What’s Coming to Netflix in May 2025

Another month is around the corner, and welcome to your first early look ahead at all the new movies, series, and games we know that are coming to Netflix in the US throughout May 2025. It’s led by licensed movies like The Twilight Saga, Netflix’s new Fear Street movie, and new series like Sirens and Bad Thoughts.

A few quick notes. This list is primarily for Netflix US, except for Netflix Original titles, which are mostly global releases. All titles and release dates listed below are subject to change, and this post is a work in progress. It will be constantly updated throughout April and into May as and when we learn of new releases. We expect a complete list from Netflix on either April 16th or 23rd.
