Best New Series on Binge in May 2025
Taskmaster UK: Season 19
Release Date: 2/5/2025
A long-standing UK comedy series, Taskmaster sees a group of comedians completing challenges set down by the titular master of tasks himself, Greg Davis, decides how successful they’ve been and awards points accordingly. In Season 19, Fatiha El-Ghorri, Jason Mantzoukas, Mathew Baynton, Rosie Ramsey, and Stevie Martin are taking on the challenge, and will no doubt be made to do some ridiculous feats, all for our enjoyment.
Strife: Season 2
Release Date: 8/5/2025
Based on the memoir of Mia Friedman, founder of women-focused media site Mamamia, Strife follows the journey of Evelyn Jones (Asher Keddie) as she starts up ‘Eve’. Season 1 largely tackles the beginning of the site’s success, while season 2 picks up as competition in the space heats up, and as Evelyn’s online fame starts bringing on unwanted attention things begin to unravel.
Best New Movies on Binge in May 2025
This month, Binge will release a bunch of films to keep you entertained. Here are your highlights.
Transformers One
Release Date: 6/5/2025
A throwback to the good ol’ days of classic Transformers, Transformers One brings back old designs, puts them in a new context, and delivers what has been called one of the best Transformers movies of recent memory. Effectively serving as an origin story for the seemingly eternal fight between the Autobots and Decepticons, Transformers One is a good time for parents and kids alike.
Saturday Night
Release Date: 29/5/2025
A dramatised, but still biographical, look back at the events leading up to the first ever Saturday Night Live. Lorne Michaels, played by Gabriel LaBelle, attempts to harness a number of talented but wet-behind-the-ears comedians for a live show, while facing pushback from the higher-ups at NBC. It’s an interesting reminder that even the most successful and beloved entertainment institutions started small. And, thankfully, it’s actually funny.
Spit
Release Date: 30/5/2025
A belated sequel to the 2003 Aussie comedy Gettin’ Square, Spit follows the trials and tribulations of Johnny Francis ‘Spit’ Spitieri: a retired criminal who, after spending the past two decades on the run, gets caught and sent to immigration detention. David Wenham, as Spit, owns every scene he’s in and plays the criminal-with-a-heart-of-gold to a tee. Check it out if you’re in the mood for an Australian comedy.
New Binge Documentaries & Events in May 2025
After dropping a number of docuseries and documentaries over the past few months, Binge is back at it again. Here are the best new Binge documentary releases to land in May 2025.
Gen Well
Release Date: 5/5/2025
A Foxtel Original, made in collaboration with Amcal Pharmacists, about how ordinary Aussies can improve their health and wellness. It being partially funded by a pharmacy chain makes it feel a bit like it could be one big sponsored health segment, but we won’t know whether that’s true until it launches on May 5.
2025 BAFTA Television Awards
Release Date: 12/5/2025
The British Academy Film and Television Arts Awards, better known as the BAFTAs, are back for another year of celebrations. This year, Alan Cumming—who has won several BAFTAs himself—will host the event, which promises to be a star-studded affair.
Billion Dollar Playground: Season 1
Release Date: 13/5/2025
Another series about how the rich live, dropped in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis. Great! If you’re someone who desperately wants to know how difficult rich people can be, I feel like Billion Dollar Playground is going to deliver what you want: it’s a look inside the lifestyles of the rich and the famous, through the lens of reality TV. Honestly, you probably already know if this is for you.
Honest Renovations: Season 1
Release Date: 26/5/2025
Hosted by Jessica Alba and Lizzy Mathis, Honest Renovations is a lighter-touch renovations show more focused on helping out families in need to a refreshed space, rather than knocking the whole thing down and starting over. Reviews have been mixed, what with it being pretty different from other renovations-style programming, but if you like lifestyle stuff this one will probably resonate with you.
Things to Consider for Binge
If you are looking to up your streaming game with a little help from Binge, there are a few things to consider beforehand. From pricing and subscription to exclusivity and cancellation, here are the need-to-know facts about the streaming service.
Binge Cost
Binge has two membership options; the Basic package costs AUD$10 per month, which grants you one stream at a time, while the Premium membership costs AUD$22 per month and allows for four simultaneous streams. While Binge falls under the same Streamotion umbrella company as Kayo Sports, Binge, Kayo and news platform Flash all operate as separate products, meaning that you will be billed per membership.
Australian Only
Binge is only available in Australia. The platform is owned and operated by an Australian entity, which enters into nationwide broadcasting agreements with different distribution companies. Essentially, this means that Stan will be blocked outside of the country.
