So we’re rounding up the genre television coming out each month.  A new season of horror anthology The Terror hits AMC—and this one takes place in a psychiatric facility. A smattering of adult animated comedies debut, as well as Netflix’s adaptation of hit video game series Devil May Cry. Also from Netflix is a quirky new show described as Stranger Things for senior citizens. The Terror: Devil in Silver — AMC+/Shudder (May 7) AMC’s horror anthology series returns. This time, instead of the icy Northwest passage or an internment camp, the show is set in a psychiatric facility, where a working-class man (played by Dan Stevens) is wrongfully committed. In addition to adversarial patients and medical staff, the man must also face a supernatural threat lurking in the halls. Subtitled Devil in Silver, this season is based on Victor LaValle’s novel of the same name—and LaValle showruns this season alongside Chris Cantwell. Regular Show: The Lost Tapes — Cartoon Network (May 11)  Cartoon Network’s beloved animated series gets a sort of revival, sort of continuation, sort of midquel. Regular Show takes palace in a world of quirky anthropomorphic creatures, which range from animals to gumball machines. It follows the misadventures of two slacker friends, a bluejay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby. The show originally ran for eight seasons, before ending in 2017. Devil May Cry — Netflix (May 12)  Based on the hit video game franchise of the same name, Devil May Cry centers around Dante, a half-demon demon hunter. Dante attempts to thwart a demonic invasion of earth by a demon-obsessed terrorist—but he must also avoid the anti-demon government organization DARKCOM, which has its eyes on him. Dante clashes with pragmatic DARKCOM lieutenant Mary Ann. Good Omens — Prime Video (May 13)  (Season 3) Amazon Prime’s Good Omens series concludes with a one episode finale. Based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s 1990 novel, Good Omens follows the misadventures of angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tennant). The first season adapted the book pretty faithfully and the second season continued the story—with a big ol’ kiss between the pair. The series was well-received. Gaiman was originally heavily involved, but after sexual assault allegations against him surfaced in 2024, he stepped back from production. The Boroughs — Netflix (May 21) In a quiet retirement community, a group of seniors bands together to stop an otherworldly threat. Produced by the Duffer Brothers (of Stranger Things fame), The Boroughs boasts an all-star cast including Bill Pullman, Geena Davis, Alfred Molina, and Alfre Woodard. Netflix describes the show as “Stranger Things, but for seniors”—and honestly? That sounds incredibly cool. Mating Season — Netflix (May 22) From the creators of Big Mouth, Mating Season follows a group of horny anthropomorphic animals desperate to get laid. Expect a lot of dirty jokes and uncomfortable sexual situations. Zach Woods, Nick Kroll, June Diane Raphael, and Sabrina Jalees. Rick and Morty — Adult Swim (May 24) (Season 9) Adult Swim’s hit series returns for a ninth season. Since 2013, misanthropic mad scientist Rick has been dragging his hapless grandson Morty along on interdimensional adventures. Their quirky adventures clash with the domestic drama happening with the rest of the family. The show has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards.  Spider-Noir — Prime Video (May 27) Nicholas Cage stars as Ben Reilly, an alternate version of Spider-Man who is a grizzled noir detective. Reilly’s retired from his life of vigilante crime fighting, but a new case pulls him back into the fray. Cage voiced the role in the Spider-Verse animated movie franchise. The show is live action, though, and will be released in both black and white and color.  Star City — Apple TV (May 29) A spinoff of Apple TV’s For All Mankind, Star City takes place in the same alternate history where the space race continued on after the Soviets put a man on the moon. This time, however, the focus is on the Soviet Union and the show will explore the Soviet space program. Star City stars Rhys Ifans, Anna Maxell Martin, and Agnes O’Casey.[end-mark] The post Here Are All the Genre TV Premieres Airing in May! appeared first on Reactor.
