Everything Leaving Paramount+ This Week, Including Werner Herzog’s Biopic

Paramount+ regularly updates its streaming library, which means several notable films are scheduled to depart the platform over the coming days. Subscribers looking to catch up on acclaimed dramas, slashers, and comedies will want to prioritize these selections before they disappear.

From military courtroom proceedings to horror sequels and road trip comedies, this week marks the final chance to stream a diverse slate of features. Viewers should take note of the upcoming expiration dates to ensure they do not miss out on these titles.

‘Queen of the Desert’ (2015)

Directed by Werner Herzog, ‘Queen of the Desert’ chronicles the life of British explorer, writer, and cartographer Gertrude Bell. Nicole Kidman stars as Bell, navigating romantic relationships and complex diplomatic missions across the Middle East in the early twentieth century. The biographical drama features supporting performances from James Franco, Damian Lewis, and Robert Pattinson. Filmed on location in Morocco and Jordan, the production showcases sweeping desert landscapes and historical political negotiations. Subscribers have until October 5, 2026, to stream the historical epic before it officially leaves Paramount+.

‘The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial’ (2023)

Serving as the final directorial feature from William Friedkin, ‘The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial’ updates Herman Wouk’s classic military drama for modern audiences. The narrative centers on a naval officer standing trial for mutiny after taking command from his captain, whom he deemed mentally unstable during a crisis. Kiefer Sutherland portrays the beleaguered Lieutenant Commander Queeg, supported by Jason Clarke, Jake Lacy, and the late Lance Reddick. The legal drama unfolds primarily within a military courtroom, exploring themes of duty, mental health, and chain of command. Viewers can watch the drama on Paramount+ before its departure on October 5, 2026.

‘Scream 4’ (2011)

Directed by Wes Craven, ‘Scream 4’ marks the fourth installment in the iconic meta-slasher franchise. Sidney Prescott returns to Woodsboro on the final stop of her book tour, only for the Ghostface killer to resurface and target a new generation of high school students. Franchise veterans Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette reprise their roles alongside newcomers Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere. The horror film satirizes modern horror tropes, social media culture, and cinematic reboots. Fans of the franchise have until October 7, 2026, to watch the slasher before it exits Paramount+.

‘Soul Men’ (2008)

Directed by Malcolm D. Lee, ‘Soul Men’ is a musical comedy following two estranged former backup singers who reunite after decades apart. Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac star as the musical duo embarking on a cross-country road trip to perform at a tribute concert at the Apollo Theater. The film features supporting appearances from Sharon Leal, John Legend, and Isaac Hayes. It stands as one of the final on-screen film roles for both Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes, who both passed away prior to its theatrical release. The comedy is scheduled to leave the Paramount+ streaming catalog on October 7, 2026.
