Paramount Plus: 4 new shows you won't want to miss this June

Evil, Players, Yellowjackets, and even South Park are headed to Paramount+ this June

Paramount+ is certainly one of the newer streaming services to hit the market, having just rebranded from CBS All Access less than a year ago. Since then, the budding streaming service has done pretty well for itself, amassing almost 33 million paid subscribers. This puts it well behind the likes of Netflix and Disney+, but dwarfs other newer options like Peacock. All that to say that Paramount+ is definitely worth checking out, particularly if you're a fan of shows and movies from CBS, Comedy Central, MTV, or Nickelodeon.

Even better, the streaming platform has committed to releasing new content, adding old favorites, and generally keeping its users engaged from month to month. Take a look at some new shows coming to Paramount+ in June, and check back for more updates on your favorite entertainment services.

Evil Season 3

Available: June 12

Genre: Supernatural Thriller

The psychologist-Catholic priest combo is back for a third season this June, with Katja Herbers (Westworld), Mike Colter (Luke Cage), and Aasift Mandvi (This Way Up) returning to deal with weird monsters, flippant townspeople, and the psychological madness of the first two seasons. Creators Michelle and Robert King insist that the show will dig even deeper into the chemistry between the two main characters, walking the line between comedy and thrills that the show has been so consistent with.

Players

Available: June 16

Genre: Comedy

Esports has grown to a billion-dollar industry, and that's more than enough to make fun of. Players is a fake docuseries from the creators of the much-loved American Vandal series, and looks to be just as hilarious. Following a fictional pro League of Legends esports team, the series looks to comedically shed a bit of light on the newly minted profession in the world of videos games. With veteran Cream Cheese and prodigy Organizm, will the team finally be able to win a championship? Who cares, because if this one is as good as American Vandal, sign us up.

Yellowjackets

Available: June 8

Genre: Thriller

Yes, this show original airs on Showtime; however, Paramount+ subscribers are in the luck, as you'll be able to get to check out the series on your platform without having to pay extra. Unfortunately, there is a catch: you'll only get to watch the first two episodes. Still, this psychological thriller about a girls high school soccer team that survived a crash landing in the remote northern wilderness and the Lord of the Flies-esque madness that ensued. Even if you can't watch the whole thing, getting a taste on Paramount+ is more than worth it, as this one is as messed up as it is compelling.

South Park: The Streaming Wars

Available: June 1

Genre: Comedy/Satire

It's technically a Paramount+ original movie, but the creators of South Park are counting it as the 318th episode of popular animated TV series, so we thought it would be ok to include South Park: The Streaming Wars on this list. The third movie from the South Park gang is poised to be as funny and irreverent as ever, putting the streaming wars between the various platforms in its satirical cross-hairs. Will Cartman say something terrible? Will Kenny die? You'll have to check it out on Paramount+ to find out!

Joe Pickett is a game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, and he means business. No bribes and no corruption for this game warden, which is throwing a wrench in how this small, rural town does business.
