Peacock’s streaming lineup for May features a new original series as well as the streaming debut of a Quentin Tarantino masterpiece. Before either of those releases, though, there’s a slew of great movies being added to the platform starting on May 1. Whether you’re into sci-fi, adventure, fantasy, or rom-coms, there’s a little bit of everything here you’ll be able to watch as soon as April comes to an end.
As for highlights, the new Peacock Original series is a crime drama series called M.I.A. According to the official Peacock page, the series will be released as a “nine-episode binge drop” starting on May 7. Following that is the long-awaited streaming debut of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, which is an epic 275-minutes of movie. It’s arriving alongside a slew of other popular Tarantino films on May 22.
