Ready for a fresh slate of new shows and movies? The April showers are clearing away for May flowers and fresh content that's new on Paramount Plus.
First up is "The Comeback Trail," a darkly comedic story about a desperate film producer who schemes to "accidentally" kill his aging movie star in the middle of production to cash in on an insurance policy. He soon realizes, however, that he might be working on a legit masterpiece of a movie.
The middle of the month brings "Beckham & Friends Live," a special talk-centric sports event as the platform's UEFA Champions League coverage. Led by David Beckham with an all-star lineup, it should offer plenty of commentary and coverage starting with the semifinals.
Near the end of May, music lovers can also look forward to the "American Music Awards," hosted by Jennifer Lopez. Starting this year, the AMAs will move to Memorial Day weekend, with the ceremony paying tribute to U.S. troops and veterans and hosting a ton of performances while handing out awards.
Want more? Here’s everything new on Paramount Plus this month, starting with our top picks.
New on Paramount Plus in May 2025: Top picks
'The Comeback Trail'
This Robert De Niro-led comedy follows a desperate film producer named Max Barber who hatches a scheme to "accidentally" kill his aging movie star Duke Montana (Tommy Lee Jones) in the middle of a shoot, hoping to cash in on an insurance policy to pay off his debts.
But as filming progresses, he begins to realize that the movie they're making isn’t just another throwaway project; i's actually a genuine masterpiece in the making. Plans have to change, but Montana is keen on his own end-of-life plans, independent of anything Barber cooks up.
