May 2026 is shaping up to be a packed month for streaming, with major platforms rolling out series that span heists, superhero noir, and ranch dramas. For Latino audiences, there's plenty to look forward to, from Spanish television icons to Argentine comedy and a Yellowstone spin-off set in Texas.
Netflix: Berlin Returns and Stranger Things Producers Go Sci-Fi
Pedro Alonso is back as the charismatic Berlin in the second season of his namesake series, premiering May 15. This time, the gang moves to Seville to pull off a master heist centered on “The Lady with an Ermine.” Beyond the robbery, the plot digs into Berlin's thirst for revenge against the Duke of Málaga, adding a personal edge to the action. For fans of Spanish television, this is a must-watch.
Later in the month, on May 21, Netflix drops The Boroughs, a sci-fi mystery from the producers of Stranger Things. Starring Alfred Molina and Geena Davis, the series follows a retirement community hiding supernatural secrets. It's a fresh take on the genre, blending nostalgia with suspense.

HBO Max and SkyShowtime: Yellowstone Expands and Rick and Morty Returns
Taylor Sheridan's ranching universe grows with Dutton Ranch, premiering May 22 on SkyShowtime. The series follows Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler as they leave Montana behind to build a future in Texas. With Annette Bening and Ed Harris joining the cast, this spin-off promises brutal rivalries and a fresh setting far from the ghosts of the Yellowstone ranch.
On HBO Max, May 25 brings the ninth season of Rick and Morty, continuing its irreverent humor and interdimensional chaos. It's a solid pick for adult animation fans looking for sharp satire.
Prime Video: Spider-Noir and Citadel Return
One of the most visually innovative series this month is Spider-Noir, premiering May 27 on Prime Video. Nicolas Cage plays Ben Reilly, a private detective in 1930s New York, in a live-action series that lets viewers choose between “Authentic Black and White” or “True-Hue Color.” It's a clever nod to film noir that puts the audience in control.
Earlier, on May 6, Citadel returns for a new season, doubling down on high-budget espionage and global conspiracies. The series continues to expand its complex network of agents, making it a binge-worthy option for action fans.
Apple TV+ and Disney+: Espionage, Drama, and Argentine Humor
Apple TV+ premieres Satisfied on May 20, a drama starring Tatiana Maslany as a mother trapped in a web of blackmail and assassins after a difficult divorce. It's a tense, psychological thriller that explores the limits of survival.
Disney+ has two notable premieres. On May 1, The Boss returns with Guillermo Francella's signature cynical humor as Eliseo, the beloved Argentine character. Then on May 15, Rivals dives into the fierce competition of 1980s British television, offering a period drama with sharp dialogue.
