Sling's May lineup brings the fun (and sports) back after major TV character deaths
After some recent (and devastating) character deaths in top TV shows, I'm going to lean into some lighter content for the foreseeable future. Thankfully, the third season of 'And Just Like That...' is headed our way, along with the second season of Conan O'Brien's travel show and, of course, plenty of live sports. It's all available on Sling, where I can pretend that Bobby Nash's TV funeral isn't taking place today. Unfortunately for the Joel Miller fans out there, Sling might carry a few reminders of your loss.
So, if you're like me and needing a TV-escape, Sling has a couple new seasons hitting their schedule this month. Plus, you can catch plenty of live sports from the NHL playoffs to the start of the WNBA season and Paige Bueckers' professional career.
Here's what to watch this May on Sling, from live sports to new TV shows and movies:
Live Sports on Sling in May
- NBA playoffs
- NHL playoffs
- WNBA season tipoff
- French Open tennis

- NASCAR
