Everything Coming to and Leaving Netflix in May
Netflix just released its list of the movies and TV shows coming in May.
We're counting down to the release of Wine Country starring Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph.
Plus, see what shows you'll want to catch ASAP before they're removed.
Netflix is bringing the heat with a new lineup of musicals, original films, and series coming in May. The month is shaping up to be a funny one, with acclaimed comedian Wanda Sykes returning to the stage in her new special, Wanda Sykes: Not Normal.
And who needs the sun when you've got legendary trio and Saturday Night Live alums Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, and Amy Poehler coming together for one hilarious weekend road trip to Napa valley in the Netflix original, Wine Country? You can also plan to binge-watch series like Charmed, She's Gotta Have It, Pose, and Nailed It! Also, don't forget to learn the details of the complicated case involving the Central Park Five in the Ava DuVernay-directed docuseries, When They See Us.
But several titles are also leaving Netflix in May, so you only have a few more days to catch Jaws, The Notebook, Sixteen Candles, The Birdcage, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind one last time. Here are the highlights, plus every single title arriving to and leaving in May.
Revolutionary Road, May 1
After playing the tragic lovers Rose and Jack in the 1997 movie Titanic, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio reunited again for Revolutionary Road. The 2008 romance film centers around a married couple, April and Frank, who are struggling individually and in their marriage.
Knock Down the House, May 1
Director Rachel Lears follows these four female Democratic candidates who ran for office in the 2018 midterm elections: Amy Vilela in Nevada, Cori Bush in Missouri, Paula Jean Swearengin in West Virginia, and Congressional winner Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York.
Dead to Me, May 3
Christina Applegate returns to the small screen as a grieving widow in this dark comedy series. Applegate stars as Jen, an Orange County realtor whose husband died in a hit-and-run accident. At a grief support group, she finds a friend in the equally sarcastic and offbeat Jen (Linda Cardellini).
Wine Country, May 10
For her directorial debut, Amy Poehler enlisted the help of fellow comedic legends and SNL all-stars Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, and Rachel Dratch. Using inspiration from their real road trips, the four women, along with Paula Pell and Emily Spivey, go on a boozy trip to Napa Valley.
Wanda Sykes: Not Normal, May 21
Wanda Sykes has been a force in comedy for 30 years. And now, the Emmy-nominated actress is bringing her unique brand of humor and cultural critique to the stage for her first Netflix stand-up special. Sykes will discuss politics and social issues during the one-hour show.
She's Gotta Have It: Season 2, May 24
Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise) is back and feistier than ever in season 2 of the reboot of Spike Lee's original 1986 film. Expect even more relationship drama and artistic setbacks as Nola heads to Puerto Rico to find herself.
The Perfection, May 24
As you wait for an update about whether season 3 of Dear White People is or isn't happening, its star, Logan Browning, can tide you over with this suspense thriller. She and Allison Williams of Get Out fame are cello musicians who suspiciously reconnect after a long hiatus.
Always Be My Maybe, May 31
Ali Wong and Randall Park star as Sasha and Marcus, two childhood sweethearts who stop talking to each other after a terrible argument. 15 years later, they randomly run into each other in San Francisco and quickly discover that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
When They See Us, May 31
Produced by Oprah and directed by DuVernay, this four-part dramatized series documents the 1989 rape of a white woman in New York's Central Park, and the subsequent 1990 trials of the five Black and Latino teenagers wrongly convicted of the crime.
