3 new to Paramount+ shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (July 3-5)
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 coproductions with international studios, it also brings back older shows, ripe for a binge-watch.
This weekend, I've got three shows worth watching. First, there's "Dutton Ranch," which just dropped its season 1 finale this morning. Once you're done watching that, you can start binging all 10 episodes of "The Agency" season 2. Finally, once you've watched all nine episodes of "Dutton Ranch" and all 20 episodes across both seasons of "The Agency," you can start on "Tyler Perry's Ruthless" season 6, which just had its season premiere this week.
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.
'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, though some other characters are starting to grow on me. I haven't stopped watching and you should start.

'The Agency' season 2
Genre: Spy thriller series
What's it about? "The Agency” is an adaptation of the acclaimed French spy thriller series "Le Bureau des Légendes" (or "The Bureau"). It's set at the CIA's London office and stars Michael Fassbender as a deep-cover agent named Brandon, though he mostly goes by his codename: "Martian." His cover and his work life are dangerously intertwined, and in season 2, he will betray the CIA to save the woman he loves (Jodie Turner-Smith).
Why you should watch it: I've already seen the entire season, and in my "The Agency" season 2 review, I landed firmly in the camp of loving this show once again. It's not a perfect show, and most of the problems from season 1 are still there in season 2. But this show knows how to build to an explosive finale, and I don't mean that metaphorically.

'Tyler Perry's Ruthless' season 6
Genre: Drama miniseries
What's it about? This spin-off of "The Oval" stars Melissa L. Williams as Ruth, who has become entangled in a powerful sex cult. Six seasons in, she's now pregnant with the child of The Highest (Matt Cedeño), who leads the cult, and that's finally given her an opportunity to wield power within it.
Why you should watch it: I'll be honest, this show sounds absolutely insane. But people love Tyler Perry's shows, so it felt wrong not to mention that one of his series had just returned for a sixth season. Clearly, something is working with this series.
