The best things to stream on DIRECTV's MyEntertainment Pack in May 2026.

Spring has officially sprung in the United States, and May has arrived in all its glory. Traditionally, May has been seen as a month when top TV shows end their seasons, not a month for major premieres.

But DIRECTV’s MyEntertainment Genre Pack will allow viewers to watch a great selection of new TV premieres in May. Check out our list of the best new titles to stream with a MyEntertainment subscription (costing just $35 per month) this month below!

What are the best titles to stream with a DIRECTV MyEntertainment subscription in May 2026?

‘Dutton Ranch’ series premiere

The next series set in the “Yellowstone” universe is premiering on May 15. Paramount Network will host the series “Dutton Ranch,” which follows Beth Dutton and her husband Rip as they try to build their future together, far from the ghosts of Yellowstone. They make their way to South Texas, where blood runs deep, and surviving may just cost you your soul.

Academy Award nominees Ed Harris and Annette Bening co-star in the series, with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser set to return as Beth and Rip. It remains to be seen whether any other Duttons will appear in the series, but fans can watch new episodes of “Dutton Ranch” on Paramount Network with a MyEntertainment subscription each Friday at 8 p.m. ET.

‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ final season premiere

Looking for a reality TV fix this month? If so, “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” is here for you! Snookie and the gang are coming back for one last adventure, bigger and better than ever. The all-new season is packed with fist-pump-worthy milestones and unforgettable moments, from pregnancies and baby showers to bachelorette parties, gender reveals, ab reveals, births, birthdays, weddings, and more.

“Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” will debut on MTV on Thursday, May 7 at 8 p.m. ET. The final season will have 18 episodes in total, and will release one per week in the 8 p.m. timeslot on Thursday evenings until the series finale.

‘Welcome to Wrexham’ Season 5 premiere

It’s easy to write off “Welcome to Wrexham” as a vanity project for Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds, who purchased the Wrexham A.F.C. soccer club in 2021. But watching just one episode of the docuseries will quickly remove that prejudgment from the minds of audiences; it’s impossible not to fall in love with the team, its fans, and the small Welsh town it calls home.

Season 5 of “Welcome to Wrexham” will see the club attempt to battle its way through the EFL Championship, following three straight seasons of promotion. Will they be able to make it to No. 4 this season? Watch “Welcome to Wrexham” Season 5 on FX starting on May 14, with eight episodes planned for the fifth season.

‘The Punisher: One Last Kill’ series premiere

DIRECTV’s MyEntertainment Genre Pack doesn’t just offer linear TV channels. The package also includes free subscriptions to Disney+, HBO Max, and Hulu, and that means that viewers will be able to stream the new Marvel special “The Punisher: One Last Kill” when it premieres on May 12. Jon Bernthal returns to the role of Frank Castle, who is trying to move past a life of revenge when an unexpected force pulls him back into the fight.

It will be fascinating to see if Disney+ can stick the landing with “One Last Kill,” after fumbling so many Marvel projects. Fans will also be able to stream new episodes of “Daredevil: Born Again” and other Marvel titles with their Disney+ subscription through DIRECTV’s MyEntertainment.

‘Hacks’ Season 5 finale

On May 28, fans of the Emmy-winning HBO Max comedy series “Hacks” will have to say goodbye to the series forever. That’s the date the series finale of “Hacks” will air, but fans have all month to say farewell. This season has seen Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels return to the place where the show started: Las Vegas. Deb has one last chance to close her career on her own terms, and her oft-toxic relationship with Ava is key to making it happen.

Fans will be able to stream all episodes of the beloved series on HBO Max to their heart’s content until the finale airs. HBO Max’s ad plan is always free to stream with DIRECTV’s MyEntertainment package, including a huge selection of top movies and TV series.
