12. Worst Ex Ever, Season 2

If you ripped through Should I Marry a Murderer? and want more true crime stories about romances that turned toxic (and even deadly), then Blumhouse's second season of Worst Ex Ever is for you.

Four new episodes told from the perspective of the exes who survived them reveal stories of betrayal, robbery, assault, and murder. Some you may have heard about, like the 90 Day Fiancé star accused of decades of domestic violence. Or the "worst ex" that kicks off Season 2: Wade Wilson, aka "the Deadpool Killer." But even if you've heard of these bad boyfriends before, this series unearths shocking details that are sure to leave you rattled. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

How to watch: Worst Ex Ever Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

11. Whistle

So you're a group of students who find a creepy skull-shaped pipe and decide the best course of action is to blow into it. You're the characters from Whistle, directed by Corin Hardy (The Nun) and written by Owen Egerton (Mercy Black). But folks, this ain't just any cursed object, it's an Aztec death whistle, which, if blown into, will summon your future demise. Sounds like Final Destination meets Ouija. Fun! Terrifying! Orchestral! This Fantastic Fest debut promises to freak you out and possibly deter you from ever picking up a wind instrument again.* — Shannon Connellan, Senior Editor

Starring: Sophie Nélisse, Nick Frost, Michelle Fairley, Dafne Keen, Sky Yang, Jhaleil Swaby, Ali Skovbye, and Percy Hynes White

How to watch: Whistle debuts on Shudder May 8.

10. Remarkably Bright Creatures

Shelby Van Pelt's bestselling novel Remarkably Bright Creatures comes to Netflix this May, bringing with it the sweet story of an unlikely friendship. On one side of the friendship? Tova Sullivan (Sally Field), a widow who works as a cleaner at a local aquarium. On the other side? Marcellus (voiced by Alfred Molina), a giant Pacific octopus whose tank Tova cleans. The pair's unlikely bond brings joy to Tova's life, as does her burgeoning connection with her younger coworker, Cameron (Lewis Pullman). Expect this one to tug at your heartstrings.* — B.E.

Starring: Sally Field, Lewis Pullman, Colm Meaney, Joan Chen, Kathy Baker, Beth Grant, Sofia Black-D’Elia, and Alfred Molina

How to watch: Remarkably Bright Creatures debuts on Netflix May 8.

9. Touch Me

Here's a comedy for those who've become addicted to a beau who's bad for you. This horror comedy from writer/director Addison Heimann begins with best friends Craig (Jordan Gavaris) and Joey (Olivia Taylor Dudley), who know that her ex is bad news. But even though he's cringe, he's irritably alluring. No, like, he's an extraterrestrial narcissist whose touch is like heroin.

Weird and wild, Touch Me is the kind of comedy that's perfect for a movie night in with friends. Well, as long as your friends are weirdos too. — K.P.

Starring: Olivia Taylor Dudley, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jordan Gavaris, Marlene Forte, Paget Brewster, Ashley Lauren Nedd, JJ Phillips, Yumarie Morales, and Eli Lucas

How to watch: Touch Me is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video and Apple TV.

8. The Terror: Devil in Silver

AMC's supernatural horror anthology season returns with Season 3 in the form of The Terror: Devil in Silver.

Adapted from Victor LaValle's novel, The Devil in Silver this season stars Dan Stevens as Pepper, who once dreamed of rock star glory as a drummer for a heavy metal band called Rhino. But in middle age, he's a blue-collar nobody with violent outbursts, whose life is thrown into spin when he's wrongfully committed to an asylum called the New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital. There, he'll confront his own flaws, and an evil he can't explain. — K.P.

Starring: Dan Stevens, Judith Light, CCH Pounder, and Stephen Root

How to watch: The Terror: Devil in Silver is now streaming on AMC+ and Shudder.

7. The Bear, "Gary"

While you wait for FX to serve up Season 5 of The Bear, which is due in June, take a nibble on "Gary," a surprise stand-alone episode that dropped May 5. Written by and starring Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Jon Bernthal, the flashback episode follows Mikey (Bernthal) and Richie (Moss-Bachrach) along on a work trip to Gary. 

The episode begins as a solid slice-of-life outing, full of pickup basketball trash talk and a sweet conversation with a hot dog restaurant owner. Quickly, though, it devolves into a self-indulgent trauma fest, complete with yet another unconvincing The Bear romance and a wild cliffhanger that sets up The Bear Season 5. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Starring: Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jon Bernthal, Marin Ireland, and Gillian Jacobs

How to watch: "Gary" is now streaming on Hulu.

6. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, Season 11

Racers, start your engines, and gear up for the summer's most fabulous smackdown.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 11 pits 18 of Drag Race's fiercest queens against one another in the same battle bracket format that made Season 10 such a refreshing series reset. The cast mixes returning All Stars competitors with new blood, setting the stage for some juicy face-offs. Please, Drag Race gods, send me a lip sync between Kennedy Davenport and Morphine Love Dion! — B.E.

