Netflix has announced the platform’s full schedule of what’s coming in May, and it promises that subscribers have a lot of great content to look forward to, both in terms of freshly licensed titles and must-see originals. As always, there’s at least one major new movie dropping every week, with several much-anticipated TV shows scattered throughout the month, too. So, without further ado, let’s run through some of the highlights.
May 1st delivers 40 classic films and TV series, including the Back to the Future trilogy. The iconic sci-fi franchise tends to drift on and off Netflix every few months, so enjoy it while you can. Elsewhere, there’s 2009’s G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, animated threequel Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, legendary gangster flick Scarface, cult sci-fi Stargate and horror comedy Zombieland.
Moving on to originals, and May 7th sees the debut of Jupiter’s Legacy, a brand new superhero show based on the Mark Millar comic book series. A dark, mature spin on the genre, Netflix is no doubt hoping this could be their answer to Amazon’s The Boys. On May 13th, meanwhile, make sure to catch the fourth and final season of Castlevania, while the following day delivers drama The Woman in the Window starring Amy Adams.
Probably the highlight of the month’s haul for many, though, is Army of the Dead, the zombie/heist mash-up movie from Justice League director Zack Snyder. Dave Bautista features as a mercenary who leads his team on a heist of a Las Vegas casino… during the zombie apocalypse. Netflix has big plans for this one, too, with a spinoff and an animated series already in the works. Watch out for that on May 21st.
