Queen Stars Brazil Season 1 – May 5
Much like RuPaul’s Drag Race, the brand new reality show from brazil titled “Queen Stars” will see twenty show-stopping queens battling it out in different competitions in order to grab the title of country’s newest pop drag trio.
The competition sees the participants divided into groups of four in the very first episode. Each group will lose one of its participants at the end of the episode. Following that, in the second episode, we will see the participants in groups of three, and the show continues until we see the three top performers winning the show.
The Staircase – May 5
The Staircase takes inspiration from the 2004 true-crime docuseries of the same name. Starring the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Colin Firth in the lead role, The Staircase tells the story of crime novelist Michael Peterson and his family.
The suspicious death of his wife Kathleen lands Michael under the suspicion of killing his wife. A three-month trial leads to Michael’s arrest. The official trailer sees a french documentary about the incident and Michael staying true to his innocence, taking the world by storm.
Hacks Season 2 – May 12
The second season of Hacks will continue the story of Deborah and Ava. According to Showrunner Paul W. Downs, this time around, they will be going back to basics after Deborah’s show bombed. There is a new tour, and a new tour manager, a new act Deborah has to come up with to establish her name in Las Vegas all over again.
Amidst all of this, we may see a conflict coming with Ava sending an e-mail she shouldn’t have and hoping Deborah doesn’t find out. On Deborah’s side, the trailer sees her doubting this new tour. Laurie Metcalf, Martha Kelley, Ming-Na Wen, and Margaret Cho are some of the stars that will be guests appearing this season.
Who’s By Your Side Season 1 – May 12
Who’s By Your Side is a Taiwan Drama Series joining the slate of HBO Asia. The show follows the story of Jian Zhi-Sheng. A former businessman who ended up becoming a mechanic after his business went down. Supporting him, his wife Zeng Yung also picks up a job. But things go south with Jian Zhi-Sheng finding himself gambling while his daughter runs away, causing the family great pain.

That Damn Michael Che Season 2 – May 26
Michael Che’s sketch comedy receives a second consecutive season as he explores everyday experiences like racial profiling, unemployment, and falling in love from his own experience. He illustrates the same through various sketches and vignettes. The first seasons saw SNL stars like Cecily Strong, Heidi Gardner, Colin Quinn, Ellen Cleghorne, and Colin Jost joining the show. We wonder who would be next making an appearance for the coming second season.
