They also include the latest season of a historic reality competition show, a new episode of a provocative comedy series, the season 2 premiere of a Yellowstone spinoff, and a new episode drop of the streamer's #1 show worldwide. Some of the greatest new shows on Paramount+ also include the gripping spy thriller The Agency season 2 and Dutton Ranch, another popular Yellowstone sequel series. Additionally, the upcoming season 2 return of Dexter: Resurrection makes October the perfect month to binge or rewatch all 10 episodes of the first season that earned a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score. However, if you're looking for the latest and greatest series on Paramount+ this week, these five shows handpicked by ScreenRant's TV experts are sure to do the trick. Survivor Following the two-hour premiere episode of Survivor season 51 last week, a brand new episode will air on CBS this Wednesday, September 30, and will be available to stream on Paramount+ on Thursday, October 1. Host Jeff Probst returns for the start of the Open Era of Survivor, in which any idol, challenge, or advantage from previous seasons is eligible to return. The series, which has been running since the year 2000, is approaching a remarkable 750 episodes and will release new season 51 episodes every Wednesday throughout Fall 2026. South Park South Park is also set to drop the second episode of its latest season this week on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, with next-day streaming available on Paramount+ on Thursday, October 1. After indefinitely changing its series title to South America, the celebrated animated series should continue to poke fun at the general theme following last week's season 29 premiere. New episodes of South Park will release every two weeks on Paramount+ until the season finale on November 25. MobLand MobLand is officially the #1 most-watched show on Paramount+ worldwide after dethroning Taylor Sheridan's Lioness following its season 3 finale. New season 2 episodes of the gritty gangster series starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, and more land every Friday on Paramount+ through November 20. MobLand season 2 follows Hardy's protagonist, Harry Da Souza, as he is the top enforcer for the London-based Harrigan crime family. Series newcomer Johnny Flynn has already proven to be a fierce new foe to both Harry and the Harrigans, setting up an epic showdown. Marshals The season 2 premiere of Marshals is officially set for Sunday, October 4, on CBS, with next-day streaming on Paramount+ on Monday, October 5. Those with a Paramount+ Premium subscription will be able to stream it live on Paramount+ at 8:30 PM EST. Following a divisive first season, the Yellowstone sequel series is determined to avoid a sophomore slump and improve on its alarming 28% Rotten Tomatoes audience score. That said, Marshals was an undeniable hit during its season 1 run in Spring 2026, earning more viewership than other popular broadcast shows like Tracker and Matlock. Given this, Marshals should once again be a worldwide streaming phenomenon later this week. Tracker Tracker season 4 is also set to premiere on Sunday, October 4, on CBS and Paramount+, right after the Marshals season 2 premiere wraps up at 9:30 PM EST. Another massive network streaming hit, Tracker is based on a celebrated book series and follows protagonist Colter Shaw, played by Justin Hartley, who travels the United States helping communities solve crimes. Similar to Prime Video's hit show Reacher, Tracker features a charismatic lead with an expert skill set that ultimately serves justice. With new seasons of both Marshals and Tracker set to premiere soon, it's bound to be one of the biggest streaming events of the year on Paramount+.
