New And Recent Movies Streaming: What I’m Excited To Watch Online In May 2025

The first four months of the 2025 movie schedule are nothing but a distant memory, but a large chunk of those movies – One of Them Days, Companion, and Black Bag, to name a few – are already available on some of the best streaming services around. So, if you’re like me and missed Last Breath on the big screen but still want to see what all the fuss is about, I’ve got you more than covered.

Below is a breakdown of all the new and recent movies streaming that I cannot wait to check out in May 2025. From 2025 Netflix originals like Havoc to surprisingly fun action flicks like G20, and a whole collection of VOD titles, there’s just so much I want to watch (and so should you). With that out of the way, let’s take a look at some of the most promising streaming titles available right now!

New Movies Streaming By Platform

So, you don’t want to waste too much time going through all those movies above and just want to know what’s streaming on the various streaming platforms. Well, worry not, because I have a full rundown of everything that’s already streaming on services like Netflix, Max, and Hulu, as well as some major titles coming to each at some point in the month of May.

New Movies Streaming On Disney+

Though the upcoming live-action Disney remake of Lilo & Stitch won’t be coming to the streaming world for at least a few more months, a Disney+ subscription gives you access to some great new and recent titles worth checking out. Here’s everything that’s hit the service in the past few months.

Disney+: from $9.99 a month w/ ad-supported plan
From the complete Marvel and Star Wars franchise to animated classics straight from the Walt Disney Vault and documentaries from National Geographic. Wholesome entertainment for all the family, starting at $9.99 a month for its new ad-supported plan. Go ad-free and pay $15.99 a month or save 16% and pre-pay $159.99 for a year.

New Movies Streaming On Hulu

If you have a Hulu subscription, you can watch all kinds of new and recent movies streaming, like A Complete Unknown, O’Dessa, and the 2025 Academy Award-winning Anora. But that isn’t all, as you’ll soon be able to watch The Amateur when the 2025 Rami Malek movie makes its streaming debut in the near future.

Hulu Student Discount: $7.99 $1.99 a month
Save 75% - Get Hulu's With-Ads plan, usually costing $7.99 a month, for just $1.99 a month if you're a student attending an eligible US Title IV accredited college or university. Verify your student status and get a discounted Hulu subscription for as long as you're in education.

New Movies Streaming On Max

Besides watching The Last of Us and finally catching up with The Righteous Gemstones using my Max subscription, I also plan to revisit my favorite movie of 2024 – The Brutalist – when the epic Adrien Brody movie hits the streaming service this month. But, that’s just the beginning.

Max: Plans start from $9.99 a month
Pay $9.99 a month for its With Ads plan, and with three tiers available following a Max subscription. You can also prepay for a year and save up to 20%.

New Movies Streaming On Netflix

If you have a Netflix subscription, you can watch exclusive movies like Havoc, The Electric State, and more. My most-anticipated 2025 Netflix original – Chris Columbus’ The Thursday Murder Club adaptation – doesn’t drop until later this year, but there’s still a lot to enjoy on the platform.

New Movies Streaming On Paramount+

Despite being one of the newer streaming services on the market, Paramount+ features one of the most robust libraries of new movies for viewers of all ages. But remember, you need a Paramount+ subscription to watch them streaming.

Paramount Plus With SHOWTIME: $12.99 A Month Or $119.99 A Year
Get the most out of a Paramount Plus subscription and sign up to its more premium plan, Paramount Plus With Showtime. You're essentially getting two catalogs of content, throwing together both Paramount Plus and Showtime Originals. And if you're a big fan of the likes of Tulsa King, Survivor, 1883, other CBS hits as well as live sports, and those Showtime titles, CinemaBlend always suggests saving big with the annual plan, working out as little a $10 a month.

New Movies Streaming On Peacock

Have a Peacock subscription and looking for a way to use it besides watching old wrestling videos on WWE Network? Well, new movies like Black Bag and Love Hurts are joining the streamer’s massive library of movies this month.

Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a year
Tune into the latest hits from NBC and Bravo by subscribing to Peacock TV. Costing as little as $7.99 a month, you can also pay more for Peacock Premium and enjoy ad-free streams and the option to download titles to watch offline later.

New Movies Streaming On Prime Video

I use my Amazon Prime subscription for all kinds of stuff (like watching the remastered Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii concert film), but the service also holds it down with all kinds of streaming releases. Here are some of the latest titles streaming on Prime Video right now.

Amazon Prime Video: 30-day free trial
An Amazon Prime membership offers so much more than just streaming. Throw in free, fast delivery, Prime Gaming and Reading, as well as exclusive offers. With one of the biggest libraries of on-demand content, watch Amazon Originals like LOTR prequel, The Rings of Power and superhero hit, The Boys. Trial for 30-days, thereafter pay $14.99 a month, or save 22% by paying $139 upfront for the year.

New Movies Streaming On VOD

Don’t want to wait for your favorite movies (or maybe those you missed on the big screen) to hit one of your favorite streaming services? Though you’ll have to pay a premium price for the convenience of watching a movie early (some of these titles cost $25 on Amazon), sometimes the price is no problem.

With the year now in full swing, it won’t be long before we see some of those highly anticipated big-screen releases find their way to VOD and streaming services.
