April showers bring May Netflix offerings, and this month's lineup is warming things up with new episodes of your favourite series, documentaries, comedies, action movies and more.
First things first: yes, Stranger Things is finally coming back with new episodes. However, you will have to wait most of the month to enter into the upside-down: Season 4, Volume 1 premieres on May 27.
If you're not too fond of waiting, Netflix has plenty more offerings to kick off the month, with 1917, The Hunt, Crank, Crank 2, Seed of Chucky, Kung Fu Panda 3 and a ton of other blockbusters leading the charge on May 1.
We'll finally get Mike Myers playing basically every character in his new series The Pentaverate on May 5, which is when animal baby-centric feel-good nature documentary Wild Babies also lands on the platform. Weekend watch Jackass 4.5 will arrive just ahead of Victoria Day on May 20, in case your own stunt-filled cottage plans fall through.
Reality fans will get a new helping of The Circle, with Season 4 making its debut on May 4. New episodes land every week with this instalment wrapping up just after the long weekend on May 23. (Reminder: Netflix's reality casting platform is still open for submissions, if you feel like going IRL and joining in on The Circle's madness for yourself.)
All that and more can be seen in the trailer below. While you're marking your calendar, take a peek at what Disney+ Canada has to offer in May.
