Paramount+ Weekend Watchlist: Shows (Feb. 27-March 1)

Paramount+ is home to a ton of great shows worthy of a weekend binge-watch. While Paramount's streaming service offers a wide variety of content from movies to live sports, it also adds new shows or new episodes of ongoing series every week. Plus, it pulls in new shows from Paramount's networks, like CBS, as well as coproductions with international studios, giving you a plethora of shows from a variety of genres.

This weekend, I've got three shows worthy of adding to your watchlist. "Marshals" debuts on March 1 and is the latest spin-off in the "Yellowstone" universe. While you're waiting for that release, check out "Dreaming Whilst Black" season 2, an acclaimed British comedy that's only a few episodes into this latest season. Finally, this weekend is a perfect opportunity to catch up on the supernatural series "School Spirits" before its season 3 finale on March 4.

So read on for the three new to Paramount+ shows you need to binge-watch this weekend, and why you need to watch them.

'Marshals'

Genre: Neo-Western drama

What's it about? "Marshals" stars Luke Grimes, reprising his role as Kayce Dutton from "Yellowstone." This show is both a sequel and a spin-off to the original series, and follows the former U.S. Navy SEAL and rancher as he joins a specialized group of U.S. Marshals tasked with protecting the Montana wilderness.

Why you should watch it: Kayce isn't the only returning character in this addition to the Sheridanverse. Gil Birmingham, Mo Brings Plenty and Brecken Merrill also reprise their roles as Thomas Rainwater, Mo and Tate Dutton. So if "Yellowstone" ended too soon for you, this series is a must-watch when it debuts on Paramount+ this Sunday.

Stream the series premiere of "Marshals" on Paramount+ starting March 1

'Dreaming Whilst Black' season 2

Genre: British comedy series

What's it about? "Dreaming Whilst Black" stars Adjani Salmon as Kwabena. He is a recruiter who, once upon a time, was a film student. But when his old film school friend, Amy (Dani Mosley), comes back into his life, he decides to finally pursue his filmmaking dreams.

Why you should watch it: Season 1 was a smash success critically, and through two seasons, this show is still a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. In season 2, Kwabena finally gets a serious directing job and all the demands that come with it, so we're not retreading the same waters as season 1, either.

'School Spirits' season 3

Genre: Supernatural teen drama

What's it about? In the first season of "School Spirits," Maddie (Peyton List) disappeared suddenly in the fictional town of Split River, Wisconsin. Unfortunately for Maddie, she didn't just disappear; she died. But she didn't leave this mortal plane forever. Instead, she communes between the worlds of the living and the dead, trying to save those who are still in limbo.

Why you should watch it: This teen drama seems to resonate with critics and fans alike. It is currently rated 91% by critics and 89% by audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and the season 3 finale is just around the corner. Catch up over the weekend before season 3 wraps up on March 4.
