Best New Titles on Paramount+ May 2025:
Paramount+ is the ideal platform to stream some of your favorite live and pre-taped movies and shows from BCS, BET, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon, in addition to sports, news, and Paramount original content. Here are the two best new titles hitting the platform this May:
Criminal Minds: Evolution: Season 18 Premiere (Released May 8) *Paramount+ Original
The Criminal Minds revival returns with a new season of top-notch police procedural entertainment and drama as it picks up six months after “Sicarius Killer” Elias Volt (Zach Gilford) was attacked by prisoners. Since that act of violence, Volt’s disciples on the dark web take it upon themselves to channel their restlessness into wreaking chaos and destruction across America. As a result, the Behavioral Analysis Unit must work with an increasingly volatile Volt to stop his followers from taking innocent lives, all while the notorious criminal operates under his own agenda. Get in on all the action by catching each episode of Criminal Minds: Evolution: Season 18 as soon as they drop this month, only on Paramount+.
The Chi: Season 7 Premiere (Released May 16) *Paramount+ Exclusive
Lena Waithe’s drama series The Chi returns mid-May with a brand new season exclusively premiering on Paramount+. The Chi: Season 7 centers on the series’ leading ladies who become true movers and shakers in the wake of gang leader Otis “Douda” Perry’s (Curtiss Cook) death as they look to fill the newfound power vacuum. But with loyalties and trust tested, plus the rise of fresh rivalries, they prepare to do whatever it takes to be the one wearing the crown, even if it comes with great loss and sacrifice.
