Paramount Plus Unveils Star Studded February Lineup

Paramount+ subscribers are in for a treat this February, as the streaming platform rolls out one of its most robust lineups yet. From live award shows and high-profile movie debuts to fresh seasons of beloved series and a packed sports calendar, the month is shaping up to be a showcase of the service’s growing ambitions—and its determination to keep viewers glued to their screens.

Perhaps the most headline-grabbing event is the live broadcast of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, which aired on February 1, 2026, straight from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. According to IGN, Trevor Noah returned for his sixth and final stint as host, steering a night that saw performances by new artist nominees like Addison Rae, Alex Warren, Olivia Dean, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, The Mariás, SOMBR, and the hip-hop duo Clipse with Pharrell Williams. The ceremony also introduced two new Grammy categories—Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover—reflecting the evolving landscape of the music industry. Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, and Bad Bunny led the nominations with nine, seven, and six nods, respectively, and the event was available live for Paramount+ Premium subscribers, with on-demand access the following day.

But music wasn’t the only thing on the menu. The Christoph Waltz-led action-comedy Old Guy made its streaming debut on February 1, 2026, offering subscribers a fresh take on the aging-hitman genre. Waltz stars as Danny Dolinkski, a veteran contract killer reluctantly partnered with a Gen Z prodigy (played by Cooper Hoffman). The pair must navigate betrayal and generational clashes, ultimately teaming up against their double-crossing bosses. As noted by Decider, Old Guy is just one of many films added to the platform this month, with a slate that also includes classics like The Godfather trilogy, Bridget Jones's Diary, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and family favorites such as Rugrats Go Wild.

Scripted series fans have plenty to celebrate as well. The British Paramount+ Original Series Can You Keep a Secret? made its U.S. debut on February 12, 2026. The show, starring BAFTA-nominee Dawn French, follows the comedic chaos that ensues when a grandmother fakes her husband’s death for insurance money, only for the supposed corpse to be discovered hiding in the attic. The six-episode series promises a blend of humor and family intrigue, making it a binge-worthy option for viewers seeking something lighthearted yet clever.

True-crime aficionados weren’t left out either. Wild Boys: Strangers in Town premiered on February 18, 2026, chronicling the mysterious arrival of two half-starved brothers in a Canadian town—a story that previously captivated podcast listeners. As reported by TVLine, the docuseries explores the town’s initial generosity and the shocking revelations that follow, probing the limits of credibility and community trust.

Comedy and drama intersect in the return of the Showtime Original Series Dreaming Whilst Black, which launched its second season on February 20, 2026. The show follows Kwabena, an aspiring filmmaker navigating the pitfalls of the entertainment industry while grappling with racism and the pressures of his first big-budget directing job. The new season, as described by The Verge, continues to offer sharp, insightful commentary on ambition, integrity, and Black British life, blending humor with authentic storytelling.

Crime drama fans saw the premiere of CIA on February 23, 2026. The CBS series, also available on Paramount+, stars Tom Ellis as a fast-talking, unconventional officer paired with a by-the-book FBI agent (Nick Gehlfuss). The duo must bridge their differences to tackle threats against the United States, in a procedural format reminiscent of its parent show, FBI. This new addition, highlighted by TV Guide, adds another layer to the platform’s expanding crime drama portfolio.

Meanwhile, reality TV juggernaut Survivor returned for its landmark 50th season at the end of February. According to IGN, this milestone season amps up the stakes by placing key decisions in the hands of fans, promising a fresh twist on the long-running competition. Ongoing favorites like School Spirits and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy continued dropping new episodes, ensuring there’s always something new to watch.

Sports enthusiasts, particularly UFC fans, had plenty to cheer about too. Paramount+ is now the new home for live UFC events, including Fight Night bouts scheduled throughout February: Bautista vs. Oliveira on February 7, Strickland vs. Hernandez on February 21, and Moreno vs. Almabayev on February 28. As reported by IGN, the platform also boasts a deep catalog of classic UFC fights, with more reality competition content like The Ultimate Fighter and Dana White’s Contender Series slated for later in the year.

Of course, all this content comes at a price. Paramount+ is available in two tiers: Essential at $8.99 per month and Premium at $13.99 per month (or $139.99 per year for Premium). The Premium plan removes ads, offers live CBS access, and supports 4K UHD streaming on select titles. Unlike in years past, there’s currently no free trial directly from Paramount+, though Walmart+ members can access a free trial of Paramount+ Essentials as part of their subscription. IGN notes that opting for the annual plan can save subscribers a bit—bringing the monthly average down to just under $12 for Premium.

For those hoping for the return of Taylor Sheridan’s acclaimed action drama Landman, there’s good news and a little uncertainty. As Decider reports, Paramount+ renewed Landman for a third season in December 2025, following the ten-episode second season that wrapped with the finale "Tragedy and Flies" on January 19, 2026. Filming for Season 3 is rumored to begin in April or May 2026, with a possible release in November or December—though delays are possible given Sheridan’s packed schedule, which includes new series like The Madison and Marshalls, as well as upcoming seasons of Lioness, Tulsa King, and Mayor of Kingstown. For now, fans can catch up on the first two seasons, streaming exclusively on Paramount+.

Looking at the big picture, February 2026 has proven to be a defining month for Paramount+, showcasing its evolution from a niche streamer to a full-fledged entertainment powerhouse. With a blend of must-see live events, fresh originals, blockbuster movies, and exclusive sports, the platform is making a strong case for its place in the crowded streaming landscape.
