Paramount+ just added 82 new movies and shows to start the month of May 2026. That's not quite as many as the streaming service's previous monthly drop; last month, it added 147 movies and shows in a single day. But 82 new movies and shows are more than enough for you to try and watch in a single month.
That reality might overwhelm you with decision paralysis. Lucky for you, I've already looked through everything coming to Paramount+ in May, and I know exactly which of these movies and shows are a must-watch. One show with a devoted fan base is making the cut, but for the most part, this list is for the cinephiles. Some, like "Hamburger Hill," are acclaimed classics. Others, like "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle," are in here because I couldn't leave them out.
