Nothing tests patience quite like waiting for a new season of your favourite show to drop—especially a cliffhanger-packed drama like Yellowjackets.
While we wait for the fourth and final season (with twitchy anticipation), Paramount+ has heaps of equally dark and twisted TV series to stream.
From shadowy mob empires and meticulous killers hiding in plain sight to secret-filled small towns and haunted estates brimming with mischievous spirits.
Buckle up, cause these five shows deliver the same all-consuming, edge-of-your-seat energy.
Dexter: Original Sin
Kill the bad guys and don’t get caught—that’s Dexter Morgan’s plan, a bloodthirsty serial killer learning to control his murderous urges. Under his father’s Code, he learns to hunt down the guilty without leaving a trace—or so he hopes. Dexter’s forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department means he’ll have to navigate withholding secrets and facing close calls.
Featuring the legendary return of Michael C. Hall as Dexter’s inner voice, Dexter: Original Sin unpacks how it all began—dive in now on Paramount+.
Landman
Welcome to the oil business, where every deal could make you rich or get you killed. Landman is an explosive drama from the creator of Yellowstone that plunges into the cut-throat world of Texas’ booming oil industry. Academy Award winner Billy Bob Thornton leads a star-studded cast, including Emmy winner Jon Hamm and Golden Globe winner Demi Moore.
In this Paramount+ favourite, we promise the drama is scorching hot, and the stakes are sky high.
Mobland
Dropping you straight into a volatile turf war between two mob families, MobLand is a high-drama crime saga fuelled by power struggles and double-crossings. Caught in the crossfire is street-smart ‘fixer’ Harry De Souza, played by the magnetic Tom Hardy. Impossible to look away from, this Paramount+ hit puts you front row as loyalties fracture and empires wobble.
Boasting big names like Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, it’s no wonder this series is a global sensation.
The Gilded Age, Season Three
A polished period drama set in 1880s New York, The Gilded Age returns for a new season on Paramount+. The series follows powerful families navigating social change as new money challenges long-held traditions, sparking rivalries, relationships and quiet power plays behind closed doors.
Dive in for season three, as loyalties shift and ambitions come into focus. It’s an easy and engrossing watch for fans of character-driven drama.
Twin Peaks
What starts as a small-town murder mystery rapidly spirals into something far stranger in the cult classic ’90s crime series, Twin Peaks. When FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) arrives to investigate the death of homecoming queen Laura Palmer, he quickly uncovers a web of secrets, conspiracies and more murders that all lead back to Laura’s death.
With two gripping seasons ready to watch on Paramount+, this drama-filled series will have you streaming every episode across a weekend.
Staying in may be the smartest move of the summer once you hit play on Paramount+.
