Netflix next month (May 2025) plans to add 99 new releases to its streaming lineup. Here are the three most interesting, in my humble opinion:

The Four Seasons – Netflix Original Miniseries
Release Date: May 1
Steve Carell and Tina Fey star in this adaption of the 1981 movie of the same name which featured Alan Alda and Carol Burnett. The eight-episode Netflix series follows three married couples who embark on a weekend getaway only to discover that one of the pairs is getting a divorce. The supporting cast includes Will Forte and Colman Domingo and even the 89-year-old Mr. Alda makes an appearance. If you like breezy comedy with a biting edge (Fey also co-wrote the series), this one is for you.

Untold: Shooting Guards and The Fall of Favre – Netflix Sports Documentaries
Release Date: May 6 and May 20
Did you know that two players on the Washington Wizards once pointed loaded guns at each other in the locker room? On May 6, Netflix examines the bizarre incident that took place roughly 15 years ago with new interviews with the participants, Javaris Crittenton and Gilbert Arenas. On May 20, the streamer’s Untold series will also tackle the troubled post-NFL life of former Green Bay QB Brett Favre.

American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden – Netflix Original Documentary
Release Date: May 14
The Netflix three-part documentary will feature interviews with government leaders and military personnel who played a role in the hunt for the man behind the 9/11 terrorist attack on the United States.
