Paramount Plus is adding a ton of new movies and shows this August. There's something for everyone thanks to CBS Sports and Paramount's deep library of new and classic movies and shows. New original movies, exclusive streaming movie debuts, new show premieres and live sports plus dozens of movies and shows added to the streaming service's library are a combination that even some of the best streaming services can't match.
This month, you're getting a critically acclaimed movie starring Anthony Hopkins, the final season of a beloved series and the start of a new show you'll be sure to love. Plus, live soccer returns to the platform from a number of European leagues. Here's our detailed guide to everything coming to Paramount Plus in August 2024.
NEW ON PARAMOUNT PLUS IN August 2024: TOP PICKS
'One Life'
In 1988, English stockbroker Nicholas Winton (now Sir Nicholas Winton), arrived on the set of the BBC show "That's Life." Later in the taping of the show, it was revealed that the entire studio audience owed their lives to this one, 79-year-old man.
That's because Sir Nicholas was responsible for saving the lives of 669 children — mostly Jewish — from the Holocaust as Nazi Germany made its way into Czechoslovakia (now Czechia and Slovakia). "One Life" stars Anthony Hopkins as the 79-year-old Winton and cuts between his life in 1988 and the events that lead up to the "That's Life" taping and his life in 1938 (played by Johnny Flynn) as a 29-year-old who played an incredible role in the Kindertransport initiative that saved nearly 10,000 lives from the evils of Nazi Germany.
Premieres August 5 on Paramount Plus with Showtime
'SEAL Team' final season premiere
SEAL Team has been a massive hit for CBS and Paramount. But all good things must come to an end and this seventh season of the hit show will also be its last.
In season 7, Bravo Team heads into Colombia led by Master Chief Special Warfare Operator Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz) for one final mission. This team of elite U.S. Navy Seals must undertake the most dangerous, high-stakes mission the military can throw at them, all while still managing to keep their personal lives intact. This final season adds Beau Knapp as Chief Special Warfare Operator Drew Franklin and Dylan Walsh as Captain Walch to the cast and the two-episode premiere lands on Paramount Plus this August.
Premieres August 11 on Paramount Plus
'RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars' season premiere
