What’s new on Paramount+ in April 2025

By
Ralph Fiennes in The Return.
Bleecker Street

Christopher Nolan may be making The Odyssey through the rest of this year, but Paramount+ features a different take on the classic tale in April 2025. The Return, an epic film that had a very limited theatrical release last year, adapts the final chapter in The Odyssey, with Ralph Fiennes as an older Odysseus. The warrior king has become a broken man after two decades away, but he’ll have to fight to reclaim his kingdom and his wife, Penelope (Juliette Binoche).

Another little-seen gem, The Last Stop in Yuma County, is joining Paramount+’s movie library this month. This film is a neo-Western set in the ’70s, and it may be cult classic material. Some of the other highlights this month include An Evening with Elton John and Brandi Carlile, and new episodes of MobLand, which will run throughout the month.

Some of the most enticing additions to this month’s movie library are exclusive to Paramount+ with Showtime. Paramount+’s lower tiers get everything else. Keep that in mind when looking over our roundup of everything new on Paramount+ in April 2025. The shows and movies below marked with an asterisk (*) are only available on Paramount+ with Showtime. Titles marked with a double asterisk (**) can be live-streamed from CBS by Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers. Our picks for the month are in bold.

March Madness 2025: How to watch the First Four, matchups, times, live stream
Logo for the NCAA First Four.

It's time to play some hoops. After Selection Sunday, the 2025 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament is set to begin. 68 teams will have a chance to win the championships. Auburn is the tournament's No. 1 seed, followed by Duke, Houston, and Florida. Before the First Round tips on Thursday, eight teams must head to Dayton for the First Four.
The First Four features four games — two on Tuesday and two on Wednesday. Two of these games will feature No. 16 seeds. The other two games will determine the No. 11 seeds in two regions. It's win or go home for the teams in the First Four. Win and advance to the First Round. Lose and your season is over. Think of the First Four as a March Madness appetizer to the main course that begins later this week.
Find out how to watch the First Four below.

three pbs shows you should watch in march 2025 call the midwife season 14 tv hero 2

PBS may not be able to boast a lineup of original shows like Netflix and the other streamers, but it's been America's gateway for British dramas for decades. Granted, some of these shows will show up on the streamers as well. The key difference is that PBS won't charge you to watch them, and you can even stream them online if you don't want to support your local station.

This month's picks include two returning British dramas, one of which had almost a full decade between seasons. Our other pick is a returning murder mystery show from Sweden, which proves just how universally popular that genre has turned out to be.

Netflix has some potential hits on tap this month. The streamer is letting John Mulaney host a late-night show, Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney. The comedian had a successful tryout last year with John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA. Super producer Shonda Rhimes is back with her latest show, The Residence, a whodunit set in the White House. When Rhimes puts a show on Netflix, it becomes a hit, i.e., Bridgerton.
March's new shows will be all over the most popular list. Below are three underrated shows to stream in March. Our picks include a prison thriller, a teen sitcom, and a sports drama.
We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
Prison Break (2005-2017)
Prison Break - Season 1 Trailer
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to guess the plot of a show named Prison Break. There's an escape attempt from jail, but the details before and after the break make this crime drama extremely entertaining. After being wrongfully accused of murder, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is sent to Death Row. Lincoln's brother, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), devises a plan to save his brother.
Michael's plan does not involve the legal system. Michael commits a crime and gets incarcerated at the same prison as Lincoln. With the two brothers under the same roof, they plan their escape. The more the brothers explore the case, the more they learn about the conspiracy to frame Lincoln. With a Prison Break reboot set in the same universe in development, there's no better time to start a rewatch than now.
Watch Prison Break on Netflix.
Ballers (2015-2019)
Ballers: Season 1 | Mid-Season Official Extended Trailer | HBO

Once "Kane is in the building" from Lil Wayne's Right Above It hit your ears, it was time for Ballers, a sports drama that ran for five seasons on HBO. Dwayne Johnson stars as Spencer Strasmore, a former NFL player forced into an early retirement due to an injury. Needing a second act, Spencer begins working as a financial manager for current NFL players.
