May showers bring June flowers and also, lots of streaming content. Welcome to io9's latest edition of the Nerd’s Watch, where we pare down the enormous lists of new films and television shows arriving on all your favorite streaming services into the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror titles we think you’ll like most. (And sometimes, just the ones that we like most.)
As always, we’re including the best new films and TV coming to Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Disney+, and Max—as well as Paramount+, Shudder, and Peacock, including several new releases.
Here’s the best of what’s streaming in May 2024. If you’re only interested in the services you subscribe to, you can jump directly to that page with these links:
