Pluto TV’s May 2026 Is Stacked: Every Free Movie, Show, and Channel Dropping

April is basically over, which means fresh stuff is about to hit the streamers. And not just the subscription guys. Pluto TV is loading up for May, and if you like TV marathons and big movie swings, it is weirdly stacked for a free service.

The TV headliners

The CW staples are back. Pluto is bringing every episode of 'Arrow' and 'The 100' back to streaming after they left Netflix late last year. If you have been itching for a rewatch, this covers it end to end: 'Arrow' runs eight seasons and 170 episodes; 'The 100' goes seven seasons, 100 episodes total.

On May 1, Pluto also becomes a one-stop shop for 'Battlestar Galactica' (the 2004 series) with all four seasons, the original pilot miniseries, and two feature-length movies. That is the whole arc in one place, which is rare these days.

Rounding out the TV adds: 'Hart of Dixie' (four seasons, 76 episodes) if you want cozy small-town drama- comedy, and 'My Wife & Kids' (five seasons, 123 episodes) for classic sitcom comfort.

Quick take

For a free app, this is a lot. TV-wise, the big news is the full runs of 'Arrow', 'The 100', and the complete 'Battlestar Galactica' package landing in one place. Movie-wise, it is a little of everything: the 'Mission: Impossible' streak through 'Rogue Nation', 'Top Gun: Maverick ', Godfather deep cuts with the 'Coda' re-edit, and horror heavy hitters like 'Hereditary' and 'Green Room'. If you are indecisive, Pluto basically made May a channel-surfing buffet.
