Club Benefits
Paramount+ has tons of new shows for your weekend binge-watch. The streaming service constantly adds new episodes of hit shows and even entire seasons to binge. In fact, it just added 82 new movies and shows on May 1. These aren't all new original shows, either; the streamer also adds new shows from Paramount's networks, like CBS, as well as coproductions with international studios.
This weekend, I've got three shows worth watching in one sitting. First, there's "Battlestar Galactica"; specifically, the 2003 miniseries and the four-season reboot that began in 2004. This sci-fi show has a devoted fan base, and you can binge it in its entirety now. Then there's "Marshals," a new spin-off sequel to "Yellowstone," which has its first season finale coming this weekend. If that's not enough Sheridanverse for you, there's also "Dutton Ranch." This is another spin-off/sequel hybrid series, and it just dropped its third episode, giving you a few hours to binge this weekend.
So, here are the three new to Paramount+ shows you need to binge-watch this weekend. If you need more recommendations, check out everything coming to Paramount+ in May 2026 for more options.
Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022 and watches dozens of shows each year so you don't need to watch any bad ones. He's already watched over 20 seasons of TV this year, and thankfully, it's mostly been good.
'Battlestar Galactica' seasons 1-4
Genre: Science fiction series
What's it about? After a 40-year armistice in a war between the humans of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol and the robotic Cylons they once created, the latter launch a surprise attack intended to exterminate the human race. It largely works, causing the aged spaceship Battlestar Galactica to be called back into service under the command of William Adama (Edward James Olmos).
Why you should watch it: This sci-fi series is beloved, with an ardent fanbase, and Paramount+ just added all four seasons, plus the 2003 miniseries. If you're a sci-fi fan and haven't seen "Battlestar Galactica" before, now's the perfect time. Especially since it's also streaming for free on Pluto TV.

'Marshals'
Genre: Neo-Western drama series
What's it about? "Marshals" stars "Yellowstone" actor Luke Grimes. He's reprising his role as Kayce Dutton in this hybrid sequel/spin-off, which follows the former U.S. Navy SEAL and rancher as he joins a specialized group of U.S. Marshals tasked with protecting the Montana wilderness.
Why you should watch it: Taylor Sheridan is sitting out this new "Yellowstone" spin-off, but many familiar faces are returning. Gil Birmingham, Mo Brings Plenty and Brecken Merrill all reprise their roles as Thomas Rainwater, Mo and Tate Dutton. Plus, it's been renewed for season 2, so you know you're committing to a show that isn't going away.

'Dutton Ranch' season 1
Genre: Neo-Western drama series
What's it about? "Marshals" may be deep into its first season, but another "Yellowstone" spin-off is just starting. "Dutton Ranch" has Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly returning to the Sheridanverse as Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton, as they start over in Texas, away from the baggage of the original series and the specter of Kevin Costner.
Why you should watch it: Simply put, if you liked "Yellowstone," I'm pretty confident you'll like "Dutton Ranch." I'm not the biggest fan of Taylor Sheridan's TV shows (it's worth noting this show isn't written by Sheridan, but rather Chad Feehan), but even I was ready to hit play on the second episode as soon as the credits rolled on the first. In my "Dutton Ranch" review, I highlighted Ed Harris and Annette Bening as being big reasons I liked this show, and after you watch, you'll see why.
