22. Perfect Match, Season 4
This reality show is for all the shippers out there. Nick Lachey hosts a collection of love-seeking singles who have one other thing in common: They've all appeared in a reality TV show before. That could means you'll see familiar faces (and abs) from Age of Attraction, Temptation Island, Married at First Sight, Too Hot To Handle, Love Is Blind, and more seeking a new romance.
But this season, Perfect Match promises to shake it up with new twists and challenges. So, who'll hook up? Who'll mess up? And who will win the big prize of a romantic vacation together? — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor
21. Driver's Ed
Bobby Farrelly, the wild mind behind There's Something about Mary and Dumb and Dumber, is back with a teen comedy about a student driver on a reckless quest for love.
White Lotus' Sam Nivola stars as a high schooler who's supposed to take on a simple driving lesson with an instructor (Kumail Nanjiani). But fretful that his girlfriend — who's now a college freshman — might leave him in her rearview, he steals this student driver vehicle with his friends coming along for the ride. If the trailer wasn't enough to suggest this comedy gets outrageous, Farrelly's reputation should seal the deal. — K.P.
Starring: Sam Nivola, Sophie Telegadis, Mohana Krishnan, Aidan Laprete, Molly Shannon, and Kumail Nanjiani
How to watch: Driver's Ed opens in theaters and On Demand on May 15.
20. The Wonderfools
Superheroes usually struggle with their abilities on first receiving them, and South Korean superhero comedy The Wonderfools takes the idea to the extreme. Created by Kang Eun-kyung (Dr. Romantic), directed by Yoo In-sik (Extraordinary Attorney Woo), and written by Heo Da-joong (Extreme Job), this '90s-set series follows a group of newly superpowered people who haven't quite got the hang of their talents. Teleporting through time and space, superstrength, and telekinesis aren't easily mastered skills, you know? But considering there's a sinister secret project that has people disappearing all over the place, these newly minted superheroes had better figure it out. — Shannon Connellan, Senior Editor
Starring: Park Eun-bin, Cha Eun-woo, Kim Hae-sook, Choi Dae-hoon, Im Seong-jae, and Son Hyun-joo
How to watch: The Wonderfools debuts on Netflix on May 15.

Starring: Lisa Ann Walter
How to watch: Lisa Ann Walter: It Was an Accident debuts on Hulu on May 15.
17. Something Is About to Happen
It may not be the most inventive movie title in the world, but Something is about to Happen certainly doesn't look like a cliché from the trailer. Antonio Méndez Esparza's drama/thriller follows Lucía (Malena Alterio), a programmer-turned-taxi driver who tries to track down a neighbor she struck up a relationship with — before he disappeared. This one looks tricky to pin down genre-wise, and the trailer opens more questions than answers. Is something about to happen? You'll have to watch to find out. — Sam Haysom, General Assignment Editor, UK
Starring: Malena Alterio, Aitana Sánchez Gijón, Rodrigo Poisón, José Luis Torrijo, Manuel de Blas, Mariona Ribas, Mariano Llorente, Iñigo de la Iglesia, and Federico Pérez Rey
How to watch: Something Is About to Happen debuts on Shudder on May 15.

The show launches with a murder mystery about a brassy older woman found dead in her garage. While there's a gun nearby, she wasn't shot. So what went down? And whodunnit? Cumming's smooth-as-silk voiceover will be your guide across a case that's sure to chill your spine. — K.P.

When he's not starring in movies like Fast X and The Minecraft Movie, he's seeing the world one motorcycle ride at a time. This travel docuseries follows Momoa as he seeks adventure, art, and friendship.
"I have all these crazy dreams," Momoa says in the Season 2 trailer for On the Roam, "to actually make them happen with the people who inspire me? It's a beautiful journey." And you can ride along when On the Roam returns to HBO Max. — K.P.
Starring: Jason Momoa
How to watch: On the Roam, Season 2 is now streaming on HBO Max.
