Every movie and series coming to Netflix this week: May 2026
Netflix kicked off May on a high note with a truckload of new and old titles. But now that we’re warmed up better than before, having already enjoyed a weekend in its showbiz glory, it’s about time the streaming giant blows your mind once again with everything that’s coming to Netflix this week.
While we know just how much you hate Mondays, considering all that’s awaiting the arrival arc, hope this changes your heart for a while at least. Netflix plans to kick-start the entertainment marathon with the second season of Dr Seuss’s Horton! this time around.
But also coming to Netflix on May 4th are Lord of the Flies, Making of Lord of the Flies, The Rhythm of Revenge, and The Silent Twins. However, if you think that’s all, well, you’re wildly mistaken.
In the UK, Monday also marks the arrival of Bugsy, the 1991 biographical drama starring Warren Betty. So, save that date while you’re at it!
Up next on this week’s arrival arc, Netflix has lined up Countdown: Rousey vs Carano, Love Is Blind: Poland, and the second season of Worst Ex Ever for May 6th. For those wondering “what about May 5th,” it looks like Netflix is cutting some slack for you to catch up with all things new on streaming.
That said, coming to Netflix on May 7th are the Indonesian horror-comedy Comic 8 Revolution: Santet K4Bin35, alongside Ismael’s Ghosts. Joining these two on Thursday are Legends, My Dearest Assassin, USA 94: Brazil’s Return to Glory, Pitabe: The Series, and the second season of the beloved Nordic crime noir, The Chestnut Man, titled Hide and Seek.
Once you’re done with that, waiting for you on the other end is the highly anticipated Remarkably Bright Creatures, where a widow befriends a giant Pacific octopus at the aquarium where she works. Also coming to Netflix on May 8th are My Royal Nemesis and the third season of Thank You, Next.
Meanwhile, in the UK, Jennifer’s Body is also landing on Netflix on Friday itself. Although Netflix has left the arrival arc empty on Saturday, things are once again picking up pace on Sunday.
For those curious, Overload: The Sacred Kingdom and The Roast of Kevin Hart are scheduled for May 10th. So, in case you’re planning how to go on with the week, mark your calendars accordingly!
