Provo, UT—May 1, 2025

Angel, the film & TV platform curated by nearly one million members of the Angel Guild, is announcing a fresh slate of feature films and shows will be added to the Angel.com and Angel app platforms during the month of May.

"Since reaching our goal of 1 million Guild Members in March, Angel is even more energized to continually offer a full slate of new projects that share inspiring stories and entertainment that amplify light,” says David Fischer, Director of Business Affairs and Acquisitions at Angel. "With the growth of the Guild, Angel was able to release 47 episodes, specials, and movies in April alone. With the Guild, Angel is able to efficiently select projects that will be both beloved and championed by the audience, and we are confident that this slate of films and shows will continue to give families trusted entertainment options.”

Also in May is the theatrical release of THE LAST RODEO. The film shares the story of an aging retired champion bull rider, and his daughter Sally who face a crisis that can only be solved by Joe entering and winning a bull riding competition. Joe must connect with a bullfighter and his estranged best friend of many years, Charlie Williams to enter the legends contest as the oldest contestant in history.  Despite strained relations with his strong-willed daughter, he must confront his demons and consider the greatest sacrifice for his family. 

THE LAST RODEO joins THE KING OF KINGS, that released on April 11 but is still enjoying a strong theatrical run in the US and regions around the world.
