May is a a huge month f0r Netflix additions, particularly on the original content front.
We get new seasons of popular Netflix originals such as House of Cards, Master of None, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Sense8, and the final season of Bloodline. There’s even a Netflix movie starring Brad Pitt, titled War Games. Other films being added in May include Doctor Strange, Forrest Gump, and Inglourious Basterds.
But I’m sorry to say that there are some big losses as well. The Jurassic Park trilogy leaves us, as does every season of Scrubs, and seasons 1-5 of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (I’m particularly disappointed about this one and haven’t been able to get an answer for why it’s leaving).
Here’s a full look at what’s coming to Netflix in May. (I’ve put some notable titles in bold to try to help you out, but keep in mind there may be some selections you find more important than I do):
