Netflix is celebrating summer a little earlier than usual this year with a parade of new movies and TV shows set to debut in May.
The streamer has lined up a slew of high-profile new and returning TV shows, with The Four Seasons season 2 starring Tina Fey and Colman Domingo, a new Lord of the Flies adaptation and the sports docuseries Rafa at the top of Watch With Us‘ list.
Netflix is also premiering some great new original movies, like Remarkably Bright Creatures with Sally Field and Lewis Pullman, and a Martin Short documentary.
