In season 1 of the documentary Rehearsal of Rehearsal by Nathan Fielder (The Curse), an outfield player was seen giving other people the opportunity to “rehearse” key moments in their lives to expect every imaginable outcome.

Whether you love solving the mysteries of the wilderness or exploring space, the final frontier, Paramount+ has you covered. Here, in alphabetical order, are the Paramount+ and Showtime series to keep an eye out for.
Paramount+ has a dazzling array of Star Trek shows and movies old and new, including 2025’s film spinoff Star Trek: Section 31 starring Michelle Yeoh. But only one of these series can be called the delightfully horniest of the bunch, and that’d be Strange New Worlds.
Centered on a time when Spock (Ethan Peck) is not only young and sexy, but also everyone (including Carol Kane as a flirtatious engineer) is in love with him, Strange New Worlds doesn’t take itself as seriously as some of the Trek classics. At this point, this series already featured a musical episode featuring the Klingon breakout moves and a crossover episode with the animated comedy Lower Decks, which resulted in all kinds of epic adventures and hilarity.
What does Season 3 have in store? Paramount gave a glimpse of some of the action and drama to come out of New York Comic Con last fall. But we suspect the show’s biggest surprises are being held close to their coms badges. We can’t wait to see them. —K.P.
Starring: Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun, Bruce Horak, Rebecca Romijn and Martin Quinn
How to watch: The Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season will premiere on Paramount in 2025.

Is Sarah Snook taking the lead in a new series?Surely this had to happen. Given how smart she was in Netflix’s underrated horror film Run Rabbit Run, the Succession star would be best suited for her role in Megan Gallagher’s All Her Fault, in which she plays a mother who will look for her young son on a game night only to notice that he is missing.
