Another month is nearly here, and with the weather getting even colder in May, it's the perfect season to binge more great content from Stan.

Television:

The headlining new exclusive series for Stan in May is 'Catch-22'. Starring George Clooney and based on the best selling novel by Joseph Heller, 'Catch-22' tells the story of a soldier in World War II who tries to quit the army, only to find that battling the bureaucracy can be more hazardous than battling the enemy. You can stream the entire first season on May 18.
th
Other new noteworthy shows include The Comedy Channel's 'Corporate'. This "darkly funny" series happens at your typical soulless multi-national corporation, where life as a Junior-Executive-in-Training is never easy when you have to deal with a tyrannical CEO, his sycophant lieutenants and a cast of other characters. Stream the first season on May 24.

Another Comedy Channel series stars our very own Ronny Chieng in 'International Student'. Set in Australia, it's all about Ronny's adventures navigating university life as an international student, and is based on his real experiences doing exactly the same thing here. Stream the entire first season on May 30.

Those looking for historical dramas should check out Starz's 'The Spanish Princess' (May 6). This mini-series tells the story of Spanish princess Catherine of Aragon, who marries into the English royal family, finding herself in a strange land at a young age, and who has to be clever enough to secure her place in history.

There are some quality shows returning for new seasons too in May. There's season 5 of 'iZombie' (May 3), 'Our Cartoon President' season 2 (May 13) and 'Vida' season 2 (May 23).

Movies, Documentaries:

There's a movie for everyone this May on Stan.

Starting with the bigger and/or more recent releases, Disney's output deal with Stan means Australians will be able to stream 'Christopher Robin' on May 12 ahead of any other subscription streaming platform. The family friendly live-action Winnie-the-Pooh movie is superbly done and is full of great moments for old and new fans of the classic story.

The next bunch of movies are not the most recent but are new enough for those looking for something they haven't seen before.

Still from The Big Sick

Game Of Thrones's Emilia Clarke stars in the heart touching, tear-jerking 'Me Before You' (May 23), while comedian Kumail Nanjiani stars as himself in 'The Big Sick', in a story that's completely based on his own life and how he met (spoiler) his wife Emily (May 1).

There's touching teen romance in 'Everything, Everything' (May 24), and the criminally underrated 'Logan Lucky' streams on May 22.

For those looking for something "spicy" to heat up the pre-Winter blues, the 'The Story of O' trilogy starts streaming on May 16, while award winner 'Blue Is The Warmest Colour' streams on May 22.

There is also 'Whitney', the musical biographical documentary on the life and music of Whitney Houston and is well worth a watch when it streams on May 12.
