Paramount+ Just Added 72 New Movies and Shows — Here Are the 3 I'm Streaming First

Paramount+ is kicking off October 2026 strong by adding 72 new movies and shows to its platform. As is custom, the streaming service adds the bulk of its buzzy new titles on the first of every month, providing a laundry list of worthy series and films to pad out your upcoming binge-watching schedule.

However, with so many choices available, narrowing down what to watch can quickly become overwhelming. Fortunately, Tom's Guide has done the heavy lifting, sifting through the massive drop to highlight a manageable trio of top-tier titles you should check out right now.

1. 'When Harry Met Sally...' (1989)

• Genre: Romantic Comedy
• What's it about: Billy Crystal stars as Harry Burns and Meg Ryan as Sally Albright, two cynical acquaintances holding vastly different views on whether men and women can remain strictly platonic friends without romance getting in the way. Over twelve years of casual encounters, relationship updates, and late-night calls, their dynamic shifts when genuine feelings develop.
• Why you should watch it: Widely regarded as the greatest romantic comedy of all time, it boasts incredible chemistry between its leads, an unforgettable script by Nora Ephron, and warm direction by Rob Reiner. Plus, it serves as the ultimate fall comfort watch.

2. 'Parasite' (2019)

• Genre: Thriller / Comedy
• What's it about: Bong Joon Ho's modern-day masterpiece explores the stark class divide between the Kims—a struggling, unemployed family living in a cramped Seoul basement—and the wealthy Parks. When the Kims slowly infiltrate the Parks' luxurious household by posing as unrelated professionals, they uncover startling secrets.
• Why you should watch it: As the first foreign-language film to capture the Oscar for Best Picture, 'Parasite' brilliantly blends black comedy, social satire, crime caper elements, and genuine suspense into a singular cinematic experience.

3. 'Drag Me to Hell' (2009)

• Genre: Horror / Mystery
• What's it about: Directed by horror master Sam Raimi, the film follows Christine Brown (Alison Lohman), a bank loan officer who denies an elderly woman's mortgage extension, only to find herself cursed and facing a terrifying descent into the underworld.
• Why you should watch it: Featuring a stellar 92% Rotten Tomatoes score, this cult classic expertly merges gross-out body horror, campy slapstick comedy, and high-stakes supernatural thrills.
