‘The Adventures of Paddington’ and Every Other Movie & TV Show Coming To Paramount+ This Week

A new week brings a tidy mix of a Coen-helmed road caper, an irresistibly warm family animation, a long-running aviation docuseries, and a Sylvester Stallone crime drama. Below, you’ll find key details on plots, principal cast and creatives so you can zero in on what fits your queue without hunting around for credits.

Dates run from Monday, September 15 through Sunday, September 21. Each entry notes exactly when it lands this week, along with essentials like who’s starring, who’s behind the camera, and what each project is about—kept to the point and easy to skim.

‘Drive-Away Dolls’ (2024)

Opening the week on Monday, September 15, ‘Drive-Away Dolls’ is a crime-comedy road story about two friends who impulsively take a drive-away car for a fresh start and end up tangled with crooks chasing a mysterious briefcase. The journey veers from carefree detours to increasingly chaotic run-ins as the pair heads south, with the plot hinging on mistaken deliveries, tailing henchmen, and an offbeat chain of coincidences that turns a simple trip into a caper.

The film is directed by Ethan Coen and co-written with Tricia Cooke, who also produced. It stars Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan as the mismatched travelers, with supporting turns from Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Bill Camp, and appearances that include Pedro Pascal and Matt Damon. The movie leans into quick-hit dialogue and character interplay typical of Coen projects while keeping the focus on the duo’s escalating misadventures.

‘The Adventures of Paddington’ (2019–)

Arriving Wednesday, September 17, ‘The Adventures of Paddington’ follows the curious bear’s everyday escapades with the Brown family at 32 Windsor Gardens. Each episode centers on small mysteries, neighborly conundrums, and Paddington’s polite, note-writing approach to solving problems, all rooted in the spirit of Michael Bond’s original stories.

The series features Ben Whishaw voicing Paddington, with episodes developed by Jon Foster and James Lamont and produced by StudioCanal and Heyday alongside Nickelodeon; animation is by Blue-Zoo. Familiar residents like Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Mr. Gruber figure into storylines that highlight kindness, resourcefulness, and gentle humor, making it a reliable watch for families while keeping continuity with the character’s film era.

‘Air Disasters’ (2011–)

Touching down Wednesday, September 17, ‘Air Disasters’ is a documentary series that reconstructs real-world aviation accidents and incidents using flight-data and cockpit-voice recorders, official investigation findings, expert interviews, re-enactments, and CGI visualizations. Episodes walk through each flight’s timeline, the technical factors at play, and the human-factors analysis that investigators use to identify root causes.

Produced by Cineflix, the series is known internationally under titles that include ‘Mayday’ and has covered hundreds of cases from commercial and cargo aviation to regional operations. Each installment focuses on investigative methodology—maintenance records, design reviews, weather analysis, and crew training—showing how agencies such as the NTSB and TSB convert evidence into safety recommendations that shape modern procedures.

‘Tulsa King’ (2022–)

Capping the week on Sunday, September 21, ‘Tulsa King’ centers on Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a New York mafia capo who relocates to Tulsa after 25 years in prison and starts building an unconventional crew from scratch. The story tracks his attempts to establish a power base, cut deals, and navigate local dynamics while old-world codes collide with a very different criminal landscape.

Created by Taylor Sheridan with Terence Winter serving as the initial showrunner, the series stars Sylvester Stallone as Dwight, alongside Andrea Savage as ATF agent Stacy Beale, Martin Starr as dispensary owner Bodhi, Jay Will as driver-turned-protégé Tyson, Max Casella as Armand Truisi, Domenick Lombardozzi as Chickie Invernizzi, Garrett Hedlund as bar owner Mitch Keller, and Dana Delany as Margaret Deveraux. Episodes have been directed by names that include Allen Coulter, with production from 101 Studios and partners across the Paramount ecosystem.
