Everything New On Netflix In May 2025 Including ‘Sirens,’ A ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ Followup, And ‘Train To Busan’

Netflix has brought their own version of May flowers to the table with a bouquet full of new movies and TV shows. That is to say, if you have already finished enjoying the Tom Hardy-starring Havoc and Neo-Western series Ransom Canyon from last month, do not fear because this platform is always adding more fuel to the streaming fire. That includes an instant classic of the zombie sub-genre that can be revisited in between The Last Of Us episodes.

Here’s everything coming to Netflix in May:

Sirens (Netflix series 5/22)

Another darkly comedic mystery series is upon us, this time starring Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock, who portray characters entrenched in murkier waters than expected at a luxury beach-type retreat. Does somebody smell a cult? Yes, probably. This project will explore class, power, and an attempted intervention when one character cannot seem to get enough of either of those concepts, and if you didn’t already guess from the title, there shall be cues from Greek mythology.

Love, Death & Robots (Netflix series 5/15)

Deadpool director Tim Miller and Mindhunter executive producer David Fincher, and supervising director Jennifer Yuh Nelson are back with another editing of bleeding-edge animation shorts, this time with stories about “dinosaur gladiators, messianic cats,” and “string-puppet rock stars.” No matter what, you’re sure to find experiences here that will both please and offend, so dive into the abyss, y’all.

Dept. Q (Netflix series 5/29)

The Queen’s Gambit won’t receive a second season, but writer and director Scott Frank is here with a followup show about a brilliant, sarcastic cop, Carl, who simply cannot get along with his colleagues. After he is exiled to a different unit, Carl builds his own support gang and takes on cold cases with much more success than expected. And as The Night Agent viewers can attest, basement banishments can really backfire on authority.

Big Mouth: Season 8 (Netflix series 5/23)

The hormone monsters are on the way out the door with this description: “In the end, our kids step into the harrowing unknown of the future, made less afraid of what’s to come because they have each other.” This season, guest stars include Cynthia Erivo, Quinta Brunson, Billy Porter, Ali Wong, Keke Palmer, Natasha Lyonne, Steve Buscemi, Nathan Fillion, Kristen Wiig, and Craig Robinson. They join regulars John Mulaney, Jordan Peele, Maya Rudolph, Andrew Rannells, Nick Kroll,Jason Mantzoukas, Fred Armisen, and (last but not least) Ayo Edebiri.

Train To Busan (Next Entertainment World film streaming on Netflix 5/2)

To celebrate the return of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s return as Joel and Ellie, we recently asked a pressing question about the scariest zombies in popular culture. This movie ranked among the top picks for obvious reasons, and now, you can stream it to your undead heart’s delight.
