The first day of the month also happens to be the busiest for Netflix releases, as dozens of TV shows and movies join the service’s library. This is when a vast majority of licensed titles hit the service, and May is no exception, as nearly 40 popular shows, movies, and documentaries are now available on Netflix as of May 1, 2025.
Of course, no one has the time to watch everything Netflix adds each month, which is why we’ve picked out a few you should consider streaming next time you settle in to watch something new. We’ve also included the full list of additions below:
The Four Seasons
As we noted earlier today, Tina Fey’s reboot of The Four Seasons is a hit with critics and is sure to make a splash on Netflix with an eye-popping cast that includes Fey, Steve Carell, Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani, Erika Henningsen, and Colman Domingo.
The Ocean’s Trilogy
Alright, we’re kind of cheating with this one, but hopefully you’ll all allow it since all three Ocean’s movies are streaming on Netflix. Steven Soderbergh directed all three ensemble heist films, and while the first is still the best, they’re all thoroughly entertaining. Be sure to at least add Ocean’s Eleven to your watch list before it leaves the streamer again.
Trainwreck
Amy Schumer’s Netflix movie Kinda Pregnant struck the wrong chord with audiences earlier this year, but now you can watch her much more successful rom-com Trainwreck instead. Schumer, Bill Hader, and LeBron James clearly had a blast making this one.
