We made it, you guys. At last, we're back to warm weather and sun after 7 p.m. — I bet the last thing on your mind is what to watch on Netflix this month, but hey, maybe you're feeling a little vampy after seeing which slayer is heading to Paramount+ in May and want to spend some time indoors?
We're starting off strong with Brokeback Mountain on May 1, which will also usher in Van Helsing, Shutter Island and Crazy, Stupid, Love. We'll get new seasons of a couple Netflix originals in Selling Sunset (May 3) and Bridgerton (May 16, same day as Jaws, Les Misérables, 8 Mile and BlacKkKlansman), while the latest cult true-crime doc, Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult, lands on May 29.
Honestly, the rest of month is chock full of comedians and actors — Jerry Seinfeld, John Mulaney, Amy Schumer, Shane Gillis, James Marsden — who have all kind of been bummers lately, and there's a show called Toughest Forces on Earth that legitimately looks like military propaganda, so maybe stick with the Roast of Tom Brady, airing live on May 5, where at least everyone's honest about how shitty they are. There's also a fuck-ton of anime to choose from, as always.
With that in mind, we'll be saying bye to Parasite, Charlie's Angels, Shrek and a handful of other cinematic masterpieces throughout the month, so get your final watches in now on those while you still cam.
Take a look at what's streaming on Netflix in May below, and don't forget, it's gonna be May over at Disney+, Paramount+ and Prime Video as well.