13. Money Heist: Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine
Netflix's mighty Money Heist franchise always has another target, with creators Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato back with another spinoff. Pedro Alonso's character, Berlín, leads yet another escapade, this time in Seville, Spain. And folks, this one's for the art history nerds. If the title didn't tip you off, the loot is Leonardo da Vinci's 15th-century masterpiece Lady with an Ermine. The conniving Duke of Malaga has his sights set on the famous Renaissance portrait, and Berlín knows just the heist experts to retrieve it. — S.C.
Starring: Pedro Alonso, Michelle Jenner, Tristán Ulloa, Begoña Vargas, Julio Peña Fernández, Joel Sánchez, and Inma Cuesta
How to watch: Money Heist: Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine debuts on Netflix on May 15.
12. Faces of Death
The absolute nightmare that is content moderation lies at the heart of Faces of Death, the Barbie Ferreira–starring horror that feels way too real. It's inspired by the 1978 VHS exploitation film or "video nasty" of the same name, which had people unsure whether the extreme violence on screen was real or not. It was banned in several countries — you should really watch British horror film Censor to understand this era of film vetting — but it turns up on the shelf of a character in Daniel Goldhaber's new film.
But now, we're in 2026, the age of the internet. The Euphoria star plays Margot, who works not at a movie censorship body but a social media company like TikTok or YouTube. Alongside co-workers (like one played by constant movie star Charli XCX), Margot is part of the department where content is screened against community guidelines and either blocked or left up to feed the attention economy. However, some of those violent videos look super-real, and influencers are going missing... — S.C.
Starring: Barbie Ferreira, Charli XCX, Jermaine Fowler, Aaron Holliday, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah
How to watch: Faces of Death is available to rent or buy on Prime Video.
11. Devil May Cry, Season 2
One of the better video game adaptations out there, Netflix's Devil May Cry ended in brutal, bloody chaos for Season 1. Hideki Kamiya's beloved Capcom game series got the animation treatment it deserved from South Korea's Studio Mir (the team behind The Legend of Korra and The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep), with Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix showrunner Adi Shankar and Yasuke writer Alex Larsen. Johnny Yong Bosch (who voices Nero in the games) is back again for Season 2 voicing demon-hunting, wise-cracking, sundae-loving protagonist Dante — and his family reunion has turned into a war of the worlds. It's brother against brother, and it's not going to be understated. — S.C.
Starring: Johnny Yong Bosch, Scout Taylor-Compton, Hoon Lee, Chris Coppola, and Kevin Conroy
How to watch: Devil May Cry, Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
10. The A List
What does it mean to be Asian or Pacific Islander in America today? HBO's new documentary The A List weaves personal stories from actors, journalists, activists, entrepreneurs, politicians, scientists, athletes, and more from Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities in the U.S. Directed by Eugene Yi (The Rose: Come Back to Me), the doc speaks to 15 people — from famous faces like Sandra Oh, Bowen Yang, Kumail Nanjiani, and Tammy Duckworth to pioneers like Connie Chung, Schuyler Bailar, Amanda Nguyen, and Haroon Mokhtarzada — to explore identity, community, prejudice, and resilience. — S.C.
Starring: Sandra Oh, Yia Vang, Amanda Nguyen, DJ Rekha, Connie Chung, Schuyler Bailar, Kumail Nanjiani, Madelyn Yu, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Bowen Yang, Manny Crisostomo, Nergis Mavalvala, Kathy Masaoka, and Cliff Kapono
How to watch: The A List is now streaming on HBO Max.
9. Nemesis
Folks, it's a heist series! We love a heist: rogue mastermind versus the law, niche skills against high security, inevitable montages. In Netflix's Nemesis, Power Universe creator Courtney A. Kemp presents a Los Angeles–set crime caper with co-creator Tani Marole and pioneering New Jack City director Mario Van Peebles. Insecure's Y’lan Noel plays a master thief the LAPD hasn't been able to catch; Abbott Elementary's Matthew Law plays the hard-boiled detective who lost his partner thanks to the elusive mastermind. What's that? It's time for…one last job? Involving a colossal diamond haul? Let's absolutely go.* — S.C.
