Paramount+ is the place to be for streamers who want constant updates. From adding a new hit film to its catalog to announcing the release dates of two highly anticipated documentaries, the platform has been continually making itself more and more attractive to new and existing users.
Recent Tom Cruise Joins Paramount+
On January 25, Paramount+ added the 2023 hit Tom Cruise film Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Dead Reckoning is already trending on the platform, and it joins the rest of the Mission Impossible series at its new streaming home.
Dead Reckoning was released in the summer of 2023, and as of this writing, it’s grossed nearly $600 million worldwide. The hit film, the seventh in the franchise, was nominated for two Oscars – Best Sound and Best Visual Effects – at the upcoming 96th Academy Awards. A sequel to this installment is slated to be released on May 23, 2025, and it will serve as the eighth film in the series that began with Mission: Impossible in 1996.
New Documentaries to Hit the Platform Soon
In addition to the popular Cruise addition, Paramount+ has new documentaries forthcoming. First, on February 6, #CyberSleuths: The Idaho Murders will drop. This three-part docuseries will cover details of the horrific murders of college students that took place in Idaho in November of 2022 through the lens of amateur online investigators who have been obsessed with the crime since it happened.
The series was directed by Lucie Jourdan who also directed Our Father and was produced by Bungalow Media + Entertainment, the same group that brought to life the documentary Little Richard: I Am Everything.
On February 25, As We Speak: Rap Music On Trial will come to Paramount+. This feature-length documentary tells the story of Kemba, a Bronx-based rapper who seeks to understand the effect that rap lyrics have had on the criminal justice system in the United States in recent years.
“It’s not every day a director gets to meet a once-in-a-generation rap artist like Kemba and then has the opportunity to spotlight him in a film like As We Speak: Rap On Trial. The history of black lyrics on trial predates hip-hop by hundreds of years, and thanks to the crew at District 33, Park Pictures and Strike Anywhere, we found a way to bring the story of the music to life,” director J.M. Harper said of the documentary, which debuted just days ago at the Sundance Film Festival.
