What’s new on Netflix in May 2017? We’ve got a list of Netflix’s new releases now streaming!
Netflix continues to ramp up the number of the originals they’re releasing. As you’ll see by reviewing the below list, May 2017 holds a ton of Netflix exclusives.
Of course, the mother of all Netflix Originals is on this month’s list: House of Cards is back for season 5 and premieres at the end of May. But there are a few other big Originals coming back as well: Master of None, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Sense8 are all dropping new seasons in the next few weeks!
Outside of the exclusives, we’re getting a double shot of Benedict Cumberbatch this month: Both Doctor Strange and the latest season of Sherlock are streaming on Netflix in May 2017.
