  "account": "Three new Paramount+ shows are perfect for binge-watching over the weekend of August 28-30. The first is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4, which premiered its sixth episode on Thursday. The show, a science fiction prequel, follows Christopher Pike, played by Anson Mount, as he leads the USS Enterprise on its five-year mission. Rated 86% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, this season continues the series' success and includes previously unseen characters and storylines. Next up is Average Joe season 2, a dark comedy-drama starring Deon Cole as an ordinary plumber whose father was once involved with the Russian mob. In season 2, Joe travels to Africa to uncover his father's secret past. Rated exceptionally well, this show comes from BET+, a network that has since merged with Paramount+. Finally, on Saturday morning at 6 a.m. ET, UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song takes place, featuring a highly anticipated bout between bantamweight champion Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong. Though live sports are not technically binge-worthy, this event is included in Paramount+'s live sports coverage, making it worth tuning in for sports fans.",
