Netflix’s May 2021 looks a whole lot like the last year of Netflix: another avalanche of original content coming to an algorithm near you. The company has more than 40 original television series, movies, and documentaries lined up for the next 31 days, including the second part of Selena: The Series, the return of Aziz Ansari’s Master Of None, and, of course, Zack Snyder’s long-awaited first non-superhero film in more than a decade, Army Of The Dead. Audiences will also finally get to see The Woman In The Window, director Joe Wright’s long-delayed follow-up to his Oscar-winner, The Darkest Hour. Originally slated for release in October 2019, the film saw a series of delays due to some bad test screenings and a global pandemic that bumped the Amy Adams vehicle out of theaters and onto Netflix.
In addition to all that beautiful new content (and it really is beautiful, isn’t it?), Netflix is beefing up its catalog, adding the Back To The Future trilogy, G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, and Notting Hill. And if Army Of The Dead isn’t enough blood and viscera for fans of the undead, Netflix is adding a pair of Resident Evil movies (Afterlife and Extinction) and 2009's Zombieland to the chamber to prep audiences for Snyder’s gore-fest. Of course, this also means saying goodbye to some old friends. Goodbye, Trumbo, who’s taking his bathtub and waterproof typewriter and leaving Netflix on May 18. Dads in their 60s everywhere will miss you. Apologies, dads. Please enjoy a third season of The Kominsky Method in this trying time (though, a severe lack of Alan Arkin is definitely going to bum some out).
