What’s new on Paramount+ in March 2025
Robbie Williams is very devolved in Better Man.

It's strange that Paramount+ is touting Better Man as one of its top new additions in March 2025 without giving it a premiere date. It's an unusual music biopic about singer Robbie Williams, who portrays himself as a CGI anthropomorphic chimpanzee for some reason. The film got great critical reviews, which did not translate into box office success. But now Better Man has a chance for a second life in streaming.

There are two new original series debuting this month on Paramount+: Happy Face and MobLand. But the film to really get excited about is the streaming debut of Strange Darling, one of the best thrillers of 2024.

What is Star Trek: Section 31? Inside the origins of Paramount+’s new TV movie

It’s been nearly a decade since the release of the last theatrical Star Trek film, but in that time, Star Trek has returned to television in a big way, launching five new series with more to come. Now, while Paramount Pictures continues to drag its feet on a follow-up to Star Trek Beyond, their TV counterparts are kicking off what they hope will be a new tradition of direct-to-streaming features.
First on their slate is Star Trek: Section 31, a spy-fi action flick in which Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh reprises her role as the somewhat-reformed tyrannical Emperor Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery. The film sees Georgiou rejoin the United Federation of Planets’ shady black ops agency, marking the first time that Section 31 will feature as the protagonists of a Star Trek story rather than a villain or obstacle.
How exactly did Section 31 mutate from the Federation’s Illuminati to its Impossible Mission Force? For our answer, we’ll have to dig into decades of behind-the-scenes intrigue and centuries of Star Trek continuity.

Section 31 was Deep Space Nine’s scariest villain
