There’s good news for those who still haven’t booked a Mother’s Day brunch spot: Netflix, HBO Now, Amazon Prime, and Hulu unveiled their May lineups and there’s enough quality content to keep even the most demanding of moms glued to their couch all month long.

Highlights on the film side include the Judd Apatow-directed Steve Carell and Paul Rudd comedy “40-Year-Old Virgin,” Maggie Gyllenhaal’s bondage-in-the-work-place flick “Secretary,” the “Baywatch” movie, much of Sylvester Stallone’s “Rocky” franchise, and a slew of 2018 Oscar-winners, including “I, Tonya,” “Coco,” and “Dunkirk.”

On the TV side, HBO will have fresh episodes of “Silicon Valley” and Bill Hader’s “Barry” while Netflix will add new seasons of DC’s “Arrow,” “The Flash,” and more. Additionally, Howard will make his much-anticipated appearance on Netflix’s “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman.”

May also means music and comedy specials aplenty, including a Steve Martin and Martin Short Netflix team-up and HBO’s 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, featuring the King of All Media and Bon Jovi, among others.

Of course, those are just a few offerings to get you through the month. Here’s the complete list of what’s coming to Netflix, HBO, Hulu, and Amazon Prime in May 2018:
