Netflix Originals Spring Preview 2017
April 2017
April 2017 has a lot of Netflix Original debuts in store with us but we’ll start with a few returning series first. First up, the second half of the first season for The Get Down will be coming back. The music drama set in the 70’s has bags of style and we can’t wait to see how Baz Luhrmann (the series creator) wraps up the first season.
A very long awaited return of Mystery Science Theater will be making its way to Netflix in April thanks to a successful crowd-funding campaign. Complete with new and old faces, we can’t wait to see what they’ve done with the show. Another new series is the adaptation of the Girl Boss autobiography which sees the rise of a multi-million dollar franchise selling vintage clothes.
Other Netflix Originals to look out for in April:
- Louis CK – Standup Special (April 4th)
- Chewing Gum – Season 2 (April 4th)
- Bill Nye Saves the World – Season 1 (April 21st)
- Sand Castle – Movie (April 21st)
- Dear White People (April 28th)

May 2017
Three massive returning Netflix Original series is going to make May a fantastic month for originals. First up and shortly after it’s Christmas special, we will finally be getting the second full season of Sense8 (May 5th). The sci-fi series has gone through a few changes, but the Christmas special gave us hope that the show is still infinitely watchable.
Next up, Ellie Kemper is reprising her role for the third time as Kimmy Schmidt, and her past is creeping back into her present with the Reverend back. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season 3 will be on Netflix May 19th. Finally, all hell is breaking lose in the White House for House of Cards season 5 (May 30th).
Other Netflix Originals to look out for in May:

A full roundup of Netflix Originals coming in May will release sometime next week here on What’s on Netflix.
June 2017
Netflix has only announced a few originals for June so far but don’t worry, they’re going to be great. First of is everyone’s favorite Orange is the New Black back for its fifth season! Litchfield is in disarray and a full blown riot is about to take place but one important question has to be answered. Does she pull the trigger? We’ll find out on June 9th.
GLOW is our second highlight of the month scheduled to land on June 23rd. It comes from the creator of Orange is the New Black and is centered around 1980’s female wrestling and stars Alison Brie.
Disney Movies Coming Spring 2017
Note: This is for the United States only. Canada gets new Disney releases but dates will differ from below.
Queen of Katwe
Release Date: April 25th
Of the three Disney releases, Queen of Katwe is by far the most different. It’s a live action movie about a girl who uses chess to escape the everyday struggles of growing up in an impoverished country. The movie first released on 21st October 2016.
Marvel’s Doctor Strange
Expected May 2017
The second Marvel movie to come to Netflix as part of the new Disney deal looks to be Doctor Strange. The movie which offers and introduction to the Doctor played by Benedict Cumberbatch has some of the most impressive visuals you’ll ever see in a Marvel movie and gives hints about how he ties into the MCU in the future.
Moana
Expected June 2017
The biggest Disney hit since Frozen? That’s what many people are saying about Moana and if you didn’t manage to catch it in the cinema last November, then it’ll likely come to Netflix within the next three months.
We haven’t included Star Wars: Rogue One because our predictor says it’s most likely going to release in July/August 2017 but it could be pushed forward.
