LOS GATOS, Calif. — Netflix has released its list of new shows and movies coming to the streaming site in May, which is perfect timing for those stands who are extending coronavirus stay-at-home orders. The May list includes several brand new comedy specials, documentaries and binge-worthy shows.
In the first three months of 2020, the streaming platform added 16 million new global subscribers. Now, the new members are probably looking for content.
Luckily, Netflix is adding dozens of new series like the comedy "Space Force" starring Steve Carell, the new "Hollywood" miniseries from Ryan Murphy, a second season of the popular show "Dead to Me," and a new romance action/comedy "The Lovebirds," starring Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani.
It's even releasing four new comedy specials with Jerry Seinfeld, Kenny Sebastian, Patton Oswalt and Hannah Gadsby.
