What’s new on Paramount+ in April 2025

Ralph Fiennes in The Return.
Bleecker Street

Christopher Nolan may be making The Odyssey through the rest of this year, but Paramount+ features a different take on the classic tale in April 2025. The Return, an epic film that had a very limited theatrical release last year, adapts the final chapter in The Odyssey, with Ralph Fiennes as an older Odysseus. The warrior king has become a broken man after two decades away, but he’ll have to fight to reclaim his kingdom and his wife, Penelope (Juliette Binoche).

Another little-seen gem, The Last Stop in Yuma County, is joining Paramount+’s movie library this month. This film is a neo-Western set in the ’70s, and it may be cult classic material. Some of the other highlights this month include An Evening with Elton John and Brandi Carlile, and new episodes of MobLand, which will run throughout the month.

Some of the most enticing additions to this month’s movie library are exclusive to Paramount+ with Showtime. Paramount+’s lower tiers get everything else.

3 great free movies to stream this weekend (December 20-22)
Timothée Chalamet holds a cane in Wonka.

This weekend, more than ever, is the time to take your family to the theaters. Mufasa: The Lion King and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 are opening on December 20. Both movies are expected to gross over $50 million domestically. With the Christmas and New Year holidays approaching, both movies should see a lot of business between now and January 1.

Holidays are also a time to stay home and watch movies. After spending money on presents, save a few bucks by streaming a free movie on a FAST service. On a FAST service, users must watch ads during their feature presentation, but it doesn't cost a dime, so that's a positive. If you need a recommendation, check out these three movies, including a 1990s thriller, a family musical, and a laugh-out-loud comedy.
