Paramount+‘s new TV and movie releases for February 2-8, 2026, include the fan-favorite Kate Winslet movie, The Reader.
The Reader is a 2008 romantic drama film directed by Stephen Daldry, featuring Kate Winslet as Hanna Schmitz, David Kross as Michael Berg, and Ralph Fiennes as Berg’s older version. The movie is the cinematic adaptation of Bernhard Schlink’s 1995 novel, Der Vorleser.
The story takes place in post-war Germany, where 15-year-old Michael Berg has a secretive, passionate affair with Hanna Schmitz, a tram conductor in her thirties. Years later, Michael discovers Hanna, who is now on trial for Nazi war crimes.
The film explores guilt, responsibility, and human nature. Michael struggles with his feelings towards Hanna and the supposed atrocities she’s accused of committing.
Other attractions dropping on Paramount+ this week include Season 23 of Air Disasters and 68 Kill.
Premiering this week on the streaming platform, Air Disasters (also known as Mayday) is a documentary series that investigates major plane crashes. The show uses official reports, cockpit voice recordings, and interviews with investigators and survivors as key sources.
Air Disasters recreates the events leading up to the accidents with CGI, providing a detailed look at what went wrong along with preventive measures. It’s a gripping and informative series for anyone interested in aviation or true stories.
Dropping in the same week is the 2017 dark comedy thriller, 68 Kill. It follows Chip (Matthew Gray Gubler), a septic tank cleaner, who’s dragged into a crime spree by his girlfriend, Liza. The plot revolves around the couple’s theft of $68,000 from Liza’s sugar daddy, which precipitates a series of murders, kidnappings, and a desperate struggle for survival.
