Movies And Series Coming This May.
This list is for titles available in the United States. Only apologize to our international viewers. Check your local listings to find out what you can get and enjoy the metric system and probably better health care.
Netflix
First up, let's do Netflix on the fourth part two of Selena of the series premiers concluding the limited biopic show following the life of the Tejano singer-songwriter, and well, season two will explore her rise to stardom. It shouldn't be a surprise that it won't have a happy ending. On May 7th, Jupiter's Legacy. It taps Mark Miller's hit comedy about a dysfunctional family of superheroes. It's just like The Incredibles, but with more disappointment and resentment and substance abuse and so on.
On the 13th, Castlevania returns to whip a little more vampire ass before Netflix puts a stake in the series. What is Netflix but a meaningless pile of canceled shows? But on the bright side, on the 14th season, two of Love, Death, and Robots promises another rogue's gallery of cool slash, sexy, weird, mature animated shorts that feature love, death, and or robots or maybe none of the above. Also on the 14th, the woman in the window finally premieres.
The adaptation of the Best-Selling mystery novel was slated for a 2019 theatrical release, but got delayed for edits and then delayed a bunch more because of covid. And now it's finally coming to Netflix on May 21. Zack Snyder shifts gears from superheroes frowning in slow motion to a bank heist with zombies, an army of the dead, which promises to have Dave Batiste fighting a zombie tiger Hellyeah précis.
He's a goddamn zombie tiger on the 27th Eden premiere is an original animal from the director of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, set in the future so distant that robots are the dominant species and humans are but a myth, except they're real. And one of them is in the anime. Sometime in May, we can expect season three of Master of None, which promises to focus on Linowitz's character. And then there's Hulston, the miniseries about 1970s fashion designers starring Ewan McGregor.
We don't have hard release dates for those. Even Edan Zero is another new anime series involving robots from the creator of Fairy Tale. And if Jupiter's legacy is too depressing, there's always the original movie Thunder Forest, featuring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer as childhood best friends who become superheroes as adults.
The hell are you? You'd think cancer, but Capricorn actually says moon and all kinds of things rising.
Hulu
That's stuff. All right. Onto Hulu. On the 5, you can check out the 2020 movie Shadow in the Cloud set in World War Two following the crew of a plane carrying important documents who encounter something evil on board. Is it gremlins?
On May 13th, the 2020 film S. is available another twenty for indie art house Supernatural Horror that hit some similar notes to Hereditary and the Witch. And if you don't have Hulu, that also hits Amazon Prime video the same day on May 21st. Catch the WHO original Stop Motion animated series of Marvel's MODOK, starring Patton Oswalt as the eponymous Mentals mobile mechanize organism designed only for killing, but who also has to juggle the responsibilities of his day job and family life in addition to killing. This should be fun.
And on the 29th, there's the vigil, which is another indie supernatural horror, but this one centered around a funeral and Orthodox Judaism are their demons possibly.
And here are a couple we missed last month. If you and Criminal Intent are too scatterbrained and messy for you, Law and Order Organized Crime premiered, which focuses on catching very tidy murderers who put everything at right angles and love to shop at the Container Store. I'm kidding. It's about gangs. And there's also a three-part documentary series about Sasquatch, but also pot farms and murder.
HBO MAX
Meanwhile, over on HBO MAX, you can catch Tennet starting on the 1st, which offers several features that were unavailable during its theatrical run, including subtitles that allow you to actually understand what the characters are saying and the option to watch the entire film on your phone. Just to spite Christopher Nolan, who loves that big screen experience, Wonder Woman, 1984 is also back on HBO.
If you missed it over the holidays or you're just a glutton for punishment or you want to see that part where she's swinging around in the clouds with her lasso, that was kind of cool on the 14th, the neo-Western survival thriller, Those Who Wish Me Dead premieres with Angelina Jolie as a park ranger fending off assassins and also a forest fire. What could go wrong? Part one of the Victorian superhero drama The Nevers has its finale on the 16th and on the 20th.
Jake the dog and Fin the human will be reunited in the newest adventure time Distant Lands special, appropriately dubbed together again. Speaking of colorful and trippy animated kids' shows that get surprisingly real and emotionally resonant for adults, last month, Infinity Train began slowing to a halt for its last stop with Book four, which will be its final season. So go catch that if you haven't already.
Disney Plus
And after we're famous in Canada, we will become rock stars and play. See, I was going to be great. Oh, yeah, over on Disney plus concluded the Clone Wars has. But buckle up for some more Buckethead action with Star Wars, the bad batch, which follows the adventures of Clone Force 99, that squad of irregular troopers who each have a particular set of skills.
Then on the 28th for an additional charge, you can get premier access to Cruella at the live-action origin story of 101 Dalmatians, bad guy and PETA enemy number one, Cruella De Vil, which presumably follows her earlier exploits of only trying to murder litters of animals in the low dozens to make a coat.
Life is like a hurricane, and last month we forgot to tell you about Ducktails season three, so make it like a race car, laser, and or airplane and go check that out ASAP.
Amazon Prime
Over on Amazon Prime video, you can also catch
St. Maude starting on the 13th, as previously mentioned. And on the
14th, the limited series,
the Underground Railroad premieres based
on the Pulitzer Award-winning historical fiction novel, which takes place in an alternate reality where the network of safe
houses and escape routes that help slaves escape in the hundreds is
reimagined as a literal subterranean train line. On the
21st seven-part anthology series, Solo's premieres, which has a
star-studded cast that includes Morgan Freeman,
Helen Mirren, Anne Hathaway, Anthony Mackie, Constance Wu, and Dan Stevens,
to name a few and an extremely nebulous description that claims it explores
the deeper meaning of human connection through the lens of the individual
and different perspectives and points in time, and that even during our most
isolated and disparate moments, we're connected through the human
experience.
But it also might involve artificial intelligence, illegal memory transplants, and time travel, according to Amazon. So I guess it's like a black mirror, but they're trying to win an Oscar. Then on the 28th, Panic is a live-action young adult drama series set in a town where recent high school graduates compete in a series of deadly challenges to win a bunch of money so they can escape poverty, which sounds slightly more fun and less dystopian than applying for financial aid and scholarships to pay for college, only to wind up resorting to student loans that result in mountains of debt.
And finally, because we missed it. Last month, Amazon Prime finally got season one of Creepshow, the Shutter original series continuing the tradition of the classic George Romero Stephen King anthology film. And there you have it.
That is our big fat list of streaming releases for May 20 21. Of course, these are just a few choice selections. There's a lot of streaming stuff out there. So let us know in the comments what we left out and what you're watching, as well as what you're looking forward to for June and for everything, entertainment, streaming, or otherwise. You're already in the right place again. See you next time.
