Everything Coming to Paramount+ in January
We’re counting down to 2025, and our top resolution for the new year is to bring you even more of the world’s best collection of shows, films and live events to stream. The new year brings new adventures on Paramount+ including the premiere of the action-packed original movie Star Trek: Section 31 starring Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh; Henry Danger: The Movie based on the hit Nickelodeon live-action series; and CBS winter premieres, including new medical mystery drama Watson starring Morris Chestnut and the game show Hollywood Squares starring Drew Barrymore as the “center square” and host Nate Burleson. Football fans can also catch all the action on the field with the NFL ON CBS’ coverage of the NFL Playoffs including Super Wild Card and AFC Divisional Round matchups, and the 2025 AFC Championship Game set for January 26.
For a closer look at all the entertainment coming to Paramount+ in January, check out the latest edition of View From the Peak.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Get ready for another epic adventure to join the expansive Star Trek collection available on Paramount+. The all-new original movie Star Trek: Section 31 kicks up the galactic action to a whole new level. Michelle Yeoh reprises her fan-favorite role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou – a character she played in the hit series Star Trek: Discovery – who joins a secret division of Starfleet. Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past. Ahead of the premiere, we chatted with the film’s director Olatunde Osunsanmi to hear more about what audiences can expect when this awesome group of misfits, led by Georgiou (Yeoh), face a threat unlike anything Starfleet has ever seen.
- With Star Trek: Section 31 being the first movie in the expanded universe made for streaming on Paramount+, what can fans expect in terms of the stakes of this group’s mission?
We tried to come out and go big. Big stakes emotionally, big stakes for the characters in our story. In comparison to many other series that have come in this era (because we all love to compare!), the stakes are as profound as any that we’ve seen, but with a particular character driven twist that I hope will surprise and delight people who watch the movie.
- In the film, Michelle Yeoh’s character (Emperor Philippa Georgiou) must confront the sins of her past in order to accomplish their mission. What can you share about her journey in this film and reuniting with Michelle to bring this fun, complex character back?
Part of what makes this movie so unique is that it is tied inextricably to Georgiou. She’s got a fantastic backstory, which is epic in its breadth. It spans time and space in ways that most characters don’t have the opportunity to explore – like Christmas morning presents for our audience. Having the opportunity to work with Michelle again has been pure, unmitigated joy. However amazing you think it might be to work with her, multiply it by ten, and you will then understand the feeling!
- What are you most excited for audiences to see in this new film (without giving any spoilers)?
I’m excited for viewers to experience a hard-hitting, action-packed and emotional journey through a part of the Star Trek Universe that hasn’t been explored before. It’s a new flavor of ice cream, another color of the rainbow that is a fresh fit in this universe. And that crucially, requires no prior knowledge of Star Trek to get into it. You can hop right in, understand everything that’s going on, and go for the ride.
Experience all the action when Star Trek: Section 31 lands exclusively on Paramount+ January 24.
HIGH SCORE
Gear up football fans! In January, the high-stakes battle to win-or-go-home begins with the NFL ON CBS’ coverage of the NFL Playoffs. This upcoming postseason, the NFL ON CBS features Super Wild Card and AFC Divisional Round matchups, and concludes with the 2025 AFC Championship Game set for Sunday, January 26. NFL ON CBS’ coverage of the NFL Playoff games airs live on your local CBS station, and streams live on Paramount+.
And the action won’t end there. The UEFA Champions League concludes the inaugural edition of the new League Phase with Matchday 7 on January 21-22 and the decisive Matchday 8 on January 29. All 36 clubs play on Matchday 8, with 18 matches kicking off simultaneously at 3:00 PM ET, on Paramount+ to see who advances to the Play-Off Round.
