Paramount+ is keeping it simple the week of Nov 24-30: one heavy, critically praised drama and one sugary holiday special for kids. Whiplash double feature, basically.
What is landing and when
- Tuesday, Nov 25, 2025: The Road (2009)
- Friday, Nov 28, 2025: A PAW Patrol Christmas special (also scheduled to premiere on CBS)
The Road hits Tuesday
If your holiday mood runs bleak instead of jolly, John Hillcoat's The Road shows up on Paramount+ on Tuesday. It's the 2009 adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's 2006 novel, with a screenplay by Joe Penhall. The setup is brutally simple: a father and son, played by Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee, trudge through a ruined United States, trying to make it south from the colder north because warmth is basically the only plan left. Every step throws another test at them, and the movie is very clear about how thin hope can get.
The supporting cast is stacked: Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce, Molly Parker, Michael Kenneth Williams, Garret Dillahunt, and Bob Jennings all show up. Critics were into it when it came out, and it wound up with a pile of nominations, including a BAFTA nod.
PAW Patrol brings the snow and songs Friday
On the other end of the vibe chart, a PAW Patrol Christmas special arrives Friday. This one centers on Rubble, the construction-obsessed pup, waiting on a new laser drill from Santa. Then Santa catches a cold and suddenly gift delivery is complicated. Yes, the stakes are very 'holiday special,' and yes, your kids will absolutely care. Expect a mix of original tunes and the classic seasonal stuff. It is also scheduled to premiere on the CBS Television Network, so you have options.
