It’s safe to say that the COVID content drought is just about over. Netflix prides itself on being the most, let’s say, prolific streaming service in the game. With its list of new releases for May 2021 it’s once again revealing why.

There is a lot going on for Netflix this month and it all starts with some high profile original films. Zack Snyder’s latest zombie effort Army of the Dead premieres on May 21. That will be preceded by Monster, the adaptation of Walter Dean Myers’ classic YA book, on May 7 and Amy Adams Rear Window-esque The Woman in the Window on May 14.

Netflix’s TV offerings in May 2021 are just as packed. The adaptation of Millarworld superhero comic Jupiter’s Legacy arrives on May 7. That’s followed by the final season of Castlevania on May 13, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous season 3 on May 21, and the second half of Lucifer season 5 on May 28. What’s this we spy with our little eye on the schedule? Is that another season of Aziz Ansari’s Master of None lined up for this month? That appears to be the case. So too will Ryan Murphy’s latest effort, HALSTON, premiere in May.

Of course, every month also needs a refreshing of library titles. Notable films arriving to Netflix’s stream on May 1 are Back to the Future, Zombieland, and Scarface.
