Paramount has announced the movies, TV shows and sports coming to the Paramount+ streaming service in August. The Paramount Plus August 2023 lineup includes the season premieres of Showtime hits Billions and The Chi, while romantics in the mood for a summer fling will enjoy the Paramount+ Original movie Love in Taipei.
You can avoid getting sunburn out on the links and stream CBS Sports’ coverage of the PGA Tour Championship from the comfort of your home. Or you can watch things really heat up in the epic action-adventure film Transformers: Rise of the Beasts ,which makes its streaming debut on the service today.
The Paramount Plus August 2023 slate includes the premiere of The Chi Season 6, from creator and executive producer Lena Waithe. The series revolves around the many residents of a neighborhood in Chicago’s South Side and explores themes of family, mental health, gentrification and economic empowerment, giving the audience a panoramic view of the city itself.
Having grown up near 70th street in the Chatham community herself, it was crucial for Waithe to accurately portray the many facets of her hometown and the city has always been one of the shows’ main characters.
The hit Showtime series Billions will also debut its seventh and final season. In season seven, conflict comes to a head when longstanding loyalties are called into question which will determine who ultimately ends up on top, and who will be taken down. In this final clash, a familiar face returns with fan-favorite hedge fund manager Bobby “Axe” Axelrod, played by Damian Lewis.
Read on to see all the Paramount Plus August 2023 Originals, library TV shows and movies, and sports. The titles with an asterisk (*) are available to Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers.
