New Series and Premieres
February 2026 brings a variety of new content to Paramount+, including the original series “Can You Keep a Secret?” premiering on February 12. This series features Dawn French as Debbie Fendon, who, alongside her husband, devises a plan to claim life insurance on his name despite him being alive. Complicating their scheme is their son, who is married to a law enforcement officer.
In addition to “Can You Keep a Secret?”, the platform will also showcase the second season of “Dreaming Whilst Black,” alongside the 68th Annual Grammy Awards and new seasons of popular shows like “FBI” and “Air Disasters.” Other notable titles debuting this month include “Coldwater,” “Wild Boys: Strangers in Town,” and the midseason premieres of “Ghosts,” “Matlock,” and “Sheriff Country.”
Highlights of February Offerings
Paramount+ will feature a mix of classic films and new series. Viewers can look forward to titles such as “A Night at the Roxbury,” “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,” and “The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone.” The platform also continues to offer popular series like “Tulsa King,” “Billions,” and “Dexter,” which remains a staple for thriller enthusiasts.
Performance of New Series
The recently launched series “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” has received generally positive reviews and has shown promising viewer engagement. According to preliminary data, it garnered 2.1 million viewers in its first eight days, outperforming recent seasons of other Star Trek series like “Strange New Worlds” and “Picard.” However, it still trails behind shows produced by Taylor Sheridan, such as “Mayor of Kingstown.”
Ted Linhart, an analyst in the television business, noted that while “Starfleet Academy” has performed well compared to other recent Star Trek offerings, it has yet to attract a broader audience beyond the existing fan base. The series has already been renewed for a second season, indicating confidence in its potential.
Official Statements & Responses
Paramount+ has not released specific metrics regarding viewer expectations for “Starfleet Academy,” but the early performance data suggests a positive trajectory. Linhart emphasized that it is still early to make definitive conclusions about the show's long-term success.
Criticism & Opposition
Despite the positive reception, some critics have pointed out that “Starfleet Academy” has not yet demonstrated the ability to draw in new audiences outside the established Star Trek fan base. This raises questions about its future viability in a competitive streaming landscape.
Conclusion
February 2026 is set to be an exciting month for Paramount+ subscribers, with a diverse lineup of new series, returning favorites, and classic films. As the platform continues to evolve, the performance of new offerings like “Starfleet Academy” will be closely monitored to gauge their impact on Paramount+'s overall success in the streaming market.
