A host of fan-favorite as well as underrated titles are all set to enter the content library of Paramount+ as part of the streaming service’s latest roster upheaval. Among the action thrillers and sci-fi classics that will join the Paramount Skydance-owned platform is a crime-themed black comedy that mostly went under the radar upon its release.
68 Kill will stream on Paramount+ next month
Paramount+ subscribers will be able to watch 2017’s 68 Kill on their preferred devices starting next month. Directed and written by Trent Haaga, the 95-minute high-octane comedy is currently on track to arrive at the shores of Paramount+ on February 4, 2026.
Released in 2017, 68 Kill centers around the misadventures of a dysfunctional couple, Chip and Liza. Deeply in love with his partner, Chip always remains at the beck and call of his girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Liza is the one who supports the duo financially by exchanging sexual favors with rich benefactors. Frustrated with her life as a prostitute, Liza decides to conduct a heist of $68,000 and manipulates Chip into helping her. However, things quickly go awry, and what started out as a simple robbery quickly gives way to a violent game of cat and mouse.
Criminal Minds’ Matthew Gray Gubler and AnnaLynne McCord of Nip/Tuck fame lead 68 Kill’s cast as Chip and Liza, respectively. The supporting lineup features the likes of Alisha Boe, Sheila Vand, Sam Eidson, Eric Podnar, Lucy Faust, Hallie Grace Bradley, James Moses Black, Ajay Mehta, Dave Maldonado, and Michael Beasley, among others.
Following its premiere in 2017, 68 Kill failed to garner much hype, establishing its place in the niche list of modern-day underrated black comedies. The movie earned a little over $135,000 from domestic video sales after a limited theatrical release, as per The Numbers. 68 Kill has also garnered a decent reception from reviewers and currently has a respectable critic score of 67% on Rotten Tomatoes.