Starring: Matthew Law, Y'lan Noel, Cleopatra Coleman, Tre Hale, Domenick Lombardozzi, Jonnie Park, Ariana Guerra, Gabrielle Dennis, Michael Potts, Sophina Brown, Cedric Joe, and Jeff Pierre
How to watch: Nemesis premieres May 14 on Netflix.
8. Tucci in Italy, Season 2
Stanley Tucci believes that "the best way to understand what makes a country and its people unique is through its food." And that especially rings true for the Devil Wears Prada 2 star and TikTok fav where his roots run deep, Italy. It's where Tucci has been exploring, tasting, and sharing local fare in his popular series Tucci in Italy. And in Season 2, Tucci takes viewers through even more diverse culinary staples of Italian regions including Naples and Campania, Sicily, Le Marche, Sardinia, and Veneto. Tucci's signature elegance, charisma, and curiosity makes each episode a treat, at once a foodie's dream and comprehensive history lesson. Chefs, pastai (master pasta makers), journalists, and longtime locals reflect on how each dish connects with a specific sense of Italian identity. Utter food and travel documentary bliss. — S.C.
Starring: Stanley Tucci
How to watch: Tucci in Italy, Season 2 is now on Hulu and Disney+.
7. The Punisher: One Last Kill
The last we saw The MCU's Punisher, he'd come to the end of his vengeance thread. The Punisher: One Last Kill begins with him tearing down his yarn wall. So what's next? Well, ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, there's plenty more brooding and blood.
This one-hour special TV presentation offers grim violence and slaughter scenes that demand a TV-MA rating. Fans of Jon Bernthal's run as Frank Castle will likely relish the barrage of brutal brawls that pepper this special.
The Punisher: Last Kill could be intended as a refresher — or maybe even introduction — for fans who don't plan to binge The Punisher series ahead of Bernthal's appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. But watching director Reinaldo Marcus Green's vision of Castle's New York, which is marked with random acts of violence, fire, and much blood, it's hard to imagine how this curb-stomping antihero will fit into the PG-13 world of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. — K.P.
Starring: Jon Bernthal, Jason R. Moore
How to watch: The Punisher: One Last Kill is now on Disney+.
6. The Crash
Be warned: This one is a hate watch. No shade to documentary director Gareth Johnson, who's helmed episodes of The Body Next Door, Locked Up Abroad, See No Evil, and Bear Grylls: Escape From Hell. But based on how Netflix subscribers reacted to Should I Marry a Murderer?, a true crime doc that presented the personal account of a witness who was anything but perfect, I suspect a strong reaction to Mackenzie Shirilla.
At 17, Shirilla survived a deadly car crash that took the life of her boyfriend Dominic "Dom" Russo and their friend Davion Flanagan. What at first seemed a tragic accident became a public scandal as the Ohio police force arrested Shirilla on murder charges. Did she crash the car on purpose? Interviews with the families of the departed young men bring a bracing emotional depth to this doc, painting a portrait of who they lost. From there, The Crash looks into the evidence of surveillance footage, text messages, and reports from the car's log. But the most shocking bits come from their jailhouse interview with Shirilla, who's been criticized online for her social media behavior after the crash. Can she explain herself? Well, she sure does try. — K.P.
How to watch: The Crash begins streaming on Netflix on May 15.
5. Off Campus
Can't get enough hockey romance after Heated Rivalry? Then hit the ice with Off Campus, a college drama based on the popular series by Elle Kennedy. The series brings viewers to Briar University, where aspiring songwriter Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) and hockey star Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli) are about to strike up an intriguing deal: If she tutors him, he'll pretend to date her in order to draw the eye of her crush Justin Kohl (Josh Heuston). Of course, if you're familiar with the fake dating trope, you know that these fake feelings are about to turn very real, very fast.
What follows is a fun, if formulaic, romance that still manages to take great care with its protagonists' heavy emotional baggage. As I wrote in my review, "Does Off Campus break any new ground? No, not really. However, it's sweet, oodles of fun, and proves that there's still more room on the ice for hockey romance on TV." — B.E.
Starring: Ella Bright, Belmont Cameli, Mika Abdalla, Antonio Cipriano, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Josh Heuston, and Stephen Kalyn
How to watch: Off Campus is now streaming on Prime Video.
