Ready to turn up the heat this May? From offbeat adventures to high-stakes showdowns and heartfelt returns, this month’s line-up brings together bold storytelling across every genre.  

Kicking things off, “Swapped” follows an unlikely duo, a tiny woodland creature and a majestic bird, as they navigate a body-swapping adventure in the wild. “The WONDERfools” blends chaos and comedy as a ragtag group of townies unexpectedly gain superpowers and face a growing threat of doomsday. For something a little more adrenaline-fuelled, fight fans won’t want to miss Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, as two legendary MMA trailblazers return to the cage for a highly anticipated live event. For those in the mood for romance, “Perfect Match: Season 4” returns with more love, drama, and unexpected connections.

Here are the highlights of what’s new:
