After what seems like an eternity, Brad Pitt’s massively successful F1 will finally make its streaming debut on the platform in the next couple of weeks. Here’s what it’ll be joining in December.

Get the most out of Paramount+ and sign up to its more premium plan. You're essentially getting two catalogs of content, throwing together both Paramount+ and Showtime Originals. And if you're a big fan of the likes of Tulsa King, Survivor, 1883, other CBS hits as well as live sports, and those Showtime titles, CinemaBlend always suggests saving big with the annual plan, working out as little a $10 a month.

Don’t want to wait for your favorite movies (or maybe those you missed on the big screen) to hit one of your favorite streaming services? You’ll have to pay a premium for the convenience of watching a movie early (some of these titles cost $25 on Amazon), but sometimes it’s totally worth it.

With only a few weeks before we welcome all those upcoming 2026 movies, it won’t be long before we see the rest of the biggest 2025 releases find their way to VOD and streaming services.

Philip Sledge
Content Writer

Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.
