Netflix’s May 2025 Must-Watch Lineup
May brings a wave of new content to Netflix, with stories ranging from laugh-out-loud comedies to edge-of-your-seat thrillers. There’s a little something for everyone, whether you’re into big-name casts or hidden gems.
I’m pumped about this month’s mix of originals, classic movies, and a live event to close things out. Let’s dive into some of the standout titles hitting the service.
‘The Four Seasons’ (May 1)
Tina Fey co-created and stars in ‘The Four Seasons,’ a comedy series remaking the 1981 film. Alongside Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, and Will Forte, Fey explores three couples whose group vacations get messy after a breakup. It’s funny and heartfelt.
Debuting on May 1, this show nails friendship and love with a great cast. The humor and drama make it a solid watch for comedy fans looking for something fresh.
‘The Royals’ (May 9)
‘The Royals’ is an Indian romantic drama starring Bhumi Pednekar and Ishaan Khatter. It’s a fiery love story about a cocky prince and a driven entrepreneur who butt heads but can’t resist each other. Think ‘Bridgerton’ with a vibrant cultural twist and plenty of chemistry.
Dropping on May 9, this series delivers steamy romance and gorgeous visuals. Pednekar and Khatter spark on screen, making it a great pick for fans of heartfelt, sweeping dramas.
‘Love, Death & Robots’ Season 4 (May 15)
‘Love, Death & Robots’ returns with its fourth season, an anthology of animated shorts created by Tim Miller and David Fincher. Each episode delivers standalone stories blending sci-fi, horror, and dark humor, with styles ranging from hyper-realistic to wildly abstract. The series is known for its bold visuals and top-tier voice talent.
Hitting Netflix on May 15, this season promises more mind-bending tales and stunning animation. I’m excited for the unpredictable mix of genres and the creative risks the show always takes. It’s a must-watch for fans of anthology storytelling and cutting-edge animation.
‘Sirens’ (May 22)
‘Sirens’ is a sharp dark comedy series led by Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, and Kevin Bacon. Created by Molly Smith Metzler, it centers on a woman suspicious of her sister’s ties to a rich socialite. The drama unfolds over a tense weekend at a lavish estate.
Arriving on May 22, this show blends suspense with clever humor. The cast’s chemistry and twisty story make it a standout. It’s a great choice for anyone who loves a mix of wit and mystery.
‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ (May 23)
Based on R.L. Stine’s ‘Fear Street’ books, ‘Prom Queen’ is a horror film directed by Matt Palmer. Set in 1988, it tracks high school girls competing for prom queen as creepy deaths haunt their town. India Fowler and Suzanna Son star.
Landing on May 23, this movie offers retro horror vibes and teen drama. It’s packed with slasher thrills for fans of the ‘Fear Street’ series. Expect chills and a nostalgic edge.
‘Big Mouth’ Season 8 (May 23)
The animated hit ‘Big Mouth’ ends with its eighth season, created by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Jennifer Flackett, and Mark Levin. This Emmy winner follows teens tackling puberty with bold humor and real emotions. Guest stars like Quinta Brunson and Cynthia Erivo join the fun.
Premiering on May 23, the final season mixes raunchy laughs with touching moments. I’m eager to see how these characters wrap up. It’s a perfect binge for fans ready to say goodbye.
‘The Wild Robot’ (May 24)
Directed by Chris Sanders, ‘The Wild Robot’ is an Oscar-nominated animated film. Lupita Nyong’o voices Roz, a robot who lands on a wild island, bonds with animals, and raises a young gosling. Pedro Pascal and Kit Connor round out the stellar voice cast.
Hitting Netflix on May 24, this movie is a visual treat with a warm heart. Its story of family and survival hits home for all ages. I’m excited to share this one with friends.
