Netflix: New Movies and TV Shows Arriving in May 2019

It’s that time again! As we near the end of April, Netflix is ready to start looking ahead to May, revealing which movies and TV shows will be added to the streaming service next month. As always, the new list is packed with a mix of beloved titles and new Netflix originals.

Of course, one of the top titles that everyone is looking forward to in May is Lucifer, the popular series based on the Vertigo comics of the same name. After being cancelled by FOX following its third season, it was picked up by Netflix for a fourth installment. It’s been off the air for almost a year, but new episodes of Lucifer are set to arrive on Netflix on May 8th.

Also arriving in May is the talked-about Ted Bundy biopic Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, starring Zac Efron. The distribution rights to the film were purchased by Netflix at Sundance this year and will make its debut on May 3rd.
