Everything new on Netflix in May 2025, catch my favorite animated movie of 2024 and more

Last month, Netflix bulked out its library of movies and shows with highly anticipated new shows like Love on the Spectrum, which I devoured in one sitting, and Black Mirror season 7, which was certainly an improvement from its preceding season. Netflix's May 2025 schedule is another packed list, with a particularly big emphasis on movies.

May 1 alone is inundated with some stand-out titles including the entire Twilight saga and The Lego Movie (2014), however recent Oscar nominee and my favorite animated movie of last year The Wild Robot (2024) will find its home on Netflix on May 24. This also gives you an excuse to revisit my interview with Chris Sanders, the movie's director.

Of course it wouldn't be a classic Netflix schedule without a good handful of original titles, and horror fans should be in delight that another movie in the popular Fear Street series is coming soon. The fourth movie, Fear Street: Prom Queen, lands on Netflix on May 23, continuing the platform's original series of RL Stine adaptations.

But Netflix hasn't forgotten about its original shows either, and one of its biggest TV title arriving this month is Big Mouth which is returning for its eighth and final season, making it one of the longest running original shows on one of the best streaming services.
