Spring is in full swing and bringing a fresh wave of TV options, including new TV shows premiering on Netflix, Paramount+ and more of the best streaming services, as well as broadcast and cable TV.
This week’s new TV slate is led by the “Yellowstone” universe expansion, “Dutton Ranch,” which sees Beth and Rip try to start over in Texas. Bone-crushing thrills are in store when “The Punisher: One Last Kill” brings back villain Frank Castle. If you’re in the mood for romance, the college hockey drama “Off Campus” is heating up the ice. And for real sports action, “Welcome to Wrexham” season 5 sees the club navigating new challenges.
‘The Punisher: One Last Kill’ (Disney+)
The vibes: The MCU goes noir, flavored by whiskey and trauma.
The plot: Frank Castle is trying something a little different: not living every waking second like a human vendetta machine. Naturally, it doesn’t stick. Bernthal’s gravel-voiced antihero goes into another violent spiral, this time with a bit more soul-searching. Positioned between “The Punisher” and “Daredevil: Born Again” season 2, the special looks less like a superhero spectacle and more like a self-reckoning.
Premiere date: Special airs Tuesday, May 12 at 9 p.m. ET
Where to watch: Disney+
‘Good Omens’ 3 (Prime Video)
The vibes: The coolest couple you know breaks up, with apocalyptic stakes.
The plot: In the super-sized last episode that comprises the third season, angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tennant) are officially estranged — which is inconvenient since the literal Second Coming is underway. After his promotion to Supreme Archangel, Aziraphale is buried under heavenly bureaucracy while Crowley sulks through Soho like a devastated divorcé. But with the universe wobbling toward disaster, the pair are dragged back together for one last emotionally messy save-the-world mission.
Premiere date: Finale episode airs Wednesday, May 13 at 3 a.m. ET

‘Off Campus’ (Prime Video)
The vibes: A hetero “Heated Rivalry” in the format of “Bridgerton.”
The plot: Based on Elle Kennedy’s bestselling novels, this horny soap focuses on an elite college hockey team whose hookups are as hot as their on-ice drive is cold. Like “Bridgerton,” each book — and likely each season — shifts focus to a new couple. Season 1 centers on the chemistry between team golden boy Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli) and reserved songwriter Hannah Wells (Ella Bright). Their opposites-attract dynamic fuels a romance packed with banter, bad decisions and barely-suppressed lust.
Premiere date: All 8 episodes on Wednesday, May 13 at 3 a.m. ET
Where to watch: Prime Video
‘Nemesis’ (Netflix)
The vibes: “Heat” by way of “Power”
The plot: From “Power” mastermind Courtney A. Kemp, this sleek crime thriller pits jewel thief Coltrane Wilder (Y’lan Noel) against obsessive LAPD detective Isaiah Stiles (Matthew Law). Their cat-and-mouse game starts with stolen diamonds but quickly spirals into something messier: two family men who recognize way too much of themselves in the enemy.
Premiere date: All 8 episodes on Thursday, May 14 at 3 a.m. ET
Where to watch: Netflix
‘Welcome to Wrexham’ season 5 (FXX/Hulu)
The vibes: What happens when the underdogs make it to the big leagues?
The plot: Season 5 chronicles Wrexham’s jump into the Championship, where survival suddenly matters as much as dreams of the Premier League. Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds navigate a tougher squad rebuild, compounding pressures and a relegation fight while honoring club legend Joey Jones. Meanwhile, the women’s team also pushes for top-flight status in Wales.
Premiere date: Episodes 1-2 on Thursday, May 14 at 9 p.m. ET
Where to watch: Hulu
‘Rivals’ season 2 part 1 (Hulu)
The vibes: The “naughtiest show on television” gets even naughtier, and the hair gets even bigger.
The plot: Season 2 escalates the battle for the Central South West TV franchise as Corinium and Venturer turn vicious. David Tennant’s Lord Baddingham goes full scorched-earth, targeting Rupert (Alex Hassell) and Declan (Aidan Turner) with schemes and scandal. Ambition curdles into obsession, alliances fall apart and romances implode, as the county’s glossy surface starts to crack.
Premiere date: All 6 episodes on Friday, May 15 at 12 a.m. ET
Where to watch: Hulu
‘Dutton Ranch’ (Paramount+)
The vibes: “Yellowstone” goes to Texas — yeehaw!
The plot: Taylor Sheridan’s sequel series to the mega-hit “Yellowstone” follows Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) as they make a fresh start on a South Texas ranch after the blood-soaked fallout in Montana. Their peaceful beginning quickly unravels when they run afoul of a rival empire led by Beulah Jackson (Annette Bening). Old and new enemies surface, as well as allies, including a compassionate veterinarian (Ed Harris). Beth and Rip soon learn that in Texas, grudges are forever.
Premiere date: Episodes 1-2 on Friday, May 15 at 3 a.m. ET
Where to watch: Paramount+