Starring: RuPaul, Michelle Visage, A'keria C. Davenport, Dawn, Lucky Starzzz, Morgan McMichaels, Morphine Love Dion, Mystique Summers, April Carrión, Crystal Methyd, Salina Estitties, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Vivacious, Hershii LiqCour-Jeté, Joey Jay, Kennedy Davenport, Sam Star, and Shuga Cain

How to watch: RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 11 premieres on Paramount+ on May 8.

5. The Drama

Between The Drama and Euphoria, it's a big year for Zendaya and disastrous onscreen weddings. One of the buzziest films of 2026 so far, The Drama pairs Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a seemingly perfect engaged couple named Emma and Charlie. In the days leading up to their wedding, the couple — prompted by friends Rachel (Alana Haim) and Mike (Mamoudou Athie) — confess the worst things they've ever done. Emma's admission leaves jaws dropped, and Charlie in a spiral.

What follows is a harrowing interrogation of Emma and Charlie's relationship and how people perceive it. While Zendaya and Pattinson are tremendous, Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko was less impressed with writer/director Kristoffer Borgli's execution, writing in her review (which, fair warning, contains spoilers should you want to go into the film blind), "But much like [Borgli's prior film] Dream Scenario, his actors give more than his undercooked script deserves." — B.E.

Starring: Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates, and Zoë Winters

How to watch: The Drama is now available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

4. Lord of the Flies

A new miniseries from Adolescence co-writer Jack Thorne, based on William Golding's legendary novel Lord of the Flies? Count us in. Following a group of school boys who are forced to survive on a deserted island after their plane crashes, this new adaptation is every bit as brutal as the 1954 book. Expect coming-of-age friendships, rivalries, and a piercing exploration of just how quickly society can fall apart when things enter life-or-death territory. — Sam Haysom, General Assignment Editor, UK

Starring: Winston Sawyers, Lox Pratt, David McKenna, and Ike Talbut

How to watch: Lord of the Flies is now streaming on Netflix.

3. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

In this direct sequel to Ready or Not, Samara Weaving reprises the the role of the Grace Le Domas (née MacCaullay), who was recently widowed when a deal with the devil went sideways for her in-laws. But they're not the only ultra-rich families who've struck such an agreement. And now, a new lot of affluent and armed antagonists are on the hunt for round two. At least this time, Grace gets a Player 2 in her estranged sister (Kathryn Newton).

In my review out of SXSW, I cheered the bonkers fun that the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence brings to this sequel. Particularly shouting out Sarah Michelle Gellar and Shawn Hatosy for bringing mesmerizing menace as a pair of toxic twins, I concluded, "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a winner when it comes to being a totally batshit good time." — K.P.

Starring: Samara Weaving, Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, David Cronenberg, and Elijah Wood

How to watch: Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is now available to rent or purchase on Prime Video and Apple TV.

2. Send Help

Sam Raimi, the gnarly mind behind the Evil Dead trilogy, brings his distinctive brand of horror comedy to this sensational and gloppy survival thriller.

Rachel McAdams stars as a mild-mannered office worker who gets stranded on a desert island with her jerk of a boss, played by Dylan O'Brien. Lucky for him, she's obsessed with Survivor, and actually knows how to stay alive in such extreme circumstances. Lucky for us, she's got a mean streak that really blooms in this tropical paradise.

In my review for the film's theatrical release, I wrote, "This was an incredible viewing experience; Raimi took me back to being a kid again, watching Evil Dead 2 on VHS and squealing at the sheer outrageousness of it all. All these years later, I'm much harder to shock — and yet he did it again. Watching Send Help, my stomach churned, my jaw dropped, my eyes bulged, and I threw my hands over my face a few times to guard from the gross explosion on screen. Then I walked out cackling and giddy, because Send Help is not just one of the grossest movies I've seen in the last decade. It's also a rip-roaring, no-fucks-to-give good time." —K.P.

Starring: Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien

How to watch: Send Help is now streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

Best of streaming this week: The Other Bennet Sister

Jane Austen-adjacent series The Other Bennet Sister premiered in the UK earlier this year to acclaim. Now, U.S. audiences can catch it on BritBox — and if you love Pride and Prejudice, you absolutely should.

Based on Janice Hadlow's book of the same name, this sweet Regency romance reimagines Pride and Prejudice — and beyond — through Mary Bennet's (Ella Bruccoleri) eyes. Bookish and a bit of a know-it-all, Mary is always overlooked by her family and by suitors. However, when she gets a chance to visit London, she'll set off on an endearing journey of self-discovery. Boasting a charming lead performance from Bruccoleri, as well as a swoon-worthy new love interest in Dónal Finn's Tom Hayward, The Other Bennet Sister is a delectable spring TV treat. — B.E.

Starring: Ella Bruccoleri, Ruth Jones, Richard E. Grant, Maddie Close, Poppy Gilbert, Grace Hogg-Robinson, Molly Wright, Indira Varma, Richard Coyle, and Varada Sethu

How to watch: The Other Bennet Sister premieres on BritBox on May 6.
