As we are preparing to finish 2021’s first quarter, Netflix still got its hands full and adding promising content to its library as always. From blockbuster movies to big superhero universes, let’s see which Netflix original shows are ahead of us releasing in May 2021 that Netflix has stated so far.

Netflix doesn’t seem to stop producing well-crafted stories along with already known and beloved ones which are taking us into whole different worlds during watching and gives us thrill in so many ways. No one can’t deny that truth, I think. And their Netflix originals lineup list for May looks very promising and exciting as well, as it seems the streaming platform will make us pass through whole different dimensions. And we have no doubt that we will find really hard to return from them once we get in, considering the dimensions of Netflix we already got in.

So let’s take a look at what is ahead of us in May. But remind that this preview may also change during April as well. So it’s not a complete lineup list yet and Netflix can add or change any detail about the shows which is also familiar to us.
