Paramount+ is set to launch several new series and movies in January 2026, highlighted by the premiere of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The streaming service will also host live awards coverage and sports events, alongside a finale for Landman season 2. Subscribers can expect a mix of original content and classic films starting the new year.
Paramount+ has announced its content slate for January 2026, kicking off with a robust selection of movies available from January 1. Highlights include classics like 10 Cloverfield Lane, 50 First Dates, and Baby Driver, as well as recent titles such as The Martian and Spider-Man: Homecoming. This extensive library caters to diverse tastes, from thrillers to comedies.
The month features notable series premieres. On January 9, the thriller Coldwater, starring Andrew Lincoln, makes its debut. Glen Powell's action film The Running Man (2025) arrives for streaming on January 13. The biggest draw is Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, the sixth new Trek series in nine years, with a two-episode premiere on January 15. This follows the pattern of frequent expansions in the franchise on the platform.
Sports and awards programming add to the appeal. CBS, via Paramount+, broadcasts an NFL doubleheader on January 4 and AFC playoff games, culminating in the AFC Championship on January 25. Live coverage includes the Golden Globes red carpet on January 11 and the ceremony itself. Looking ahead, a Grammy Awards special airs on January 30, with the full event on February 1.
Other releases include the season 2 finale of Landman on January 18, a three-episode drop for School Spirits season 3 on January 28, and various unscripted shows like Harlan Coben's Final Twist on January 7. Family-friendly options such as Peppa Pig season 10 arrive on January 14, and SpongeBob SquarePants season 15 on January 21.
This lineup positions Paramount+ as a key destination for entertainment in the early new year, blending sci-fi, drama, and live events.
