Pretty Little Liars: Summer School (May 9)

If you’re a teen girl within the world of PLL who has ever done something mildly wrong—or heck, even if your mum did something dodgy back in the 1980s—prepare to never, ever catch a goddamn break for it. Grudges go deep in this continuing sequel series from the creator of Riverdale, with a group of otherwise unrelated young girls being haunted by a mystery assailant for the sins of their parents. We hope it’s as juicy as the best bits of the original, shamelessly compelling show.

Colin from Accounts: Season 2 (May 30)

Season one of this sweet rom-com charmed our socks off, leaving us stoked for another chapter of enemies-to-lovers romance (there really aren’t enough original Aussie series that get that second chance, tragically). The key to Colin from Accounts is the chemistry between leads Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, who are a legit couple IRL. Brought together by a car crash and an injured dog, they’ve finally fit one another into their wild families. Now comes the tricky bit: trying to keep the romance cute, beyond that memorable meet-cute…

Barbie (May 8)

Speaking of product placement: Greta Gerwig’s daffy doll comedy painted the entire cinematic world pink last year, and is finally available to stream this month. Will Margot Robbie’s quest for selfhood hold up to a rewatch, after we’ve all heard those dang Billie Eilish and “I’m Just Ken” songs a million times already? To me, the movie was a minor disappointment, but the eye-popping playbox production design makes it feel like a special cultural product. C’mon BINGE subscribers, let’s go party.

Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning (May 22)

The latest of Ethan Hunt’s adventures Cruises onto streaming services, bringing along an escalating array of brilliantly-designed action sequences. Tom Cruise and the franchise’s current helmer McQ start (relatively) small, with a footchase through an airport, before we get to witness tiny cars taking Rome and an epic railway finale to finish. And that’s all separate from the epic motorbike stunt showcased in the seventh film’s promo materials—of Cruise driving directly off a cliff, HALO-jumping off his hog. Vroom vroom.

May December (May 30)

Rudely robbed of an Oscar nom for tragic Best Supporting Actor Charles Melton, and, IMO, a win for Best Original Screenplay, Todd Haynes’ brilliant melodrama calls into question the stories we luridly exploit, and where the line between subject and interpreter becomes hopelessly blurred. Julianne Moore is a delicate, lisping Georgia housewife with a shocking, predatory past—Natalie Portman is the pretentious actress set to play Moore in an upcoming film. The women circle one another with niceties, while Melton, as Moore’s underaged victim, breaks our heart in the background. A luminously clever must-see.
