New on Peacock in May 2026: All the new shows and movies to watch

Summer is finally in view, and as usual, things are starting to heat up on the streaming front. Peacock has your back if you’re looking for some seriously great options this May. From explosive reality finales to gritty new crime sagas, there is plenty of reason to keep the AC running and settle in for a binge-watch.

The month kicks off with a dose of high-stakes drama as “Love Island: Beyond the Villa” closes out its second season on May 6. This is your last chance to “dance” with the islanders as they navigate life outside the villa in an explosive bookend to the series. If you prefer your drama with a darker edge, revenge is on the menu in “M.I.A.”, a new crime thriller premiering May 7. Starring Shannon Gisela as Etta, the series follows a woman picking up the remnants of her family’s shattered drug-running operation as she seeks to eliminate the men responsible for ruining her way of life.
