The summer movie season may be delayed this year – or even canceled – but the streaming services still seem to be treating May as the time to start trotting out blockbusters. The accomplished television creators Ryan Murphy, Greg Daniels, Loren Bouchard and Hannah Gadsby all have new projects arriving next month. And popular series like “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and “Homecoming” are returning. The end of the month will also bring the debut of HBO Max, a new service that will combine HBO’s existing content with original programming and a healthy assortment of titles from the WarnerMedia catalog.
Here are New York Times picks for the best new movies and TV series premiering in May, as well as a roundup of some other notable titles that’ll be available to stream. (Note: Streaming services occasionally change schedules without giving notice.)
