Paramount has announced the lineup of movies, TV shows, and sports coming to the Paramount+ streaming service in April. The Paramount Plus April 2024 schedule includes Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, Dora, Knuckles, The Challenge: All Stars Season 4, golf tournament The Masters, Bob Marley: One Love, and more.
Next month, the U.S.S. Discovery completes its mission to explore the outer reaches of space (and time) in Star Trek: Discover Season 5. Launched in 2017, the series is one of the longest-running streaming dramas at 65 episodes and helped launch the resurgence of the Star Trek franchise, introducing fans to Picard, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Section 31.
Two new series will debut on the service in April, starting with Dora, a reimagining of the iconic Nickelodeon children’s cartoon. Knuckles, meanwhile, is the first expansion of the cinematic world of Sonic the Hedgehog. The series continues the adventures of the eponymous hot-head echidna, voiced by Idris Elba, whom we met in the film Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
The Challenge: All Stars is headed to South Africa, where 24 contenders will compete for the grand prize of $300,000. Longtime fans of the MTV series should look out for cast favorites who haven’t appeared in the franchise for some time, including Kefla Hare (1999), Flora Alekseyeun (2002), Adam Larson (2006), and Rachel Robinson (2012).
In celebration of Earth Week, Paramount+ will launch Earthly Adventures, a special collection of content that gives viewers a comprehensive tour of our planet and brings them face-to-face with exotic creatures and natural wonders. Subscribers can explore national parks in the US and (safely) travel through the wildest parts of every continent.
The upcoming documentary series CTRL+ALT+DESIRE tells a gripping story of online addiction and infatuation that resulted in a Florida manhunt to capture Grant Amato for the murder of his parents and brother. The three-episode series chronicles Amato’s obsession with a Bulgarian webcam model that led him to steal $200,000 from his family before attempting to stage a murder-suicide to cover up his crimes.
Paramount+ hits the greens next month as top golfers from around the globe compete at The Masters. Live coverage of the golf tournament begins with Masters On the Range, featuring interviews with players and expert commentary and analysis from the CBS Sports team. In total, expect more than 100 hours of Masters Live content across four live channels on the service, including five Masters specials preceding live third and final round coverage.
In April, the global sensation that is the NCIS franchise will air its 1,000th episode with an episode of the flagship series, NCIS, airing April 15. Entertainment Tonight is commemorating this milestone with NCISVerse: The First 1,000, a special that will stream live on Paramount+ for all premium subscribers on April 8.
