May on Apple TV leans into high-concept storytelling with a slick mix of ambition, intrigue and offbeat charm. This month’s line-up threads together emotionally driven drama, sharp-edged satire and inventive genre twists, as characters chase connection, reinvention and control in worlds that rarely play fair. May on Apple TV offers a confident, varied slate that unfolds with purpose — and just enough unpredictability to keep things interesting.
Unconditional
TV Series - May 8
Unconditional follows a mother-daughter vacation-turned-nightmare when 25-year-old Gali (Talia Lynne Ronn) is arrested for drug smuggling in Moscow. Her mother, Orna (Liraz Chamami), refuses to accept the charges — but her fight for Gali’s freedom pulls her into a deadly web of crime and corruption.
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed
TV Series - May 20
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed follows newly divorced mum Paula (Maslany) as she falls down a dangerous rabbit hole of blackmail, murder and youth soccer. Convinced she witnessed a crime — while simultaneously struggling through a custody battle and an identity crisis — Paula begins her own investigation, one that could unravel a greater conspiracy while also holding the keys to rebuilding her family and sense of self.
Propeller One-Way Night Coach
Film - May 29
Set in the golden age of aviation, a young aeroplane enthusiast, Jeff (played by newcomer Clark Shotwell), and his mother (Kelly Eviston-Quinnett) set off on a one-way cross-country odyssey to Hollywood, which transforms a simple flight into the trip of a lifetime. Between airline meals, charming flight attendants (played by Ella Bleu Travolta and Olga Hoffmann), unexpected stopovers, larger-than-life passengers and a thrilling glimpse at first class, the journey unfolds in moments both magical and unexpected, charting the course for the boy’s future.
Star City
TV Series - May 29
A bold new chapter inspired by the critically acclaimed space-race drama, For All Mankind, Star City is a propulsive paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race — when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humankind forward.
