Only two weeks passed before it finally starts looking up for May 2026 on the world’s top streaming services.
In fact, after the recent dearth of new movies and TV shows, we’ve been treated to something of a deluge over the past few days. By my count, there have been 21 (!) new releases – and while it would be fun to include them all in our latest streaming roundup, we’ve stuck to the usual format and compiled a list of the week’s seven biggest.
So read on to find out what made it another TV series-heavy edition of our ‘must see’ list — Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter
The Punisher: One Last Kill (Disney+)
Look at
“One batch, two batch, penny and dime…”. It’s about time The Punisher was the star of his own Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) project – and that time is now.
The latest MCU character to get Disney+ TV special treatment, The Punisher: One Last Kill reunites us with the titular anti-hero after his prison break Daredevil: Born Again‘s season 1 finale. To judge by One last kill‘s trailer — and its subtitle — we’ll see Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle embark on another personal crusade to deal with another person who also wants him dead.
Have you already seen this Marvel Phase 6 Special presentation and want to know how it affects the immediate future of the MCU? My The Punisher: One Last Kill concluding explained article should be your next port of call. — TP
Devil May Cry Season 2 (Netflix)
Look at
Devil May Cry‘s animated adaptation was a huge hit for Netflix, and now it’s back and bigger than ever with its sequel season.
Devil May Cry season 2 wastes no time in throwing us right into the action. Here we see Dante and Vergil’s expected reunion, with their conflict making up much of the story. Dante already has his hands full trying to prevent Hell on Earth from literally happening without all the family drama, but hey, it’s exciting for us to watch.
Those hoping for more 2000s nostalgia will also be delighted, as there’s a brand new soundtrack featuring rock legends like Papa Roach and Amy Lee of Evanescence. It is without a doubt one of the coolest shows streaming right now. — Lucy Buglass, Senior Entertainment Writer
Off Campus (Prime Video)
Look at
The moment the critics said it Off Campus was less like Heated rivalry and more like “frat bro Bridgerton,” I was all in. Based on the hit books by Elle Kennedy, this Amazon TV Original follows an elite ice hockey team and the women in their lives as they struggle with love, heartbreak and self-discovery.
It’s the perfect balance of raunchy and wholesome that Prime Video keeps finding in its young adult dramas, meaning it’s perfect for fans of The summer I became beautiful and Maxton Hall.
What’s more, Off Campus has already been renewed for Season 2, so it’s worth investing in this hot and heavy eight-episode binge. — Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter
Dutton Ranch (Paramount+)
Look at
Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler are back, baby! Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch follows the couple’s move to Texas and take over a small ranch that directly competes with 10 Petal, aka the local town’s cattle empire, run by Beulah Jackson, a woman Beth aptly describes as a “grizzly in Gucci.” Not only do the couple move in, but the more Beth and Rip settle into Texan life, the more problems they uncover.
A cross between Farmer and Madison in tone, Dutton Ranch does not neglect it entirely Yellowstone roots – watch out for some blatant John Dutton references in episode 1 onwards. Before you dive in, read my Dutton Ranch review too. –— JV
The Testament of Ann Lee (Disney+)
Look at
Following its Hulu release earlier this year, this Amanda Seyfried-led historical musical drama is now available internationally on Disney+.
In it, Seyfried plays the titular character, who was the founding leader of the Shaker religious sect in the 18th century. Lee’s religious movement focused on communal living, celibacy, gender equality and functional, simple furniture. Singing and dancing were a big part of their meetings, which means this film is the perfect way to portray Lee’s life and the religious beliefs she shared with others.
Based on its 86% Rotten Tomatoes audience score, it seems viewers have been charmed by Ann Lee’s story. Maybe you will too? — LB
On the Roam Season 2 (HBO Max)
Look at
Have you ever wanted to go on a road trip with Jason Momoa? Now you can. After a two-year hiatus, the star is back on the road again via his HBO Max docuseries On Roam.
Like last time, Momoa takes a break from making movies to meet a new cast of artists and creatives, getting an in-depth look at their process and asking plenty of questions.
This season we will see Momoa meet with Julian Schnabel, director of Basquiatpunk rock band The Bobby Lees and Metallica legend Kirk Hammett. Episodes come out every Thursday, making it something to look forward to every week. — LB
Rivals Season 2 (Hulu/Disney+)
Look at
You know what we’re missing from this lineup? An old school bonkbuster. Fortunately, Rivals season 2 is ready to fill the gap. However, our Rutshire ensemble’s collective lasciviousness has turned somewhat sour.
Cameron is lying low after being convinced she killed her boss Tony after she hit him with a TV award in self-defence. Meanwhile, Lizzie and Freddie desperately try to hide their feelings for each other, and Sarah tries to climb the ranks at Tony’s Corinium TV station.
It’s all a little less steamy, but the stakes continue to be raised. We only have the first three episodes (read min Rivals season 2 review them while you’re here) to stream at this point, so keep your eyes peeled for the rest later this year. — JV
