Out of the 10 new dramas that will debut throughout the month, the following are the shows I am most anxious to see:

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story on May 4 on Netflix. This prequel spin-off series will focus on young Queen Charlotte (played by Golda Rosheuval as an adult and India Amarteifio as the younger version) and young King George of England.

Class of ‘09 on May 10 on FX on Hulu. An ensemble cast, which includes Brian Tyree Henry, Kate Mara and Brian J. Smith, stars in this limited series that will follow a class of FBI agents, who grapple with immense changes as the U.S. criminal justice system is altered by artificial intelligence.

American Born Chinese on May 24 on Disney+. Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan will star in a series about Jin Wang, an average teenager juggling his high school social life with his home life. When he meets a new foreign student on the first day of the school year, even more worlds collide as Jin is unwittingly entangled in a battle of Chinese mythological Gods.

Fubar on May 25 on Netflix. Arnold Schwarzenegger will star as a CIA operative on the verge of retirement discovers a family secret and is forced back into the field for one last job. Top Gun: Maverick alum Monica Barbaro will play his daughter and The Last Ship alum Travis Van Winkle also stars.
