Looking for the best TV shows to watch on Paramount+ this week, January 26–30, 2026? Screen Rant has curated five binge-worthy new streaming hits and classic hidden gems worth your time right now.

While U.S. viewers are stuck inside during the nationwide winter storm this week, these five outstanding series are built to entertain. Each series has two or more seasons, making them perfect choices for an immersive long-term binge this week.

Tulsa King

Tulsa King stars Sylvester Stallone in one of his career-best performances as the former mobster turned businessman, Dwight Manfredi. Created by Taylor Sheridan, the series consists of three binge-worthy seasons that offer laughs, suspense, and classic Stallone action.

Tulsa King also has a surprisingly stacked ensemble cast, including Garret Hedlund, Martin Starr, Dana Delany, and season 3 newcomers Robert Patrick and Samuel L. Jackson. For fans of old-school crime thrillers, it doesn't get much better than Tulsa King on Paramount+

Billions

With its seven seasons and 84 episodes, Billions can keep you hooked for quite some time. An epic financial drama that paved the way for popular series like HBO's Succession and Industry, Billions is one of the best Showtime original series ever made.

Billions is led by Damian Lewis (Homeland) and Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) and takes place deep within the cutthroat corporate world of New York finance. Although Showtime has a history of stretching shows out to the point of decline, it's still a must-watch drama series.

Nathan For You

Nathan For You is easily one of the most innovative comedy series of the 21st century and laid the foundation for Nathan Fielder's rise to comedic superstardom and his hit HBO series The Rehearsal. The king of "troll" comedy, it's hard to tell when Fielder is "doing it for the bit" thanks to his hilarious deadpan style.

Although Nathan For You concluded in 2017 after four seasons, it's still worth watching for all fans of comedy shows. The series blends reality and documentary, filming real-life people, with fiction, mainly due to Fielder's over-the-top yet genius entrepreneur character. Fielder convinces people to take a chance on unusual business and marketing schemes to attract customers in this unique, can't-miss comedy.

School Spirits

School Spirits season 3 premieres this week on Wednesday, January 28, making now your last chance to binge the first two seasons before it drops. Released in 2023, School Spirits combines teen drama with fantasy and mystery to create a gripping viewing experience.

The first three episodes of School Spirits season 3 will all be released this week, followed by weekly episode drops each Wednesday. Featuring a talented cast of rising actors like Peyton List, Kristian Ventura, Spencer Macpherson, and Kiara Pichardo, this series is bound to be one of the biggest streaming hits on Paramount+ this week.

Dexter

Dexter remains one of the best thriller series of all time and is a must-watch masterpiece for all Paramount+ subscribers. Consisting of 8 original seasons, two sequel series, and a cancelled prequel, there are so many episodes within the Dexter universe to explore.

Dexter is one of those series that gets better with more and more re-watches, especially since its 2025 revival series, Dexter: Resurrection, became such an unexpected hit. Starring Michael C. Hall in a career-defining performance, Dexter is always a safe choice for a well-crafted and thrilling binge on Paramount+.
