Paramount+ has debuted “Peak Romance,” a new seasonal collection featuring more than 200 romance-themed movies and seasonal series episodes.
Released in time for Valentine’s Day, the library includes a curated assortment of love stories spanning from tales of modern love and popular rom-coms to nostalgic ’90s films and twisted romances.
The upcoming new rom-com At Midnight, premiering exclusively on Paramount+ Feb. 10, will join the collection as well as a special Valentine’s Day episode of “Ghosts” Feb. 16.
At Midnight centers on Alejandro (Diego Boneta, Father of the Bride), a hotel manager, and Sophie (Monica Barbaro, Top Gun: Maverick), a movie star. He’s focused on opening his own hotel; she’s trying to concentrate on her new superhero film. When Sophie catches her co-star and boyfriend (Anders Holm) cheating, fate strikes when the shoot brings them all to Alejandro’s hotel in Mexico. Despite their radically different lives, Alejandro and Sophie begin to secretly meet at midnight.
The romantic episode of the CBS Original series “Ghosts” is called “A Date to Remember.” In the episode, Sam and Jay help Thorfinn create a perfect first date with Flower.
