Tyler Perry’s Hit Drama Drops Three Seasons on Paramount+ — Plus All the New Releases This Week
Paramount+ turns this week into a binge-fest, dropping a three-season run of Tyler Perry’s The Oval — Seasons 5 and 6 to catch up on, capped by the Season 7 premiere on April 15, 2026 — alongside a slate of other fresh arrivals.
If you blink, you might miss a stacked week for Paramount+: there's a serious binge opportunity, some new original series, and one of Tyler Perry's most addictive dramas dropping a ton of episodes. Good luck having time for literally anything else.
The Oval's White House Gets Messier
Tyler Perry's 'The Oval'—yeah, the wild political soap with more twists than a season of Real Housewives—just unloaded its latest seasons on Paramount+. Or, more specifically: seasons five, six, and the big debut of season seven, all lined up for your viewing pleasure. The latest drama kicks off April 15, 2026, with mainstays President Hunter Franklin and First Lady Victoria Franklin still pretending to play nice even as they're practically plotting to strangle each other behind the Lincoln Bedroom door. Victoria's not exactly shy about wanting to destroy Hunter's career, and that feud explodes all over the West Wing.
In true Perry fashion, don't expect anyone—White House staff, their families, even the maids—to stay out of the blast zone.
For Sports Fans: Clint Dempsey Gets His Due
If you want a break from Tyler Perry's backstabbing, Paramount+ is also rolling out a new original docuseries on April 14 called 'You Don’t Know Where I’m From, Dawg.' This one tracks the career of American soccer legend Clint Dempsey. You get everything from childhood highlights to those bizarrely intense mid-2000s USMNT glory days, plus interviews with people who actually know him—not just generic talking heads.
If you think soccer stories are always boring, well, either you haven't seen Dempsey play or you just don’t like joy.
And If You Like Basketball...
There’s also 'Made for March,' a four-episode docuseries following the Kansas Jayhawks and Michigan Wolverines on their March Madness journey. The first three episodes are already up, with the finale (episode 104, for the completists) airing April 18. It’s fly-on-the-wall stuff: locker room talks, gut-punch losses, questionable motivational speeches—the kind of behind-the-scenes look you never get unless you weirdly hang out by college gymnasiums.

The Bottom Line
That’s a ton of content—especially for anyone who’s been sleeping on 'The Oval,' which, honestly, might be Tyler Perry's most accidentally hilarious (and addictively messy) series to date. As for the docuseries, if you’re into sports or just like seeing overachievers crack under pressure, you’re in for a treat.
'Paramount+ viewers are in for a binge-fest as they catch up on Seasons 5-6 of The Oval and see the Season 7 premiere. The last two seasons go even deeper into the cutthroat world of politics, with power struggles, explosive clashes, and chaos for everyone in the White House.'
So yeah, maybe clear your calendar—or at least fake a cold. You’ve got some streaming to do.
