Showmax in May: 13 unmissable series premieres to stream now

May is shaping up to be a stellar month for series lovers, with fresh premieres, gripping dramas, and feel-good stories landing on Showmax. Whether you’re in the mood for true crime, family sagas, or a coastal escape, there’s something new and exciting to dive into. From the haunting twists of Happy Face to the sun-drenched charm of Summertide, here are 13 of the best series you won’t want to miss this month.


THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK CITY S15
 | First on Showmax | Binge now 
 
The Real Housewives of New York City’s cast includes fashion designer and style icon Jenna Lyons, Somali-Canadian model and businesswoman Ubah Hassan, content creator and lifestyle influencer Sai De Silva, serial entrepreneur Erin Lichy, fashion publicist Jessel Taank, and marketing and communications consultant Brynn Whitfield, with fashion designer and entrepreneur Rebecca Minkoff coming in as a friend of the Housewives this season.

This glamorous group of friends is flourishing – but things can change in a New York minute. When rumours start spreading among the ladies, only time will tell if longstanding loyalties are strong enough to weather the storm. 
 
Rebooted with an all-new cast in 2023, The Real Housewives of New York City was nominated for a 2024 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Reality Program. The arrival of art curator Racquel Chevremont makes history this season as the first time in the franchise’s history that a cast has included two openly gay women.

TULSA KING S2 | Binge now 
 
After being released from prison after 25 years, New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Realising that his Mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight sets out to establish a new criminal empire – in a place that might as well be another planet.

In his first TV lead role, Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone (aka Rocky Balboa) stars as Manfredi – a role that’s already earned him a Critics Choice Super Awards nomination for Best Actor in an Action Series.

Created by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone), Tulsa King’s first season was nominated for an Emmy for its stunt coordination, as well as Best Action Series at the Critics Choice Super Awards. With a rare 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 was up for Best Action/Thriller Series at the 2025 Saturn Awards, as voted by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. 
 
Season 2’s first episode became the most-watched global premiere ever on Paramount+, with Tulsa King ranking as a Nielsen Top 10 streaming title throughout its US run. Paramount+ has already ordered a third season.

Frank Grillo (Boss Level, Peacemaker) joins the cast this season as Kansas City Mob boss Bill Bevilaqua. Also look out for Critics Choice nominee Neal McDonough (DC’s Damien Darhk, and Marvel’s Dum Dum Dugan), Emmy winner Dana Delany (Katherine in Desperate Housewives), Emmy nominee Annabella Sciorra (Gloria Trillo in The Sopranos), and Stallone’s daughter, Scarlet Rose Stallone.