4. Rivals, Season 2
Pop the champers, spray the Aquanet, and dollop out the trout mousse! Rivals is back for more shoulder-padded sauciness and scandal in the English countryside. The late Dame Jilly Cooper's beloved '80s Rutshire Chronicles novels inspired one of the best British TV shows of 2024, adapted by Dominic Treadwell-Collins and Laura Wade. In Season 2, the aristocratic residents of the Cotswolds find themselves in even more steamy entanglements and vendettas than the first season, with the core rivalry — Tory politician Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) versus TV mogul Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) — upping the ante. With local elections, adulterous trysts, and backstabbing broadcasters afoot, Season 2 of Rivals is just as riotous as the first. — S.C.
Starring: Alex Hassell, Nafessa Williams, Bella Maclean, Katherine Parkinson, Danny Dyer, Victoria Smurfit, Oliver Chris, Emily Atack, Rufus Jones, Lisa McGrillis, Claire Rushbrook, Aidan Turner, and David Tennant
How to watch: Rivals, Season 2's first three episodes premiere on Huly on May 15.
3. Marty, Life Is Short
If you love Only Murders in the Building, Father of the Bride, The Three Amigos, or understand the undeniable splendor of Clifford, you'll want to see Marty, Life Is Short.
A documentary from director Lawrence Kasdan, this new to Netflix release gives a solid look into the Canadian comedian's life and career in under two hours. He'll touch on the tragic deaths he endured in his youth, his initial reluctance to get into comedy, his foundational time in Godspell, his doubts about Saturday Night Live, and much, much more. It's a terrific watch to understand the inner workings of such a brilliant and bold comedic talent. Plus, there's footage of Short sharing a laugh with his long-time friend and colleague, the late Catherine O'Hara.
And if you want more, I'd recommend his book I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend, which offers Short's life story in his own words — along with chapters written in the voice of his most popular characters, like Ed Grimley and Jiminy Glick. To that end, I really recommend the audio book version, performed by Short himself. — K.P.
Starring: Martin Short, Tom Hanks, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, Steve Martin, and John Mulaney
How to watch: Marty, Life is Short is now streaming on Netflix.
2. The Christophers
Don't overlook this touching tale of art and friendship from director Stephen Soderbergh.
Written by Ed Solomon (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure), The Christophers centers around Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen), a London painter once renowned for his work and withering wit. Now in his 80s, he's not touched a brush in three decades, much to the chagrin of his money-grubbing children (James Corden and Jessica Gunning). So they hatch a plan to bring in an art restorer to forge a series of paintings that they can sell for millions once he's died. Once a huge admirer of his work, Lori Butler (Michaela Coel) seems a perfect pick. But what no one could predict is how this curmudgeonly has-been and this guarded never-was will find common ground that sparks new creation.
This may sound a bit dry. But in the hands of Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel, The Christophers is alive and captivating. McKellen brings a bawdy bluster to his bloviating and arrogant cad, while Coel offers a reflective stillness, punctuated by precise line delivery. Together, they create a portrait of heartache and hope that is absolutely stunning. — K.P.
Starring: Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning, and James Corden
How to watch: The Christophers is now available for purchase on Prime Video.
Best of streaming this week: Project Hail Mary
Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! You can now watch sci-fi crowdpleaser Project Hail Mary at home. Based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary imagines a terrifying scenario: Earth's sun is dimming, and we have one last-ditch hope at figuring out how to save it. That hope is Dr. Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), a science teacher stranded alone in space. Alone, that is, until he meets Rocky (voiced and puppeted by James Ortiz), everyone's new favorite movie alien.
That encounter kicks off the heartwarming bromance that fuels the rest of Project Hail Mary, which bursts with humor, apocalyptic drama, and riveting spacewalks. As Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko wrote in her review, "Imagine The Martian meets Half Nelson meets E.T., and you'll get some idea of the mirthful mash-up that is Project Hail Mary." — B.E.
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub, and James Ortiz
How to watch: Project Hail Mary is now available for purchase on Fandango at Home.
