1992-2005) - May 1

When it comes to horror movie franchises, it’s true that most fans will develop a fondness for the first movie in a franchise and believe that the quality dips with each successive sequel, prequel, remake, or reboot. That can be true, and it’s certainly true that not all of the Hellraiser movies are on equal footing, but the great thing about this collection being added to Paramount+ is that it’s nearly complete.

The first two movies and the 2022 reboot are not available on Paramount+, but most of the movies in between them are. That means fans who have only seen the new movie, or only seen the first movie, can get a better picture of the lore of the Hellraiser franchise with the six movies available to binge here.

Hellraiser and Hellraiser II are both available to stream on multiple platforms, like Shudder, Tubi, and PlutoTV.

Rocketman (2019) - May 1

Rocketman is very loosely based on the journey of Elton John’s music career. Upon initial release, some critics disliked that the movie doesn’t play by strict biopic rules, but it is a musical fantasy instead. The movie tells Elton John’s story with embellishments, high-flying musical performances, and a whole lot of heart.

The music, acting, and costumes are a highlight of the movie, providing for a very entertaining package. Taron Egerton found himself nominated for a slew of awards after the movie’s release and he won a Golden Globe for his work. Elton John also won a Golden Globe and Academy Award for the new song he penned for the movie alongside Bernie Taupin, “I’m Gonna Love Me Again.”

What’s Your Number (2011) - May 1

What’s Your Number brings up the double standards for dating

What’s Your Number is one of the most underrated R-rated rom-coms of the 21st century. It frequently gets glossed over in rom-com discussions in favor of PG-13 movies because that lower rating can appeal to a wider audience. The movie boasts a stellar comedic cast led by Anna Faris and Chris Evans though and deserves to be seen by as many rom-com fans as possible.

In the movie, Farris is a single woman who reads a magazine article about women finding “the one” before sleeping with a certain number of people. She becomes convinced she’s already met the love of her life and let them get away because her number is higher than what’s considered normal. Evans is her neighbor who helps her locate all the men she’s been with in exchange for using her apartment to escape his one-night stands. What’s Your Number brings up the double standards for dating among men and women and aims to create a sex-positive story.

Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, Anthony Mackie, and Martin Freeman all appeared in What’s Your Number and went on to play major characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Evil (2019) - May 23

Originally airing on CBS, Evil was moved to Paramount+ when ratings for the show declined. It’s worked much better on streaming where the show isn’t as confined by TV standards and audiences are able to watch the series at their own pace.

The series follows an eclectic group from very different backgrounds as they investigate claims of supernatural occurrences reported to the Catholic church. While the show is primarily a drama, it has elements of mystery and even crime procedurals as well as horror, allowing different episodes to cross genre lines in service of whatever story is being told for that week’s hour. Starring Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, and and Katja Herbers, the series makes for a fascinating, but sometimes dark, watch.

Season 4 is the final season of Evil.

Additional content is available to those Paramount+ subscribers who have the Showtime add-on as well. Television shows from Paramount-owned networks continue airing new episodes in May. Once they do, new episodes of the shows will also be available to stream on Paramount+ the day after they air, making May 2024 an even busier month than April for the streamer. Paramount also adds live sporting and news coverage regularly. The content available depends on the playing schedules.
