Paramount Plus to Add 7 New Titles This Week – Here Are the 2 Most Interesting

Paramount Plus, the streaming service, this week (January 5-11, 2025) plans to add seven new TV shows and movies to its lineup. Here are the two most interesting, in my humble opinion:

The Golden Globe Awards
Comedienne Nikki Glaser will host Hollywood’s annual salute to itself with The Brutalist, Emilia Perez and A Complete Unknown among the movies that will battle it out for the best film of 2024. It says here that no host will ever be able to replicate Ricky Gervais’ dismantling of Team Tinseltown when he hosted the GGAs in 2020. But Glaser has demonstrated on such venues as Thursday Night Football and Netflix’s Tom Brady roast that she’s willing to break a few eggs. Debuts January 5 at 8 p.m. ET. (Requires Paramount Plus with Showtime plan; will also be on CBS.)

Hollywood Squares
If you wait long enough, the network executives will bring back whatever old show you used to watch religiously, or in this case, you were okay with it playing in the background while you did your household chores. Yes, the 1960s/70s game show, Hollywood Squares, is coming back with Nate Burleson replacing the late Peter Marshall as the host and Drew Barrymore subbing for the even later Paul Lynde in the center square. Debuts January 9. (Requires Paramount Plus with Showtime plan; will also be on CBS.)
