A full list of what to watch on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Paramount+, Apple TV, and Peacock in May 2026.
After one of the biggest months for new and returning TV shows in recent memory, the list of new streaming titles debuting in May is a little bit quieter than usual. For those of us struggling to keep up, it’s a welcome relief.
HBO probably assumes you’re still busy catching up on “Hacks” and “Euphoria,” so the streamer’s biggest title in May is the new “Wuthering Heights” movie starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi
Netflix is also focusing more on movies and specials in May, bringing us the film adaptation of the hit novel “Remarkably Bright Creatures” (May 8), the body-swap comedy “Ladies First” (May 22), and a slew of comedy from the Netflix is a Joke Festival, including a live roast of Kevin Hart (May 10).

The best new TV shows, ranked
At the end of the month, Netflix does give us the second season of the Tina Fey dramedy “The Four Seasons” (May 28). It’s unclear how much (if at all) Steve Carell will be involved this go-around, given what happened in Season 1.
Prime Video has a few fun titles this month, including the second season of “Citadel” (May 6), the return of John Krasinski in the clumsily titled movie “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War” (May 20), and Nicolas Cage voicing the hero of the Spider-Man-adjacent series “Spider-Noir” (May 27).
Below you’ll find a full list of what’s new in May 2026 on eight of the most popular streaming services in America: Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV, Peacock, and Paramount+.
