Here's what's new on Netflix in May 2025: 9 best movies and shows to watch

Who's ready to laugh? Netflix, apparently, as its May 2025 slate is loaded with comedies, some involving heavy-hitters. The month kicks off with a Tina Fey limited series also starring Steve Carrell, Colman Domingo and Will Forte, then continues with a darkly comic thriller led by Julianne Moore, an apparently deranged anthology series from stand-up Tom Segura, Vince Vaughn playing opposite Lorraine Bracco and Susan Sarandon, and the final season of Nick Kroll's long-running animated series, Big Mouth. If you're more in the mood for drama, don't worry, there's plenty of that, too. Here are the nine new movies and shows that we're most excited about hitting Netflix this month. The Four Seasons Tina Fey remakes the 1981 Alan Alda comedy about three middle-aged couples whose friendship dynamic is rattled when one of them divorces. Fey, who also stars, frames the eight-episode miniseries around a series of group vacations, which sounds like her way of getting Netflix to fund some expensive getaways for her and her friends – but when the friends are Steve Carrell, Colman Domingo, Will Forte and Kerri Kenney-Silver, it's probably still worth watching. Premieres May 1 Britain and the Blitz Just when you thought you'd consumed everything about the bombing of Britain during World War II comes this six-episode docuseries, featuring first-person testimony from survivors and rather incredible-looking upscaled archival footage that looks like it's out of a Powell-Pressburger film. Should be a handy companion piece to Steve McQueen's Blitz on Apple TV+. Premieres May 5 Untold Netflix's tabloid-y sports docuseries returns to investigate such topics as NFL quarterback Brett Favre's off-field scandals, the 'raw meat' influencer known as the Liver King, and that time two Washington Wizards teammates pulled guns on each other in the locker room. Maybe they should've called it Dirty for 30. Anyone? Premieres May 6 Nonnas After losing his mother, a listless Brooklyn man (Vince Vaughn) recruits a crew of bickering Italian grandmothers to open a restaurant. Want to feel old? The nonnas are played by Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire and, in the Rue MccLanahan role, Susan Sarandon. Directed by Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Dear Evan Hansen), it's guaranteed to be achingly sentimental, but with that cast, it's hard to imagine it's not at least a little bit charming. Premieres May 9 Bad Thoughts I Think You Should Leave It To Tom Segura? Segura, the popular comic and podcast host, created this anthology series, which is being described as a sort of comedic Twilight Zone, with Segura starring and narrating à la Rod Serling. Words like 'dark' and 'twisted' are also being tossed about, which, if you're familiar with Segura's comedy, isn't surprising. Premieres May 13 Sirens Seems like every year now brings a new darkly comic satire of weird rich people who live near water. Here, a young woman (Meghann Fahy) returns to her island hometown to reunite with her sister (Milly Alcock) and finds her in thrall to an enigmatic socialite, played by Julianne Moore. Coming from Molly Smith Metzler, creator of 2021's much-acclaimed Maid, it should at least be a step up from last year's beachfront mystery, The Perfect Couple. And c'mon: It's Julianne Moore. Premieres May 22 Big Mouth season 8 Nick Kroll's relatably juvenile coming-of-age animated comedy comes to an end as the longest-running adult-oriented scripted series in Netflix history. How many more masturbation jokes can the show cram in before it wraps up? Plenty, we're guessing. Premieres May 23 Fear Street: Prom Queen Mean Girls meets Carrie in this spinoff from Netflix's three-part adaptation of Goosebump s author RL Stine's slightly scarier book series. Set in 1988, in the same cursed town where the previous films took place, a campaign for prom queen at a local high school is disrupted by an unexpected contender – just as the frontrunners start mysteriously disappearing. Premieres May 23 Dept. Q Craving another series involving a cranky, tortured detective investigating a grim cold case? Here's your fix. Based on books by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen, the show, from The Queen's Gambit co-creator Scott Frank, stars Matthew Goode as the aforementioned crank, who gets kicked down the totem pole of the Edinburgh police department following a tragic incident, only to discover he's got a knack for solving once-unsolvable mysteries.
