Paramount+ Unveils Exciting Film Lineup for April 2025

LOS ANGELES, California — Paramount+ is set to brighten up the spring season with a compelling lineup of movies premiering in April 2025, featuring a diverse selection designed to appeal to a variety of viewers. Highlighting female-led narratives, animated blockbusters, and chilling horror, the streaming service promises something for everyone this month.
Among the notable releases is the anticipated romantic drama “The Return,” directed by Uberto Pasolini and based on Homer’s “Odyssey.” Starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche, the film follows Odysseus’s long-awaited return to Ithaca after twenty years of battling fate and time. The cinematic adaptation previously premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024, garnering positive early reviews.
Adding to the thrill, fans of gripping dramas can look forward to “The Last Stop in Yuma County,” a neo-Western tale set in the 1970s that dives into intense narratives of survival and resilience. Though accessible exclusively to subscribers of the Paramount+ with Showtime tier, its inclusion in the month’s offerings exemplifies the platform’s commitment to original content.
“For us, wrapping ourselves in fresh concepts and revisiting classic stories resonates strongly with our audience,” said a Paramount+ spokesperson. “We ensure a myriad of experiences, from light-hearted comedies to gripping narratives.”
Another highlight of the month is “Babygirl,” an A24 erotic drama starring Nicole Kidman. Previously released in theaters over the holiday season, “Babygirl” captivated audiences to the tune of nearly $30 million at the domestic box office and exhibited Kidman’s stellar performance, earning her multiple accolades.
Additionally, Disney+ and Netflix continue to dominate streaming with family-friendly and classic titles. Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” debuted at the end of March and has rapidly become a go-to for family viewings this April.
Paramount+ is also presenting collaborative specials, such as “An Evening with Elton John and Brandi Carlile,” where the music legends connect through shared experiences in an intimate concert setting. It showcases their unique friendship and musical journey, filmed at the renowned Palladium Theatre in London.
