Everything Coming to Paramount+ in May

There’s plenty of new entertainment coming to Paramount+ this May for everyone in the household. Next month will see the premiere of brand new seasons of Paramount+ Original series Evil and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, as well as new episodes of The Chi for premium subscribers. Two new music documentaries, LOLLA: The Story of Lollapalooza and Kiss The Future, join the critically acclaimed biopic Bob Marley: One Love, which has ranked as the No. 1 movie on the service among active subscriber households since its debut on April 12. And the UEFA Champions League should deliver edge-of-your-seat excitement for soccer fans in the lead-up to the final on June 1.

 

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Throughout its run, we’ve followed an elite team of believers and skeptics tasked by the Vatican to investigate purported demonic events in the Paramount+ Original series Evil. The supernatural drama is the creation of husband-and-wife showrunners and writing partners, Robert and Michelle King, who have helmed a number of beloved series including The Good Wife, The Good Fight and Elsbeth.

Your prayers will be answered when Evil’s final season premieres on May 23.

 

BEHIND THE STREAMS

Next month, we return to the Windy City when The Chi  resumes. The SHOWTIME drama has never shied away from tough subjects, and this season delves even deeper into the internal struggles of life in Chicago’s South Side. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and one focus this season is seeking help with mental health. Several characters form a healing circle to create a safe space to discuss relationships, challenges and the intricacies of life.

Executive producer and co-showrunner Justin Hillian maintains that differentiating between general mental health and the nuances of Black men’s experience was a must. “We were in the writers’ room discussing what we wanted to see on television and there was a consensus on Black male vulnerability,” Hillian explained. “There are so many stereotypes about Black men. It felt like the perfect forum to explore the interiority of these men.”

Head back to The Chi on May 10 for the rest of season six on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME

 

IN TUNE

Don’t worry about a thing because the box-office hit Bob Marley: One Love  has arrived on Paramount+. Starring Kingsley Ben-Adir as the reggae icon, the global success offers an intimate look at the man, his music, and the messages that have become the cornerstone of his legacy.

May promises to keep the jams coming. LOLLA: The Story of Lollapalooza  chronicles the impact of Chicago’s famed music festival since its debut in 1991. Produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Kiss The Future  is a moving testament to the power of art that recounts the efforts of an underground community that used music to bring attention—and ultimately U2—to the crisis in Sarajevo. And the second season of Behind the Music  delves into the lives of musicians with new episodes about Bell Biv DeVoe, Trace Adkins and Wolfgang Van Halen and remastered episodes featuring 50 Cent, Ice-T and The Notorious B.I.G and more.

These latest additions only continue the crescendo of music–focused content across our library. Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain become country music’s power couple, Tammy Wynette and George Jones, in the Emmy-nominated SHOWTIME mini series, George & Tammy.* Milli Vanilli, Nothing Compares* , and June  offer in-depth looks at some of music’s biggest names while Thriller 40  and Hitsville  document some of the sounds, albums and movements that revolutionized music history.

And because we know seeing music live is an experience in itself, we provide fans a chance to skip the ticket line and watch streams of concert specials featuring Billy Joel, Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Jojo Siwa and more.

PLANET PARAMOUNT

Mother Nature’s biggest stages have found their home at Paramount+. In honor of Earth Day, we announced a new partnership with the National Park Foundation as its first-ever official streaming partner.

Paramount+ will provide funding to support the foundation’s mission to protect and preserve more than 420 of America’s national parks and motivate people everywhere to connect and fall in love with their beauty, history and culture through unprecedented virtual access. Since Earth Week, we have been taking audiences inside Yosemite, Death Valley, and a number of national parks through live streams, and more virtual visits can be found in our Earthly Adventures collection .

 

DID YOU KNOW?

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Paramount+ is celebrating and lifting up the community’s creators and talent with a refresh of the Watch Us Rise  collection. Launching May 1, it features hit series such as Halo  and Yellowjackets*  to fan favorites including Ghosts  and NCIS: Hawai’i  to movies like Oscar nominee Past Lives* , Oscar winner Everything Everywhere All At Once*  and Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning .

On May 17, 14 of the most talented queens in Drag Race HERstory are returning to the Werk Room for the ninth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars . There is more at stake this season as each queen is competing not only for a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame, but also representing a charitable organization that will receive a major donation if they win. The full cast was ru-vealed yesterday  and fans are already speculating about which diva will climb to the top.

To make finding content subscribers will love even easier, Paramount+ recently introduced Top 10 Carousels  that will enhance discovery and engagement of top-performing shows and movies on the service. We also rolled out a new, improved Kids Hub  to help parents and kids connect with and enjoy more of our content together. The update includes a dynamic homepage of content carousels, eye-catching previews and curated collections to explore.

 

STREAMING SOON

Throughout May, a number of CBS series and seasons will be coming to a close. Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik make a poignant return as “Sheldon” and “Amy” for the series finale of Young Sheldon while Bob and Abishola reflect on how far they’ve come over the last six years. From NCIS to SURVIVOR to the new top series, Tracker and Elsbeth, the finales will be packed with memorable, can’t-miss moments.
