Paramount+ is constantly adding new shows to binge, and this weekend is no exception. The streaming service drops new episodes of hit shows every week, and sometimes even entire seasons to binge. In fact, it just added 70 new movies and shows on July 1.
These aren’t always new, original shows, though. While Paramount+ adds new shows from Paramount’s networks, like CBS, as well as co-productions with international studios, it also brings back older shows, ripe for a binge-watch. It even has some live sporting events, including all major events from the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
This weekend, I’ve got two shows and one live event worth watching. First, fans of Tyler Perry will want to check out the “Zatima” season 4 finale, which just dropped earlier this week. Once you’re done, you can also check out the season 1 finale of “Dutton Ranch,” which wrapped up its debut season last week. Then, on Saturday, tune in at 9 p.m. ET for UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway, which marks Conor McGregor’s first UFC fight since 2021.
Here are the three new to Paramount+ shows you need to binge-watch this weekend. If you need more recommendations, check out everything coming to Paramount+ in July 2026 for more options.
Malcolm McMillan
Malcolm has been with Tom’s Guide since 2022 and watches dozens of shows each year, so you don’t need to watch any bad ones. He’s already watched over 30 seasons of TV this year, and thankfully, it’s mostly been good.
‘Tyler Perry’s Zatima’ season 4
Genre: Drama miniseries
What’s it about? This comedy drama was originally a spin-off of “Sistas” for BET+, but now, it’s on Paramount+. It stars Devale Ellis as Zac and Crystal Renee Hayslett as Fatima, whose names combine for the titular portmanteau, “Zatima.” But while they love each other enough for a cute couple nickname, their relationship is constantly under threat from secrets, lies … and even guns.
Why you should watch it: Look, this show is essentially a soap opera, especially if the season 4 trailer is any indication. But guess what? People love soap operas. So, if you’re someone who loves to feel good for a moment before getting dragged into some messy drama, this show could be your next favorite binge.

‘Dutton Ranch’ season 1
Genre: Neo-Western drama series
What’s it about? “Dutton Ranch” stars Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly, reprising their roles as Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton from “Yellowstone.” In this spin-off/sequel, they’re starting over in Texas, hoping to get away from the baggage of Montana. But it turns out there’s plenty of new drama in the Lone Star State.
Why you should watch it: “Yellowstone” never really spoke to me, but I’ve been really enjoying this spin-off. In my “Dutton Ranch” review, I highlighted Ed Harris and Annette Bening as being big reasons I liked it, and so far, they remain the highlights of the show. But the season finale brought in a major twist and a massive new player into the show, and frankly, I’m a bit annoyed I’ll have to wait for season 2 to see how it plays out.

UFC 329: MCGregor vs Holloway
Genre: Live sporting event
What’s it about? Conor McGregor was the hottest name in the UFC when he beat Max Holloway in 2013. That was McGregor’s 10th consecutive win in a 15-win streak. But now, it’s Holloway who’s arguably the more decorated fighter. He struggles outside of the featherweight division, so this welterweight bout might be the perfect opportunity for McGregor to mount a comeback.
Why you should watch it: Obviously, you can’t binge a live sports event. But getting sports such as UFC is a major reason for having Paramount+, and this is undeniably one of the biggest fights of the year. Since it’s technically a show, I couldn’t leave it off the list this weekend.
Stream UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway on Paramount+ starting at 9 p.m. ET on July 11
