Originals to look for by format and mood
Netflix’s “originals” calendar covered more than new scripted series. It included documentary films and series, feature films, comedy, reality and children’s programming, limited series, and new seasons of returning shows. The dates offer a practical way to narrow the list without implying a source-backed ranking of quality.
- Documentary viewing: Knock Down the House (May 1), All in My Family (May 3), ReMastered: The Lion’s Share (May 10), Dying to Tell and Morir para contar (May 17), A Tale of Two Kitchens (May 22), After Maria (May 24), and Killer Ratings (May 31).
- New scripted series: Dead to Me and The Society were listed for May 3 and May 10, respectively; Alta Mar and WHAT/IF were listed for May 24; How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) for May 31.
- Films: Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile and The Last Summer were listed for May 3; Wine Country for May 10; See You Yesterday for May 17; and Always Be My Maybe for May 31.
- Returning seasons and parts: May listings included Lucifer season 4 (May 8), Easy season 3 (May 10), The Rain season 2 (May 17), She’s Gotta Have It season 2 (May 24), and Bad Blood season 2 (May 31), among others.
Other notable arrivals on the May calendar
The monthly schedule also included licensed catalog titles, which are distinct from Netflix originals. The May 2019 calendars listed Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Casper, the Matrix trilogy, Scream and Zombieland for May 1; Colony season 3 for May 2; Pose season 1 for May 10; Moonlight for May 21; and seasons 1–2 of Outlander for May 27. These are examples from the broader calendar, not a complete catalog list.
