MobLand (now streaming)
From executive producer Guy Ritchie, MobLand is a highly anticipated new global organized crime series. Conrad and Maeve Harrigan (Pierce Brosnan, and Academy Award® winner Helen Mirren, respectively) and the Stevensons are clashing London crime families engaged in a vicious battle that threatens to topple empires and obliterate lives. In the center of the fray is the studly and street-smart Harry Da Souza (Academy Award® nominee Tom Hardy), a fixer who knows too well where loyalties lie when opposing forces collide. As kingdom wars against kingdom, lines are crossed, and family is put before all else.
MobLand, which premiered March 30, exclusively on Paramount+, boasts a star-studded lineup. In addition to Brosnan, Mirren, and Hardy, the cast features Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan, and Emily Barber.

New movies on Paramount+ in April 2025
The Carters: Hurts to Love You (April 15)
Directed by Soleil Moon Frye, with accounts told by Angel Carter Conrad, this two-part documentary takes a deeply personal look at the soaring successes and heartbreaking mental health and addiction struggles of the Carters, a family thrust into the spotlight by the meteoric rise of two brothers’ musical careers: The Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter, and the late pop sensation Aaron Carter. The film features intimate conversations with Angel and Nick, the only surviving Carter siblings of the original five.
Through never-before-seen home videos, family photographs, audio recordings, private text messages, and stories of the Carter family’s most intimate moments, Angel pulls back the veil on her parents and siblings. One hears, for the first time, these individuals’ sadness, fears, and hopes. The film also features first-time conversations with family friends familiar with the spotlight, including Melissa Joan Hart and Scout Willis, as well as the Carters’ longtime manager, Lori Knight.
Both parts of the documentary will drop on Tuesday, April 15, exclusively on Paramount+.
The Children of October 7 (April 23)
The Children of October 7 is a documentary directed by Asaf Becker, and featuring Montana Tucker, an award-winning social-media activist, actress, singer, dancer, and philanthropist, as well as one of the the leading pro-Israel voices in the American entertainment industry. Following the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, Tucker dedicated herself to raising global awareness of the Israeli hostages in Gaza, gaining international recognition. A staggering fact about the attacks: Israeli children were among the most vulnerable victims impacted, with hundreds of children injured, and thousands displaced from their homes.
This documentary involves sensitive conversations between Tucker and children who share their experiences of trauma and survival as they continue to process the unthinkable – being held captive, witnessing the deaths of their parents, and enduring violent invasions of their homes. With Tucker’s support, the children present a poignant and heartfelt depiction of their terrifying experiences.
The Last Stop in Yuma County (April 1)
Directed by Francis Galluppi, this crime thriller is about a traveling salesman (Jim Cummings) who is stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop. He’s suddenly thrust into a hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers (Richard Brake and Nicolas Logan), men who have no qualms about using cruelty – not to mention cold, hard steel – to protect their bloodstained fortune.
Note: The Last Stop in Yuma County is available to stream on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan only.
Before Dawn (April 1)
After leaving his family’s sheep farm in the Australian outback, a young man (Levi Miller) joins his countrymen on the Western front of World War I in the hopes of helping expedite an end to the bloody conflict. The drama is directed by Jordon Prince-Wright, who wrote the movie with Jarrad Russell.
Note: Before Dawn is available to stream on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan only.
The Return (April 21)
After 20 years away, Odysseus (Ralph Fiennes), ruler of the land, washes up on the shores of Ithaca, unrecognizable. He has returned from the Trojan War, but much has changed in his kingdom. His wife, Penelope (Juliette Binoche), is a prisoner in her own home, hounded by power-hungry suitors. With men clamoring for his throne, and Odysseus no longer the fighter he once was, the former warrior-king must rediscover his strength in order to win back all that he has lost.
Note: The Return is available to stream on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan only.

Recently premiered on Paramount+
Happy Face (series premiere)
The Paramount+ original drama series Happy Face is inspired by the real-life tale of Melissa G. Moore, who at the age of 15 discovered her beloved father, Keith Jesperson, was the prolific serial killer known as the Happy Face Killer.
Jumping off from Moore’s true story – as well as the critically acclaimed Happy Face podcast from iHeartPodcasts and Moore, and the autobiography Shattered Silence, by Moore with M. Bridget Cook – Happy Face follows Melissa (Tony Award® winner and Emmy Award® nominee Annaleigh Ashford) and her incarcerated father, the Happy Face Killer himself (Emmy®- and Golden Globe® nominee Dennis Quaid). After decades of no contact, the imprisoned dad finds a way back into his now-grown daughter’s life. It’s a race against the clock as Melissa realizes that an innocent man may be put to death for a crime her father committed. Throughout the show, Melissa discovers the impact that her own flesh and blood has had on victims’ families, and must face a reckoning of her own identity.
In addition to Ashford and Quaid, Happy Face stars James Wolk, Tamera Tomakili, Khiyla Aynne, and Benjamin Mackey. The show premiered on March 20, exclusively on Paramount+. New episodes will drop on Thursdays through the season finale.
Binge-watch highlights on Paramount+ in April 2025
1923 (Season 2)
A Yellowstone origin story from Yellowstone co-creator and Academy Award® nominee Taylor Sheridan, 1923 follows Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren) and Jacob Dutton (Academy Award® nominee Harrison Ford) as they face drought, pandemic, and the looming Great Depression in the Prohibition-era Mountain West.
Season 2 finds a cruel winter bringing new challenges and unfinished business to Jacob and Cara at Dutton Ranch. Will their nephew, Spencer (Brandon Sklenar), successfully make an overseas journey back to Montana in time to save his kin and reunite with his lost love Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer)? Or will cruel weather conditions and adversaries forever change the Dutton legacy as we know it?
In addition to Ford, Mirren, Sklenar, and Schlaepfer, the new season stars Jerome Flynn, Darren Mann, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Michelle Randolph, Sebastian Roché, Timothy Dalton, and cast newcomer Jennifer Carpenter.
1923 Season 2 premiered on Feb. 23, exclusively on Paramount+. New episodes will drop weekly on Sundays through the season finale on Sunday, April 6. All episodes stream on Paramount+.
Yellowjackets (Season 3)
Yellowjackets tells the story of a high-school girls soccer team that – post-airplane crash – becomes stranded deep in the remote northern wilderness. Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story, and coming-of-age drama, the series chronicles the group’s erosion from one thriving unit into multiple savage clans, while also tracking the lives that the surviving team members have attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later.
In Season 3, the teens see a fragile victory: The brutal winter that nearly claimed them has ended. But distrust in leadership, as well as tension among the team members, jeopardizes the group’s chances of being rescued. In the present day, long-buried secrets from the women’s pasts begin to surface. As they fight to keep their lives from unraveling, these former Yellowjackets confront a chilling question: who are they really, and what dark truths are they hiding from each other, and from themselves?
This Emmy®-nominated show stars Emmy® nominees Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, and Lauren Ambrose, as well as Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins, and Simone Kessell, with Elijah Wood returning in a recurring role. Two-time Academy Award®-winner Hilary Swank guest stars, along with Joel McHale.
Yellowjackets Season 3 premiered on Feb. 14. New episodes drop weekly on Fridays through the season finale on Friday, April 11.
Please note: All episodes of Yellowjackets Season 3 and Yellowjackets Season 2 stream on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME® plan only. Yellowjackets Season 1 is available to binge-watch now on Paramount+ with any Paramount+ plan.
