Youtube Netflix

May is nearly here, and with most of the nation still stuck in quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you might be looking for something to watch while waiting for everything to reopen. If so, Netflix has you covered – May is packed full of top-notch, binge worthy TV shows, critically-acclaimed movies and new documentaries to keep you occupied during quarantine.

Ryan Murphy’s new limited series Hollywood premieres on May 1, while the long-awaited Steve Carell comedy Space Force airs at the end of the month on May 29. Fans of the Ellie Kemper sitcom Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will also get a brand new special, titled Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend, which airs May 12.

However, in true Netflix form, the streaming service will also be removing several titles throughout the month as well, so Heavy wanted to give readers a chance to catch up on favorite shows and films before they’re gone. Here’s what’s coming to, and leaving, Netflix in May, 2020:
