‘Couples Therapy' Renewed for Season 5 Following 30% Surge in Viewership
This decision comes after the documentary series saw a significant boost during its fourth season. The premiere episode for the second half of Season 4 delivered a 30% increase on cross-platform viewership compared to the premiere for the prior season. 'Couples Therapy' scored its renewal as the series is in the middle of airing its fourth season, which returned on May 23. All episodes are currently available to watch on Paramount+ with Showtime with new episodes premiering on Fridays.
'Couples Therapy' first premiered in 2019 and follows the work of Dr. Orna Guralnik. Each season jumps between three or four different couples as they participate in a 20-week therapy program. Not all parts of these sessions are shown, but the point of the series is to chronicle the deep and often messy work that therapy requires rather than presenting audiences with another overly dramatized or sanitized version of therapy. With cameras hidden behind a one-way mirror, the series gives viewers an intimate look into these couples' conflicts and their personal breakthroughs.
The documentary series has long been a critical darling. In 2021, 'Couples Therapy' won the Television Critics Association (TCA) Award for Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming, and in 2024, it won the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Award for Best Edited Non-Scripted Series. The show has also been nominated by the International Documentary Association, the Cinema Eye Honor Awards and the Critics Choice Real TV Awards.
'Couples Therapy' is produced by Edgeline Films. Josh Kriegman, Elyse Steinberg and Eli Despres, known for their work on 'Weiner' and 'Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show,' serve as the series' executive producers alongside Vinnie Malhotra. Matt Parker, Bennett Elliott and Carly Hugo produce the second installment of Season 4, which is directed by Pax Wassermann and Bennett Elliott. Paramount Global Content Distribution distributes the series.

從 Netflix 過檔 Paramount：Duffer Brothers 落實四年獨家導演合約
重點摘要 對整個娛樂圈而言，這無疑是一場地震；Matt 及 Ross Duffer 憑 Netflix 文化現象級劇集《怪奇物語 Stranger Things》，現已正式與 Paramount 簽下四年獨家協議。此舉為兄弟檔揭開新篇章，他們將從與 Netflix 的獨家關係過檔至全新的創意基地。 協議將於 2026 年 4 月、現行 Netflix 合約到期後生效；對 Paramount 而言，這可謂一大捷報。兄弟檔將負責開發多元項目，涵蓋電視及串流劇集，但重點放在親自執導氣勢磅礴的院線電影。能把視野拓展至大銀幕，正是他們轉投 Paramount 的決定性因素。 值得留意的是，Duffer 兄弟的「離巢」並不會影響他們在 Netflix 的既有作品。他們仍會參與籌備中的劇集，最重要的是，依舊負責《怪奇物語》最終季製作。同時，此舉亦讓他們與前 Netflix 高層 —— 當年力排眾議拍板《怪奇物語》的 Cindy Holland 及 Matt Thunell—— 再度聚首；二人現已坐鎮 Paramount 要職。 Matt 與 Ross Duffer 在聲明中表示：「能加入 Paramount 這個大家庭，我們興奮莫名。參與這項願景不只是刺激，更是實現畢生夢想；能在擁有深厚好萊塢傳統的片廠創作，意義非凡。我們也很高興能與好友 Cindy [Holland] 和 Matt [Thunell] 再度合作 —— 當年正是他們最先相信我們那份有點『另類』的小劇本，最終演變成Stranger Things。他們 2015 年曾為我們冒險，如今再度力挺 —— 我們已迫不及待要攜手寫下全新篇章。」此番合作為 Duffer 兄弟與 Paramount 開啟大膽新局，亦顯示後者正積極羅致頂尖創意人才，締造下一部文化現象級作品。

If Your Kid Loved 'KPop Demon Hunters,' Here are 8 More Movies to Watch
Fact checked by Sarah Scott My family first watched KPop Demon Hunters by accident this summer, at a beach house with some friends. I'm not sure if the popular Netflix movie was completely appropriate for my 4-year-old, but that did not stop her from falling in love with it. Now, when we're not listening to 'Golden' for the 11 millionth time, we're guessing how many HUNTR/X-inspired costumes we expect to see this Halloween, or telling her that yes, Rumi's purple braid is awesome but no, she's not quite old enough to dye her hair yet. As much as we all love (and love to love) this fun and flashy Buffy the Vampire Slayer-esque movie about Korean demon hunting pop stars and its incredible soundtrack, sometimes we all need to mix things up a little in the rotation of movies our kids want to watch. If it's time to change the channel (even just for a day or two), but your family loves KPop Demon Hunters, here are 8 more similar movies to watch next. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) No movie in recent memory handles the early teen years with as much tenderness and respect as this excellent Seth Rogan-produced film, which we also named one of the best movies of 2023. It follows the turtles as they emerge from the shelter of the sewers to try to become perfectly normal New York City teenagers. While some of the scary parts might be too scary for the very youngest movie-goer—like the parts when our crime-fighting friends are attacked by a hoards of mutants—the beautifully-animated film is only rated PG (same as Demon Hunters) and most kids who can handle the HUNTR/X plotline are ready for some Mutant mayhem. Where to watch: Paramount+ Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) For