New on Netflix This Week (May 19–25): From Forget You Not to She the People, 10 fresh drops to obsess over
New on Netflix This Week (May 19–25): Buckle up, stream queens and couch kings! Netflix is serving up a seriously dramatic buffet of new titles this week, and whether you're here for messy reality romance, jaw-dropping documentaries, or dark, twisty tales with a side of scandal, May 19 to 25 has something to make your eyeballs pop. From NFL legends being dragged to cult-like rich girl drama, here's what's hot, what's scandalous, and what you absolutely must binge this week:
1. Untold: The Fall of Favre (May 20)
The NFL legend Brett Favre may have the stats and the rings, but honey, this doc peels back the glitter to reveal a mess of explicit texts, legal drama, and welfare fraud. If you thought sports scandals were just deflated footballs and locker room gossip, think again. This is 'Untold' with claws out. Final film in the May Untold series. Watch. Cringe. Repeat.
2. Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark (May 21)
Six singles + motel room + old hookups = absolute chaos. This juicy reality show is your new late-night guilty pleasure, hosted by Chloe Veitch (Too Hot to Handle). Think: Love Island but with situationships. Will they cuff up or keep creeping at 1 AM? Spicy Mari is there to help… or stir the pot. Either way, you'll want popcorn (and a glass of wine).
3. Real Men (May 21)
Four dudes in their 40s, trying to catch up with feminism and modern-day manhood. This one's a feel-good comedy with a side of midlife awakening. Expect awkward convos, hilarious fails, and a few heart-tugs. Toxic masculinity is so last season, bro.
4. She the People (May 22)
A badass woman in power, a shady male governor, and family drama under a microscope. Yes, ma'am. Antoinette Dunkerson is not here to play. With a killer cast and Perry's classic flair, this 16-episode saga (8 now, 8 in August) dives deep into what it means to be a Black woman in politics. Grab your pearls, it's giving Olivia Pope meets Madea realness.
5. Sirens (May 22)
When your sister's new boss looks like she runs a high-end cult but also throws fabulous island parties, you intervene. Or try to. Simone's addicted to luxury and power, and Devon's about to go head-to-head with queen bee Michaela. It's dark. It's seductive. It's giving Succession x Gone Girl energy. Don't say we didn't warn you.
6. Forget You Not (May 23)
Comedian. Cashier. Wife. Daughter. Le-le's juggling it all, but life keeps throwing lemons and not the sweet kind. Between an emotionally distant husband and a rocky relationship with her father, she's forced to find herself… all over again. This one's tender, introspective, and quietly powerful. Grab tissues. Maybe two boxes.
7. Off Track 2 (May 23)
Lisa and her brother are all set for a gruelling 200-mile bike race. Enter: exes, old flames, and emotional hills tougher than the terrain. Add in a mid-life identity crisis, and you've got a Nordic rom-dramedy that proves love, like cycling, is messy, painful, and totally worth it (sometimes).
8. Big Mouth: Season 8 (Final Season) - May 23
The teens of Bridgeton High are back for one final hurrah. Expect hormone monsters, awkward firsts, and a cameo from Compassion (voiced by Queen Holly Hunter). From porn problems to cancel culture and existential dread, this farewell season is as cringe-worthy, gross, and heartwarming as it gets. Thanks for the trauma laughs, Big Mouth. You will be missed (but also, not really).
9. Air Force Elite: Thunderbirds (May 23)
Executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama (yep), this doc throws you into the cockpit with America's top pilots. The Thunderbirds don't just fly, they dazzle, risking everything in high-speed aerial acrobatics. Think Top Gun, but real. And terrifying. And kind of beautiful.
10. Fear Street: Prom Queen (May 23)
It's prom season at Shadyside High, and the mean girls are dropping like flies. With blood, glitter, and '80s vibes, this new chapter in the Fear Street franchise is pure horror camp. Think Carrie but bitchier. Who will wear the crown… and who will wear a body bag?
This week on Netflix, love gets messy, men get real, girls get scary, and jets defy physics. You? You just need snacks, WiFi, and a clear schedule. Happy streaming, drama lovers!
