As summer approaches, the leading streaming platforms are preparing for their releases. Traditionally, May is considered a transitional month between the end of spring and the start of summer, but even so, Paramount+ has a wealth of exciting, fresh content lined up for the final days before summer’s arrival in May.

Paramount+ has consistently been a top destination for fans of CBS, Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and Paramount Pictures’ movie collection. This May, it promises content for all tastes, ranging from a fresh season of a long-running CBS drama series to a popular Canadian medical show that was acquired. For those with a Showtime subscription on Paramount+, there are additional offerings, along with even more episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Make sure to check the Paramount+ schedule for May to find out which shows you should keep an eye on when they return.

‘Criminal Minds: Evolution’ (Season 3)

Streaming May 8

For 15 seasons, starting in 2005 and ending in 2020, the original “Criminal Minds” was one of TV’s longest-lasting dramas. Now, a new chapter unfolds with “Criminal Minds: Evolution“, picking up where the original left off, featuring familiar faces from the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Adam Rodriguez, and Paget Brewster are all coming back. Additionally, there will be a special appearance by Matthew Gray Gubler’s character, Dr. Spencer Reid, who hasn’t been seen since the original CBS series concluded.

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ (Season 10)

Streaming May 9

In a thrilling turn of events, I find myself eagerly anticipating the return of a spin-off that’s become a household name in reality TV—none other than RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars! This season marks an impressive milestone as it’s their 10th run. The charismatic and iconic RuPaul himself, alongside fellow judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, and Ts Madison, make up the panel for this extraordinary season. Returning queens from the original series are given another opportunity to shine and ultimately claim the crown in this high-stakes competition.

Fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race are in for a treat this upcoming season as some familiar faces such as Ginger Minj, Daya Betty, Irene the Alien, Jorgeous, and Kerri Colby, among others, will be returning. Given that the original series achieved one of its best-rated seasons in recent years, anticipation for this spin-off’s return should be equally high. The companion show, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Untucked, is also set to premiere its seventh season on the same day. So, if you can’t get enough of these queens, make sure to mark May 9 on your calendar!

‘SkyMed’ (Season 3)

Streaming May 15

This medical drama hails from our northern neighbors, specifically Canada. SkyMed focuses on the brave nurses and pilots who operate an air ambulance service in the rugged wilderness of Northern Manitoba. Natasha Calis portrays Nurse Hayley Roberts alongside Morgan Holmstrom, Braeden Clarke, Emilia McCarthy, Patrick Kwok-Choon, and Aaron Ashmore.

The upcoming third season of SkyMed will stream on May 15th and promises thrilling rescues, romance, and emotional goodbyes as it continues from the suspenseful finale of Season 2. Newcomers TJ, a pilot, and Marianne, the head nurse, join the cast. Similar to the first two seasons, there will be nine episodes, but unlike before, they’ll all be released simultaneously on May 15th. So, if you don’t want any spoilers, it might be wise to plan a weekend-long binge session!
