Let’s be honest — if you’re waiting for Peacock to become the next Netflix or Max, you might want to invest in a very comfortable chair. For now, the streamer seems content being the place where NBC shows go to live forever, Universal movies go to get watched during lazy weekends, and live sports fans scream at their TVs like they’re actually there.

But don’t write it off just yet — May 2025 brings some promising picks, including the return of one of its best originals: Poker Face . Plus, Ke Huy Quan doing action-comedy? Animated dogs with superpowers? And yes — the Eurovision Song Contest , which is basically the Olympics of glitter and bad life decisions.

Let’s break down what’s coming to Peacock this month.

🎩 The Best New Shows and Movies on Peacock in May 2025

🃏 Poker Face Season 2 – Back with More Mysteries (May 8 & Throughout Month, Peacock Original)

Rian Johnson’s Poker Face returns for Season 2, bringing back Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale — the poker-faced sleuth who solves murders while on the run from a mysterious organization that definitely should’ve hired better HR.

Each episode is a standalone mystery, making it perfect for fans of Monk , Columbo , and people who enjoy guessing whodunit before the third commercial break.

Expect new cases, fresh guest stars (some of whom might not survive), and more vintage cars than your grandpa’s garage.

💥 Black Bag – Soderbergh Does Spies (May 2, Peacock Exclusive)

Directed by the ever-prolific Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven , Magic Mike , Che ), Black Bag is a sleek spy thriller that probably has something to do with briefcases full of secrets, double agents, and someone whispering into a burner phone in a parking garage.

It’s the kind of movie that makes you feel smarter just by watching it — even if you have no idea what’s going on.

😂 Love Hurts – Ke Huy Quan Gets Beaten Up for Laughs (May 9, Peacock Exclusive)

Fresh off his comeback tour from cinematic obscurity, Ke Huy Quan stars in this Universal action-comedy about… well, we can only assume he plays a lovable underdog who gets into increasingly ridiculous physical predicaments.

Think Mr. Magoo meets Mission Impossible — but funnier and with fewer explosions (probably).

🐶 Dog Man – Comics Come to Life (May 30, Peacock Exclusive)

Based on the wildly popular children’s book series by Dav Pilkey (who also brought us Captain Underpants ), Dog Man follows a half-dog, half-cop hero who fights crime and teaches kids important lessons — like never trust a cat with a bank account.

Perfect for families, chaos lovers, and anyone who’s ever laughed at a poop joke.

🇪🇺 Eurovision Song Contest 2025 – Glitter, Confetti, and National Pride (May 13–17)

The most chaotic musical event in the world is back — and once again, only available in the U.S. on Peacock. Expect:

• Over-the-top performances
• Lyrics that make zero sense
• Flags flying
• Countries that barely like each other competing anyway
• One performance that will haunt your dreams until next year
