Let’s be real—2025 was a whole vibe for Paramount+ with Showtime. While some streamers were busy throwing spaghetti at the wall, this one quietly dropped gem after gem.

The fam at Screen Rant curated the ultimate ranking, and we’re here to spill the tea on the ten that hit different. Grab your snacks, ‘cause we’re diving in—spoiler-free, we promise. 😘

10. Tulsa King Season 3 – Stallone Still Got That Dawg in Him 🐕

Taylor Sheridan does it again, but honestly? Season 3 was a mixed bag of fire and filler. Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester freaking Stallone) went head-to-head with a new mob boss in a ganster war over a distillery, and the man brought his A-game. The action scenes were chef’s kiss, and Sly served some of his best acting in years, no cap. Yet the plot felt a lil’ bloated—too many side quests, not enough payoff. That said, it’s still a must-watch for the Tulsa King stans. The vibe is unapologetically extra, and Samuel L. Jackson’s cameo? Iconic. 💥

9. Yellowjackets Season 3 – Chaos Gremlins in the Woods 🌲🔪

Okay, babes—this one hurt a little. Season 3 wasn’t the peak it used to be; the mystery is starting to fray at the edges, and the narrative focus felt a tiny bit lost. BUUT, the cast ate. The teen timeline brought more deliciously dark ritual vibes, and the present-day crew delivered peak black comedy. It’s like watching your fave chaotic bestie make questionable choices—you still can’t look away. If you’re into survival horror laced with camp, this is still a slay. 🍄

8. NCIS: Tony & Ziva – The Slow-Burn Ship We Deserved 🛳️

New show alert! Well, new-ish—it’s the spinoff we’ve been manifesting since forever. Tony and Ziva reunite and go on the run across Europe with their daughter, chasing conspiracies like the power couple they are. The chemistry is still chef’s kiss. It’s part conspiracy thriller, part family drama, and entirely bingeable. Old-school NCIS fans will be doing the happy squeal, while newbies get a fresh, stylish entry point. Cote and Michael really said, “We understood the assignment.” 💣

7. 1923 Season 2 – Western Epic With Feels 🏜️

Another Sheridan universe entry, and it came to wrap the Dutton saga with grand emotional stakes. Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren are literal legends, and the Montana scenery? A whole mood. The gunfights were electrifying, and Timothy Dalton’s villain was mwah. But the pacing dragged a smidge, and some character choices left us scratching our heads. Still, as a sendoff to the prequel, it was a beautiful, tragic bang. If you’re a Yellowstone stan, you need this on your list like yesterday. 🤠

6. Dexter: Original Sin – Baby Serial Killer, Big Drama 🔪

Prequel done RIGHT, fam. Original Sin took us back to Dex’s early killing years, and it fully understood the assignment after those divisive finales. The new cast is stacked, the murder mystery per episode is captivating, and the father-son dynamic with Harry is intriguingly toxic. It’s dark, it’s smart, and it rekindles that OG Dexter spark without feeling like a cash grab. We ate this up, and you will too. 🩸

5. School Spirits Season 2 – Ghostly Gossip Goals 👻

Don’t sleep on this one just because it’s YA! School Spirits season 2 slayed the mystery game with more twists than a pretzel factory. Peyton List’s ghostly detective work is so fun, and the high school purgatory concept is \uf8fffresh. The writing is tighter than a TikTok dance, and every answer just leads to spicier questions. It’s perfect for a cozy, spooky binge—and season 3 is on the way, so get in now, bestie. 🎒✨

4. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 – To Boldly Slay 🚀

This show is the gift that keeps on giving. Captain Pike and the Enterprise crew harness that classic Trek adventurous spirit, but with all the visual glow-up modern fans crave. Season 3 leaned into franchise lore in the most delightful way, making it a treat for Trekkies and a perfect starting point for newbies. Anson Mount’s hair deserves its own Emmy, tbh. It’s brainy, bold, and genuinely fun—no wonder many call it the best Trek in years. 🖖

3. MobLand – The Original Gangster Slice of Fun 💼💰

Finally, an original IP that hits like a freight train! MobLand gathers the stuff of legends: Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan chewing scenery as a chaotic crime family. The plot is twisty, the dialogue is sharp as a tack, and the humor lands every. single. time. It’s not trying to be deep; it’s just a damn good time. Paramount+ proved they can build new worlds, not just revive old ones, and we are here for it. 🕶️🍸

2. Landman Season 2 – Oil, Trauma, and Billy Bob Brilliance 🛢️

Season 1 was promising, but season 2? FIRE. Taylor Sheridan’s oil-country drama dug deeper into family trauma and the cutthroat business of black gold. Billy Bob Thornton is a force, and they finally gave Demi Moore and Andy Garcia the screen time they deserve. The storytelling is tighter, the stakes are higher, and Sam Elliott’s gravitas adds another layer of wow. It’s a masterclass in character-driven drama with that classic Sheridan grit. We stan a glow-up. 🌵

1. Dexter: Resurrection – The King Is Back, Baby 👑🩸

And the crown goes to… the show that literally resurrected the magic. Dexter: Resurrection didn’t just fix the missteps of New Blood; it soared. Michael C. Hall slipped back into his iconic role like no time passed, and the father-son dynamic with Harrison finally felt whole. The New York setting brought fresh energy, and the ensemble of serial-killer foes was chef’s kiss. Every emotional beat landed, every twist felt earned, and the finale left us screaming. It’s easily Paramount+’s 2025 MVP, and honestly? It might be the best season since the original. If you watch one show from that year, make it this one. No debate, just facts. 🔥

So there you have it, besties—the 2025 Paramount+ lineup was stacked. Whether you’re into mob sagas, supernatural spice, or dark antiheroes, there’s a cozy spot on your watchlist waiting. We’re already deep into 2026 now, but these shows still hit like a double-shot of espresso. Grab the remote and start bingeing; you can thank us later. 😘
