Netflix is preparing for another packed month of additions and removals in May 2026, with a lineup that stretches across blockbuster films, returning original series, documentaries, live events, and international productions. From major licensed arrivals like Nope and The Breakfast Club to returning Netflix originals such as Devil May Cry: Season 2 and The Four Seasons: Season 2, the service is continuing its broad approach to content as competition in the streaming market remains intense.
The month also carries a heavy emphasis on live programming and sports-related content, including Formula 1 events, comedy specials centered around Kevin Hart, and several football documentaries. At the same time, viewers will want to keep an eye on the titles scheduled to leave the platform, as movies like Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Train to Busan are all nearing their final days on the service. Some departures are more surprising than others, honestly, especially considering how often certain films appear to rotate in and out of streaming libraries.
Below is a complete breakdown of every movie, show, documentary, and live event coming to and leaving Netflix throughout May 2026.

Netflix’s May 2026 schedule reflects how quickly streaming catalogs continue to evolve. While several recognizable films and series are preparing to exit the service, the month also introduces a wide mix of originals, international productions, live broadcasts, and classic films that should keep subscribers busy well into summer. There is a little bit of everything this month, perhaps too much for anyone to realistically finish in a few weekends, but that has become part of the streaming experience itself.
