Everything coming to Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO Now in May

May is as good a month as any to dive into new fandoms. If you’re not already caught up with Game of Thrones, it’s still possible to block out the spoilers and binge all eight seasons before the finale airs on May 19th. Not only is HBO pulling out all the stops in what should be an epic battle, it’s also giving fans one last farewell in Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, which airs on May 26th.

But there’s more to life than Game of Thrones. For people who’ve spent years avoiding it — or have watched it all and are looking for something new on HBO — May sees the premiere of Chernobyl, a five-part dramatization of the 1986 nuclear accident. Based on first-person accounts, government reports and books, and interviews, Chernobyl promises to be a realistic portrayal of a horrific event, one of the worst man-made disasters in history.

Other highlights for this month: the adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s beloved novel Good Omens is coming to Amazon Prime Video. The plot summary is great: an angel and a demon must work together to stop the world from ending, but they’ve lost the Antichrist, who’s an 11-year-old boy. David Tennant, Jon Hamm, Frances McDormand, and Nick Offerman star in it. Is it typecasting at this point to feature Tennant as a demon?

The Punisher and the 2008 movie Punisher: War Zone are arriving on Hulu and Amazon, in case you haven’t already caught the series on Netflix, but be warned, people consider it quite the slog. For a more entertaining slice of heroism, My Hero Academia’s third season is premiering on Hulu. It’s the tale of a young kid who’s always wanted to be a hero, but had absolutely no powers to speak of. Somehow, he meets his hero, who tells him that maybe things aren’t as bleak as they seem. Like other lighthearted superhero anime, it’s sometimes sappy, sometimes slapstick comedy.
