Best Shows to Binge on Paramount+ in November 2025

Paramount+ has a busy November with fresh premieres, weekly drops, and a few big catalog arrivals that make for easy marathons, plus some standout series from last month that are still rolling and ready to binge right now. New additions include a Tracy Morgan led sitcom set in the world of ‘The Neighborhood’, another Taylor Sheridan drama deep in oil country, and family picks that add new episodes through the month. A handful of older favorites also land in full so you can start at episode one and go straight through the finale. To round things out, we added a few October highlights that continue into November, giving you a complete ten show watchlist.

‘Defiance’ (2013–2015)

Set after alien species arrive and remake Earth, ‘Defiance’ follows former soldier Joshua Nolan and his adopted Votan daughter Irisa as they police a frontier town built on the ruins of St. Louis. The show blends action and political intrigue as humans and Votans form fragile alliances while crime families and militias vie for power. All seasons arrive as a library addition on Saturday, November 1, which makes it an all at once binge. Episodes focus on town hall deals, terraformed landscapes, and shifting treaties that test every relationship.

‘Rules of Engagement’ (2007–2013)

This ensemble sitcom tracks two couples and their single friend as they navigate proposals, weddings, and everyday misfires around work and home. Episodes mix office antics with relationship growing pains across a multi season run. The complete series lands as a catalog drop on Saturday, November 1, so you can start at the beginning and follow the group’s evolving dynamics without gaps. Plots move from neighborly misunderstandings to weekend getaways that never go as planned.

‘Crutch’ (2025– )

From the world of ‘The Neighborhood’, ‘Crutch’ stars Tracy Morgan as Francois “Crutch” Crutchfield, a Harlem shop owner whose empty nest plan collapses when his adult kids move back home. The comedy centers on family logistics, neighborhood change, and three adults trying to reset their lives under one roof. It premieres Monday, November 3 as a Paramount+ Original with all episodes available the same day for an instant binge. Storylines jump from storefront repairs to job hunts and house rules that no one quite follows.

‘Rubble & Crew’ (2023– )

A ‘PAW Patrol’ spinoff, ‘Rubble & Crew’ follows the English bulldog and his construction family as they tackle building projects around Builder Cove. Each episode highlights teamwork, problem solving, and kid friendly engineering while the crew whips up bridges, tunnels, and clever fixes for the town. New episodes start streaming on Wednesday, November 5 in a streaming premiere window, and earlier installments are available to catch up. Plots often turn a small civic hiccup into a teachable blueprint for young builders.

‘Landman’ (2024– )

Created by Taylor Sheridan and inspired by the ‘Boomtown’ podcast, ‘Landman’ dives into West Texas oil country where land brokers, roughnecks, and billionaire wildcatters collide. The story follows Tommy Norris through high stakes deals, lawsuits, and family fallout that track the boom and bust of energy wealth.

Episodes move from boardroom negotiations to field site crises that ripple through jobs, towns, and families.

‘Chuck’ (2007–2012)

‘Chuck’ blends spy missions with workplace comedy as an electronics store clerk accidentally downloads a top secret database into his brain. With CIA and NSA handlers assigned to keep him alive, he splits time between Buy More shifts and globe trotting assignments that often collide in the same day. The full series arrives as a library addition on Saturday, November 15 for a start to finish marathon. Plots combine gadget heavy operations, undercover covers gone sideways, and a slow burn partnership at the core of the team.

‘The Smurfs’ (2021– )

The modern CG ‘The Smurfs’ brings Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and Brainy back to Smurf Village with bright adventures that keep the classic spirit intact. Episodes show the blue crew solving village troubles while the scheming Gargamel tries to capture their magic.
