Which Paramount + series can you discover thanks to Canal +?
The American studio’s platform is not short of nuggets that are largely unknown in France, which are now visible to a wide audience via Canal +. Our selection.
Evil – 4 seasons
The grand finale airs this week! So now is the perfect time to jump into the brilliant horror series created by Robert and Michelle King. The creators of The Good Fight play with religion and beliefs in this drama that walks a fine line between the supernatural and a psychological thriller. A trio of experts hired by the Church must determine cases of demonic possession and recommend exorcisms if necessary. But is there really a Devil on Earth? Or is all this terror ultimately not very human?
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – 2 seasons
Paramount is the studio of Star Trek. And as such, Paramount + offers in its catalog ALL the series of the Federation. From the original of the 60’s to Discovery (seen for a while on Netflix in France) via The New Generationthere is something to explore the stars on board the ships Starfleet. But we recommend the latest one, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Centered on the years when Captain Pike was in command of the Enterprise, with a young Spock at his side, it joins the original series in spirit, while bringing a welcome touch of modernity.
Yellowstone – 5 seasons
This is the phenomenon that has conquered America in recent years. A soap-style western set in Montana, imagined by the brilliant Taylor Sheridan (director of Take Shelter notably). A family saga around an all-powerful ranch and the rivalries with its neighbors. Kevin Costner carries on his shoulders this plunge into the Wild West of today… And since there are only a handful of episodes left before the end, it’s time.
The Curse – 1 season
Before his Oscar for Poor CreaturesEmma Stone was already in full trip in this series that redefined the very concept of “cringe”. Absolutely awkward and admirably assumed, this creation of Nathan Fielder & Benny Safdie makes fun of gentrification, reality TV, micropenises and human relationships in every sense. A dizzying and perfectly indefinable social comedy.
Interview with a Vampire – 2 seasons
Anne Rice’s literary saga comes back to life on the small screen. After the cult film, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt make way for this adaptation that brings new blood. We find Lestat, the irresistible vampire and Louis, his new prey from New Orleans, but in a modern and revisited version, which will surprise you.
Tulsa King – 1 season
With season 2 coming this fall, it’s a good time to discover Sylvester Stallone as a disillusioned New York mafia “capo” who has moved to Oklahoma. A cool, old-school thriller that rekindles the flame of the old Sly, who is still as impressive as ever.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon And The Ones Who Live – 1 season
The continuation of the franchise TWD. Zombie fans will not miss these two series that have in common the fact that they take us on a journey. The first takes place in France and takes us on the trail of Daryl Dixon, who is trying to return home and discovers that the undead pandemic has also ravaged Europe (season 2 to come). The second brings us Rick Grimes, a prisoner of the famous Civil Republic near Philadelphia, whom Michonne will go and find using a katana…
The Offer – 1 season
Miles Teller plays Albert S. Ruddy in the backstage of Godfather. The true story of the genesis of Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece, told from the producer’s point of view. Or how the Mafia tried to thwart the film… A true story almost as crazy as the thriller itself.
Knuckles – 1 season
Because there’s something for the whole family, this live series has everything you need to be a perfect little appetizer before the release of Sonic 3 at the cinema. The Sega saga is available on the small screen in this story centered on Knuckles, the powerful red hedgehog, voiced by Idris Elba. A fun comedy, in the spirit of the first two films.
South Park – special TV films
Paramount Plus has ordered several special episodes from Trey Parker and Matt Stone. South Park mocks the pandemic, South Park mocks the streaming war, the new porn or the fight against obesity. And all this can now be seen via Canal +.