the KPop Demon Hunters fan who is a little too young for TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, Raya and The Last Dragon might be a better fit. A Disney film set in a fictional Southeast Asian country of Kumandra, this animated film features a brave warrior princess hoping to free her father from a curse, and the friendly dragon friend who helps her do battles with evil spirits, as well as a star-studded voice cast including Sandra Oh and Awkwafina. The movie also introduces young audiences to some of the culture, traditions, and cuisine of Southeast Asia. Where to watch: Disney+ Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) Anyone who has seen it will tell you that The Last Wish goes so much harder than it needed to. The film follows Puss in Boots as he attempts to retire from a life of adventure after finding out he's lost eight of his nine lives. But when he learns about the Wishing Star, he decides to track it down and wish for his lives back. It's a movie with staying power for kids and adults, but keep in mind that it's rated PG. Given that Death is stalking Puss in Boots in the form of a wolf before he can find the star, parents of young kids may want to be more cautious—that said, if they can handle the action in KPop Demon Hunters, they can handle this one, too. Where to watch: Peacock Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018) A refreshing take on the classic comic-inspired movie, this movie follows a Puerto Rican teenager living in New York City named Miles Morales. When Morales inherits Spider-Man's role as the city's hero, he meets other versions of Spider Beings that have accidentally dropped into his dimension, including Gwen Stacey, Spider-Man Noir, and Spider-Ham (yes, he is a pig). This gorgeous and much-acclaimed movie—the inventive animation, which was meant to closely mimic the look of a comic book, earned it the Best Animated Feature award at the 2018 Oscars—is an easy family movie night win, especially for those with tweens and young teens. No one will complain about taking a break from Rumi, Mira and Zoey—they'll be too busy watching Spidey, Spidey and Spidey. Where to Watch: Hulu Nimona (2023) Based on a graphic novel, Nimona—which follows a teenage shapeshifter on a fantastical journey full of surprises and twists — is darker in tone and music-forward. The setting also makes it one of the more original movies on this list: Nimona's world combines both medieval and futuristic elements. Nimona eventually teams up with Ballister Boldheart, a fugitive and disgraced knight, to help solve a murder. With comic-con vibes and a complex main character that defies simple characterization, teens and tweens will especially appreciate this story of unlikely friendship—that's why it's time to add Nimona to the top of your queue. Where to watch: Netflix Turning Red (2022) No movie has spoken to the tender tween years quite as directly as Pixar's 2022 film, Turning Red. Mei Lee lives with her protective mother in Toronto; she loves boy bands and has a crush on a convenience store clerk—and she discovers she has the ability to transform into a giant red panda. Mei, who is Chinese, inherited this trait as did all the other women in her family—including her mother, with whom she has a strained and tense relationship. The heart of the movie is not just Mei's struggle to adapt to this huge life change, it's also how she uses it as an opportunity to repair her relationship with her mom. Just as with Demon Hunters, music and fan culture is a huge part of this movie and the score includes an original song by Billie Eilish. Plus, filmmaker Domee Shi has said that classic anime like Sailor Moon heavily influenced the animation style. Where to Watch: Disney+ Over The Moon (2020) With some darker themes (a mother who passes away from an illness, grief, and loss) this family-focused movie is ultimately heart-warming and inspiring. Set in a Chinese village, the movie follows a little girl named Fei Fei who builds a rocketship so that she can fly to the moon in search of the moon goddess. The soundtrack also includes several pop-style songs your kids will be singing along to for months. Where to watch: Netflix Leo (2023) While there's no demon-fighting KPop stars in sight, Leo actually checks a lot of the same boxes as KPop Demon Hunters in that it's as entertaining for little kids as it is for older kids and tweens. Centered around a fifth grade classroom pet named Leo, an elderly lizard who can talk. Leo, whose only dream is to visit the Everglades, imparts his wisdom on the students who take him home each week. This sweet Adam Sandler film is a tender coming-of-age story.
