What’s new on Paramount+ in May 2025

By Blair Marnell Updated May 4, 2025

Paramount+ promised a mountain of content when CBS All Access was rebranded into it’s current form. And for the month of May, Paramount+ is delivering on that promise with an impressive lineup of original series and fan-favorite movies.

Showtime’s The Chi returns on May 16 with its seventh season, which will be available on Paramount+ with Showtime. But every subscriber will be able to check in with the new season of Criminal Minds: Evolution, which is either the third season of the revival or the 18th season overall, depending on how you see it.

Some of the most enticing additions to this month’s movie library are exclusive to Paramount+ with Showtime. Paramount+’s lower tiers get everything else.
