Paramount+ has released its August lineup, and while it features a massive lineup of live sports, there is also a stacked lineup of TV and movies hitting the service. In addition to the new docuseries Special Ops: True, which features real tales of hunting Bin Laden and surviving downed Black Hawks, viewers are also in for new seasons of Average Joe and of the thrilling Taylor Sheridan series Lioness. Season 2 of Average Joe premieres August 19 and season 3 of Lioness premieres August 2. You can also catch new episodes of Diarra From Detroit season 2 every Wednesday and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 every Thursday. Now, let’s talk sports. UFC fans have plenty to be excited about. Several Fight Nights are in store throughout the month, as well as season 10 of Dana White’s Contender Series on August 11. Sports fans will also find plenty of basketball, boxing, golf, soccer, and—wait for it—bull riding. Cinephiles are in store for classic additions, such as The Sandlot, You’ve Got Mail, the Tom Cruise hit Risky Business, and the early Matt Damon movie School Ties; creature features, such as Crawl and Cloverfield; and must-see productions, such as Best in Show, Equilibrium, Disturbia, and Million Dollar Baby.
