It goes without saying that the pandemic is keeping everyone stuck inside with little to do besides watch television, play video games, and read. Here’s some great news, though: There’s plenty coming to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon Prime in May, so put away the books and the games, and get ready to binge some excellent shows and films.
On Netflix, you can catch some notable comedy entries next month like the Jim Carrey-led Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Fun with Dick and Jane, while action-horror fans may be delighted to hear that multiple Underworld films will be dropping on the service. The lesser-known Jarhead trilogy will be available on the 1st, and the first two pics in the Back to the Future trilogy will join the third film for streaming. Dozens more movies and shows will join these as well to ensure that Netflix reigns as the dominant streaming service in terms of total available content, as usual.
Over on Hulu, meanwhile, you’ll want to check out the classic crime drama Goodfellas and Tom Hanks’ emotional rollercoaster The Green Mile early in the month before the Elton John biopic, Rocketman, lands on the service on May 22nd.
Elsewhere, Disney+ will continue expanding their collection of kid-friendly content, including Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the series finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the popular live-action classic George of the Jungle.
Lastly, Amazon Prime is dropping The Goldfinch and a handful of Friday the 13th sequels early on, and if you don’t have a Hulu account, you can also catch Rocketman on here as well on May 22nd.
For more, here’s the full list of what’s on the way next month. It’s a long one, so strap in…
