The TV Answer Man – Follow me on X.

Streaming service Peacock plans to add 140 new TV shows and movies in May 2025. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion.

Poker Face, Season 2
Release Date: May 8
Natasha Lyonne stars in this Peacock original comedy/drama about a former casino employee who’s basically a human lie detector; she can spot someone lying lickety split. And using her unique skills, she’s able to solve a murder mystery in 60 minutes or less. Call it a modern day Columbo, Poker Face is a delight thanks to Lyonne’s charming performance, an exceptional lineup of guest stars, and show creator Rian Johnson‘s clever crafting. Season two will include appearances from Awkwafina, Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffmann, BJ Novak, Carol Kane, Melanie Lynskey, David Alan Grier and the great Margo Martindale , among others. Season one is now available on Peacock. Season two will debut on May 8 with the first three episodes and future installments every Thursday.

The Kentucky Derby 2025
Release Date: May 3
As the child of NBC, Peacock will be the exclusive streaming home of NBC Sports’ broadcast of The Kentucky Derby on May 3 and The Preakness on May 17, the first two legs of horse racing’s annual Triple Crown. Journalism is the current favorite at 3-1 to take home the roses on May 3. But watch out for that track bias, Journalism.

Black Bag (2025)
Release Date: May 2
Michael Fassbender stars as a British intelligence officer who must investigate the possibility of traitors in the government including his wife, played by Cate Blanchett. Directed by arguably the most underrated director of his time, Steven Soderbergh, Black Bag is a taut thriller with characteristic cinematic flourishes from a master auteur. The movie, which fared poorly at the box office, will be a Peacock streaming exclusive. Don’t miss it.
