The 8 Best Series of May We’re Excited About

Have you finished all of our April recommendations? Get ready because some great series are set out to be released this May. We can’t decide whether to start with Bridgerton’s spin-off ‘Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story’ or the comedy ‘Platonic’. Luckily, there’s no rush, so scroll down for the whole list.

1. A Small Light

In A Small Light, we follow the story of Hermine ‘Miep’ Gies (Bel Powley), a Dutch secretary who helped hide Anne Frank (Billie Boullet) and her family from the Nazis during World War 2. After the raid of the family’s hiding place, Gies found one of the most famous diaries of all time: that of Anne Frank. She kept it safe for years. In the series, we see the resistant acts and heroism that Gies’ life consisted of.

‘A Small Light’ is coming to Disney+ and Hulu on May 1.

2. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story

Bridgerton fans are you ready for a prequel spin-off? In Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, we follow young Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifio) as she rises to fame through her marriage. Sparks are flying as we see the love story between Charlotte and King George of England (Corey Mylchreest). A heartwarming story and period costumes, what more could we ask for?

‘Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story’ is coming to Netflix on May 4.

3. Unicorn: Warriors Eternal

Adult Swim is back with the new cartoon Unicorn: Warriors Eternal created by Genndy Tartakovsky known for childhood classics like Dexter’s Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, and more. We follow a team of ancient heroes, Unicorn, who reawake in the bodies of teenagers and suffer from memory loss and weakened powers. These three heroes have to work together to protect the world from an evil force. We’re curious to see this new adult cartoon as it took almost 20 years to get made.

‘Unicorn: Warriors Eternal’ is coming to HBO Max on May 5.

4. City On Fire

In City On Fire, we follow along with the investigation into the murder of a young student named Samantha (Chase Sui Wonders) after she sets out to meet someone with the promise to return. The investigation proves to be more complicated as Samantha seems to be the connection between a series of fires, the downtown music scene, and a wealthy real estate family.

‘City On Fire’ is coming to Apple TV+ on May 12.

5. Mulligan

You may have thought about the following scenario: aliens attack our Earth, and you’re left with a disorganized group of survivors you have to rebuild society with. Well, that’s what Netflix’s new cartoon series Mulligan is all about. With the voices of Daniel Radcliffe, Tina Fey, Chrissy Teigen, and more. Will you make the right decisions this time around or make the same mistakes?

‘Mulligan’ is coming to Netflix on May 12.

6. Working: What We Do All Day

You may hear a familiar voice when you press play on the documentary series Working: What We Do All Day: that of Barack Obama. Together with the audience, the former US President discovers the meaning of work for modern-day Americans. Obama visits people from different work levels at their homes and workplaces to talk with them as they share experiences.

‘Working: What We Do All Day’ is coming to Netflix on May 17.

7. High Desert

In High Desert, we follow Peggy (Patricia Arquette) as she switches up her life after the death of her mother with whom she lived with in a small Californian desert town. Peggy was once an addict but decides on becoming a private investigator. Tune in to see whether or not she’ll turn out to be a successful PI.

‘High Desert’ is coming to Apple TV+ on May 17.

8. Platonic

Platonic is the series you want to watch if you’re looking for a good laugh. Two former childhood best friends rekindle their friendship as adults. Quickly, the friendship becomes all-consuming. With Australian actor Rose Byrne and Canadian actor Seth Rogen being the stars of this comedy, we’re guessing that this will be a hilarious series.

‘Platonic’ is coming to Apple TV+ on May 24.
