The three most binge-worthy new series on Paramount+ this weekend, October 2–4, 2026, are massive streaming hits that recently premiered the first episodes of their latest seasons. Between a popular action crime drama series with serious Reacher vibes, a Yellowstone sequel series that is searching for redemption after a critically panned first season, and a brilliantly crafted gangster crime epic with a star-studded cast co-directed by Guy Ritchie, these three Paramount+ shows have officially achieved must-watch status right now. Following the monumental breaking news today that the Warner Bros.-Paramount merger has been approved, Paramount+ may end up having its own section of HBO Max series if the streaming platform is dissolved under its new ownership by David Ellison and the Skydance brand. Until that potentially happens, Paramount+ will continue to be the exclusive streaming home for its original series like Dexter: Resurrection and existing Taylor Sheridan franchises like Lioness and Landman. In the meantime, here's what we're watching this weekend. Tracker The popular crime action drama series Tracker is set to drop its season 4 premiere this Sunday, October 4. Tracker, which is based on a celebrated book series by Jeffery Deaver, centers on an RV-driving nomad named Colter Shaw, played by Justin Hartley. Tracker offers his services to help solve crimes and find missing persons around the country. Tracker season 4 begins with a new mystery involving a missing father that finds him getting involved with a dangerous criminal ring in Los Angeles. Tracker is one of the most popular primetime series on CBS, averaging between 17 and 18 million views per episode. It has a generally strong reception from audiences, as evidenced by its 75% Rotten Tomatoes audience score. Following Tracker season 4's premiere this weekend, new episodes will arrive weekly every Sunday throughout Fall 2026. If you're new to the series, you can catch up on seasons 1 through 3 on Paramount+ ahead of the season 4 debut. Marshals Another exciting season debut on Paramount+ this weekend in Marshals, the Yellowstone sequel series following fan-favorite character Kayce Dutton as an elite modern-day U.S. Marshal. Although Taylor Sheridan does not write for the series, he is an executive producer on the project, and Marshals is officially part of the expansive Yellowstone universe. Marshals season 2 debuts on CBS and Paramount+ this Sunday, October 4, and will look to improve on its alarming 28% Rotten Tomatoes audience score. Marshals features several original Yellowstone cast members, including Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, Brecken Merrill as Tate Dutton, Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater, and Mo Brings Plenty as Mo. Marshals season 2 sees the return of actor Jefferson White, who played the celebrated Yellowstone character Jimmy Hurdstrom. Marshals season 2 is expected to bring more action to the franchise and should be one of the biggest streaming hits this weekend on Paramount+. MobLand MobLand season 2 is off to a great start and is the best new show on Paramount+ to watch this weekend. With its third of ten new episodes dropping on Friday, October 2, MobLand will look to reclaim its #1 worldwide viewership status from Lioness, which still holds the streamer's top spot following season 3's recent finale. MobLand season 2 finds Tom Hardy's Harry Da Souza continuing to fight the battles of the Harrigan crime family, but a new emerging player – a reckless criminal named Frankie Cooper, played by Johnny Flynn – poses a threat to Harry and the entire Harrigan empire. While MobLand season 1 may have narrowed its focus too much on the rival gang war between the Harrigans and the Stevensons, MobLand season 2 increases its scale and raises its stakes across the board. Critics agree that MobLand season 2 is an improvement from its first season, based on its 90% Rotten Tomatoes score. If you enjoy gritty crime dramas, Guy Ritchie projects, or Tom Hardy in a lead role, MobLand is perfect for you this weekend on Paramount+.
