Two fan-favorite Paramount franchises get spin-off movies in January 2025 on Paramount Plus, with new feature films based on “Star Trek” and Nickelodeon’s “Henry Danger.” Among the other movies coming to Paramount Plus this month are the streaming-service premieres of sci-fi thriller “Slingshot,” starring Casey Affleck and Laurence Fishburne, and World War II drama “Murder Company.”
January also brings season premieres of multiple CBS programs, including game shows “Raid the Cage,” “The Price Is Right at Night,” and a new version of “Hollywood Squares” hosted by Drew Barrymore. Crime procedural “NCIS: Sydney” keeps that veteran franchise going with its second-season premiere. Paramount Plus will also stream the Golden Globe Awards simultaneously with CBS, honoring the best in movies and TV from 2024.
Read on for all of this month’s Paramount Plus highlights.
New on Paramount Plus in January 2025: Top Picks
‘Henry Danger: The Movie’
When the superhero comedy “Henry Danger” launched on Nickelodeon in 2014, the title character was just 13 years old, taking on the job of kid sidekick to the heroic Captain Man. Now, star Jace Norman is in his mid-20s, and Henry Hart, aka Kid Danger, has grown up, too, facing all-new threats in the movie continuation of the five-season series. Norman is joined by returning co-stars Sean Ryan Fox, Ella Anderson, Michael D. Cohen and Frankie Grande for this allegedly final “Henry Danger” adventure.
“Henry Danger: The Movie” jumps on the current superhero multiverse trend, as Henry meets his young superfan Missy Martin (Glee Dango), who has built a device that takes them into various alternate realities. Henry and Missy must battle villains across multiple worlds in order to get him back to the life he’s left behind.

‘Star Trek: Section 31’
The latest addition to Paramount Plus’ extensive “Star Trek” lineup is an original feature film starring Michelle Yeoh as her “Star Trek: Discovery” character Philippa Georgiou, a ruthless spy engaged in black-ops missions that Starfleet can’t officially sanction. Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl and Sam Richardson join Yeoh as agents tasked with taking down a galactic threat, in a story set between the eras of the original “Star Trek” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”
At one time intended to be an ongoing series, “Section 31” shifted to a standalone film thanks to Yeoh’s busy schedule. Although it’s debuting on a streaming service, that technically makes it the first “Star Trek” feature film since 2016, and director Olatunde Osunsanmi has put together what looks like a colorful adventure with plenty of fight scenes for veteran action star Yeoh.
Watch on Paramount Plus starting January 24
‘Watson’
There are many, many movies and TV series about legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, but almost none that focus primarily on his trusty assistant, Dr. John Watson. That changes with this new CBS drama starring Morris Chestnut as the title character, which brings him into the present day and makes him the lead character.
This version of Watson is mourning the death of his longtime friend Sherlock Holmes, who was apparently killed by his nemesis James Moriarty. Watson decides to return to his medical practice, putting his detective skills to use to treat mysterious and unusual diseases. Creator Craig Sweeny previously worked on fellow CBS Holmes-based drama “Elementary,” and while “Watson” isn’t a spin-off of that show, it applies the same modern procedural approach to author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic works.
