Since its inception, Paramount+ has been a solid destination for quality series. While it hasn’t been around as long as Netflix or Hulu, the platform has managed to carve out a fairly sizable place for itself among the myriad of streaming services. Known for its hilarious commercials, Paramount+ is more than its marketing campaigns, and it shows. Thankfully, next month’s options appear to uphold such a notion.
With one beloved series returning for its final season and a new highly anticipated limited series coming to the platform, there should be something nearly every subscriber will enjoy watching. Along with a docuseries that explores tough situations, there’s also a reality show primed for those who love competition. While there might not be many options available next month, there are some returning favorites that subscribers will find worth watching.

CTRL+ALT+DESIRE (Docuseries)
Stream on April 16
CTRL+ALT+DESIRE is a three-part docuseries about Grant Amato, who was convicted of killing his brother and parents following an obsessive relationship he developed with an internet cam model named Silvie.

By crafting an online persona of a cool and confident man, he believed she would love him as he did her. However, Silvie was merely doing her job.
The docuseries aims to explore the depths of loneliness and what that can do to people, especially in the age of the internet. By examining Amato, filmmaker Colin Archdeacon hopes to analyze the cross-section of loneliness and technology and investigate how such a situation effectively reshapes our current society. A complex story with many layers, CTRL+ALT+DESIRE ultimately reveals more about society overall than it does about just one person. CTRL+ALT+DESIRE is streaming on Paramont+ on Apr. 16.
