What to watch in May on Disney+, Netflix and more

Looking for some new shows to binge-watch this month? Get your popcorn ready because your favourite streaming platforms have just released a slew of new shows and films for you to watch over the weekend. From Disney+ to Netflix, as well as Max and Viu, ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the most exciting titles that will be rolling out this May. 

Nine Puzzles

Play

If you’re into moody thrillers, this one’s worth adding to your queue. Nine Puzzles kicks off with Yoon E-na, who, as a teen, witnessed her uncle’s murder—but couldn’t explain why she was even there, which made her a prime suspect. Fast forward ten years, and she’s now a criminal profiler, still haunted by the past. When a string of new murders starts surfacing—each tied to a mysterious puzzle piece like the one found with her uncle’s body—E-na finds herself pulled back in. To solve the case, she has to work with Detective Kim Han-saem, who, awkwardly, once thought she was guilty. 

Nine Puzzles is available on Disney+ from 21 May

A Complete Unknown

Play

Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan? Say less. A Complete Unknown takes us back to 1961, when a 19-year-old Dylan—still a complete mystery to the world—arrives in New York City with nothing but a guitar and a wild sense of purpose. The series traces his early days navigating the folk scene, crossing paths with musical legends, and slowly carving out the sound that would change everything. With Elle Fanning in the mix and a soundtrack that hits all the right nostalgic notes, this one’s a must-watch if you’re into coming-of-age stories, music history, and that irresistible NYC grit.

A Complete Unknown is available on Disney+ from 21 May

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2

Play

A lot has gone down since Season 1 dropped on Disney+, and if you were anywhere near TikTok, chances are you’ve been following the chaos unfold in real time. Season 2 picks up right where the drama left off—messier, juicier, and somehow even more chaotic.

One of the original swingers from that headline-making scandal is back, and their return threatens to blow the whole thing wide open. Friendships are tested, secrets are on the verge of being exposed, and let’s just say… the sisterhood might not survive it.

Set in 1988 at Shadyside High (yes, that Shadyside), this campy, creepy teen thriller kicks off with prom preparations and the usual drama—until the race for Prom Queen takes a dark turn. The reigning “It Girls” are pulling out all the stops to win votes, but when an unexpected nominee enters the mix, things get weird… fast. One by one, the other candidates start to disappear without a trace.

The Last of Us

Play

It’s finally here—and yes, it’s every bit as intense as we hoped. Season 2 of The Last of Us picks up five years after the heartbreak of Season 1. Joel and Ellie are older, tougher, and carrying the weight of everything they’ve been through—but the past has a way of resurfacing. Now, the shadows of their shared past return to haunt them—pulling Joel and Ellie into tension not just with the world around them, but with each other, in a landscape that’s only grown more ruthless and unpredictable.

And Just Like That... (Season 3)

The girls are back—and yes, the chaos continues. Season 3 of And Just Like That... sees Carrie dipping her toes into fiction writing (a “romantasy” novel, no less) while figuring out how to make long-distance love work with Aidan. Miranda is juggling career changes and maybe a new love interest, and Charlotte is deep in the throes of parenting teens. Meanwhile, Seema’s dating again, and we’re getting a fresh mix of new characters and storylines that keep the world of Sex and the City feeling modern, messy, and still totally binge-worthy.

The Haunted Palace

Play

Yun-gap, a well-respected and strikingly handsome government official, finds his life turned upside down when he becomes possessed by an Imoogi—a mythical serpent spirit. Whispers begin circulating that he’s gone mad. The Imoogi’s fate is inexplicably tied to Yeo-ri, the only granddaughter of a famed shaman, who once had a crush on Yun-gap. Though she was born with a spiritual gift, Yeo-ri has turned her back on that destiny and now works as a glassmith. 

When the Imoogi seeks to use her body to ascend to Heaven, she refuses—and steps into the palace to confront it. There, she discovers the royal grounds are haunted by vengeful female spirits, harbouring deep grudges against the royal family. As these supernatural forces stir, reformist King Yi-seong —determined to build a stronger Joseon—finds himself facing the palace’s darkest secrets. Together, Yun-gap, Yeo-ri, and the king must unearth the truth behind the haunting before it’s too late.
