Peacock's streaming lineup for May features a new original series as well as the streaming debut of a Quentin Tarantino masterpiece. Before either of those releases, though, there's a slew of great movies being added to the platform starting on May 1. Whether you're into sci-fi, adventure, fantasy, or rom-coms, there's a little bit of everything here you'll be able to watch as soon as April comes to an end.
As for highlights, the new Peacock Original series is a crime drama series called M.I.A. According to the official Peacock page, the series will be released as a "nine-episode binge drop" starting on May 7. Following that is the long-awaited streaming debut of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, which is an epic 275-minutes of movie. It's arriving alongside a slew of other popular Tarantino films on May 22.

There are quite a few incredible fantasy stories that have been released over the years, many of which have since become a major fandom. Not every movie can be like Lord of the Rings, though, and Stardust is the perfect example of a fantasy film that absolutely succeeds at doing its own thing. Starring Charlie Cox (Daredevil: Born Again) as the hero and Michellle Pfeiffer as the evil witch, Stardust is a fun adventure that can be rewatched over and over. You can check out IGN's Stardust review from back in 2007 for our thoughts.
