5. Star Trek: Discovery (2017 – Present)
Star Trek is one of the biggest franchises, and Paramount has rights to it. So no wonder the streaming platform has released many new series over the years.

3. Evil (2019 – Present)
As the name suggests, the show falls in the horror genre. Evil follows a trio of a psychologist, a priest-in-training, and a contractor. The three investigate all abnormal activities. More often than not, these activities are also linked to unthinkable crimes. With a 7.7/10 on IMDb, it remains a great show on Paramount Plus.
2. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022 – Present)
Another addition from the Star Trek franchise. The Strange New Worlds is a relatively newer show in the franchise, but it has amassed some of the best ratings from users. The show is a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series. As for its plot, it is focused on the USS Enterprise crew under Captain Christopher Pike’s leadership.
1. 1883 (2021-2022)
1883 is currently regarded as the best Paramount Plus original. The show is a prequel to the highly acclaimed show Yellowstone. After one season, the show has a phenomenal rating of 8.8/10. However, since the series was a prequel, there is very little chance that it will get a sequel in the future.
