The TV Answer Man = Follow me on X.

Netflix this week (May 19-25, 2025) plans to add 15 new shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the highlights:

The Fall of Favre – Netflix Sports Documentary
Release Date: May 20
The streamer’s Untold series will tackle the troubled post-NFL life of former Green Bay QB Brett Favre which includes accusations of welfare fraud.

Sarah Silverman: Postmorten
Release Date: Tuesday, May 20
Caustic comedienne Sarah Silverman cast barbs on everything from deathbed binge watching to ill-timed farts. (Are there any other kind?) New Netflix original stand-up comedy special.

Sirens – Netflix Original Series
Release Date: Thursday, May 22
Julianne Moore stars as a billionaire whose hold on a female employee (Milly Alcock) becomes the talk of a ritzy resort in this five-episode dark comedy. Think White Lotus, but shorter. Meghann Fahy, a White Lotus alumni, also stars as the employee’s older sister.
