What to expect from Showmax in May 2025

Whether you’re into intense thrillers, big sports matches, or bingeable reality TV, there’s something ready to stream this month.

Leading the month’s highlights is Tulsa King Season 2, the crime drama starring Sylvester Stallone, with all episodes available from 2 May 2025. Fans of action and loyalty dramas will be eager to catch up on the gritty underworld saga as it picks up momentum.

Movie lovers can look forward to Gladiator II, premiering on 2 May 2025. The much-anticipated sequel to the 2000 classic returns with more epic battles and emotional storytelling, making it one of May’s must-watch films.

For reality TV fans, The Real Housewives of New York City Season 15 and The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 both offer full seasons ready to binge, while sports enthusiasts can tune in live to major Premier League clashes like the Soweto Derby (3 May 2025) and Liverpool vs. Arsenal (10 May 2025).

There’s also something for documentary fans with Anatomy of Lies on 7 May 2025 and Wild Wild Space landing later in the month on 28 May 2025. And for a lighter movie night, comedies like Wicked Little Letters and Bet I Love You add variety to the lineup.

With new episodes, live sports, and fresh originals, Showmax has packed May with non-stop entertainment.
