These are the 3 best new Paramount+ series to binge this weekend, October 16–18, 2026, including Taylor Sheridan & Sylvester Stallone's crime drama. Some of the top streaming picks on Paramount+ earlier this week included the spy action thriller Lioness, which recently wrapped up its third season, and the masterful serial killer crime drama Dexter: Resurrection, which returns with its second season on Friday, October 30, just in time for Halloween. Now, we've rounded up the best new Paramount+ shows with brand new episodes dropping this weekend. ScreenRant's first selection for what to watch on Paramount+ this weekend marks the exciting continuation of a beloved animated franchise and its first canon sequel series in roughly 12 years. Our second top pick on Paramount+ this weekend is a Guy Ritchie and Tom Hardy collaboration that's just hit the midpoint of its critically acclaimed second season. Lastly, our #1 series to watch on Paramount+ this weekend is a celebrated Sylvester Stallone-led crime drama created by Taylor Sheridan, which finally returns with its season 4 premiere. Avatar: Seven Havens Avatar: Seven Havens is a fantastic binge-watching choice this weekend on Paramount+, especially if you missed the 3-part series premiere last weekend. The series is a sequel to the original Avatar: The Last Airbender on Nickelodeon as well as The Legend of Korra, both of which are also available to binge on Paramount+. Avatar: Seven Havens was created by the original minds behind the cherished original series, which is still considered one of the greatest animated series of the 21st century. Following its 3-part premiere last Friday, Avatar: Seven Havens returns this week with three new episodes worth checking out on Friday, October 16. New episodes will be released every Friday on Paramount+ until the 4-part finale drop on October 30. Avatar: Seven Havens has already been renewed for three additional seasons, earned a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, and ranks #9 on Paramount+'s worldwide viewership chart at the time of writing. Its genre-blending adventurous tale is truly one of a kind. MobLand MobLand is once again one of our top choices to stream on Paramount+ this week as things begin to really heat up for Tom Hardy's fixer protagonist, Harry Da Souza. MobLand season 2 premiered back on September 18 and has been a certified massive streaming hit ever since, enhanced by its impressive 90% Rotten Tomatoes score and its consistent #1 worldwide viewership status on the platform. Hardy delivers one of his career best performances as his character tries to protect a dangerous crime family from imploding. MobLand enjoys one of the most stacked ensemble casts on streaming these days, with Hardy being joined by Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Paddy Considine, Janet McTeer, Toby Jones, and season 2 newcomer Johnny Flynn, who has taken over the series as the formidable villain Frankie Cooper. MobLand also has some of the best crime thriller minds in modern streaming behind it, as it was created by Guy Ritchie (The Gentlemen) and Ronan Bennett (Top Boy), with co-writer Jez Butterworth (The Agency). There are few, if any, better crime dramas on streaming right now than MobLand. Tulsa King Tulsa King is the perfect new Paramount+ series to watch this weekend, with its season 4 premiere arriving on Friday, October 16. Tulsa King was released back in 2022 and was originally created by Taylor Sheridan, with Terence Winter (The Sopranos) serving as showrunner. Winter has resumed his role as the head writer and executive producer of Tulsa King season 4 after Dave Erickson (Mayor of Kingstown) took the reins on season 3. Tulsa King season 5 has already been confirmed ahead of Tulsa King season 4's debut this week. Tulsa King has remained one of Sheridan's most consistently acclaimed series since its inception, earning an 87% Rotten Tomatoes score for its first three seasons. With Winter's return, Tulsa King season 4 is expected to be another home run, thanks in part to Stallone's iconic performance as Dwight Manfredi, a former New York mafia capo who digs his heels into Tulsa, Oklahoma, becoming a prominent and revered businessman. Poised to be an instant streaming hit this weekend, there's no better show to watch on Paramount+ than Tulsa King right now.
