Streaming goliath Netflix is having a pretty great ride these days. After taking a nosedive over fears that the rise of HBO Now would steal its thunder, Netflix stock has skyrocketed on news that CEO Reed Hastings’ plan to conquer the world (and expand into 200 countries) is going swimmingly. Wide critical acclaim for the service’s new hit series from Marvel, Daredevil, which recently got renewed for a second season, didn’t hurt either.
While May’s headlining coming attractions are a bit sparse, there are, of course, a few intriguing new titles we’re looking forward to next month. Those include the new Netflix original starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as sunset wives whose husbands leave them for each other, Grace and Frankie, as well as the Oscar-nominated stop-motion animation film about a boy “abducted” by strange underground creatures, The Boxtrolls.
May also brings an unabashed new story that digs deep into the amateur porn industry through the eyes of several young women, Hot Girls Wanted, as well as a new series that will break the Netflix binge-friendly mold called Between, which focuses on a town “under siege from a mysterious disease” that only affects those over the age of 21. Unlike most Netflix fare, the Canadian-made 6-part series will be introduced one week at a time starting May 21.
Other additions worthy of mention include the brilliant WWII satire from Quentin Tarantino, Inglorious Basterds, season 3 of the acclaimed crime thriller Longmire, as well as a film with perhaps the most ridiculous premise we’ve ever encountered in the zombie genre, Zombeavers, which is about (you guessed it) zombie beavers.
Perhaps just as noteworthy are all the titles that you’ll want to catch before they take flight next month, as it were. Included in the long list are titles like Airplane!, Airplane II: The Sequel, and Flight (there seems to be a theme here) as well as RoboCop, Skyfall, and Valkyrie, just to name a few.
