Anyone wondering when the warm spring weather will arrive might end up reconsidering after seeing Netflix’s May blossoms (read: shows). The second season of Justin Simien’s superb Dear White People series arrives May 4, while the first half of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season four hits the streamer at the end of the month on May 30. Obviously, Netflix cares enough about your muscle tone to set your two binge-watches weeks apart.
Next month will also feature the debuts of two new Netflix talk/topical shows: A Little Help with the legendary Carol Burnett (May 4), and recent White House Correspondents Dinner host Michelle Wolf’s The Break (5/27). If that weren’t enough to make you keep the curtains drawn, there are multiple new comedy specials on the way, including Steve Martin And Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest Of Your Life, John Mulaney: Kid Gorgeous Live At Radio City, Hari Kondabolu: Warn Your Relatives, Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife, and the recently-announced Tig Notaro Happy To Be Here. There are also new episodes of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman (Tina Fey and Howard Stern are on deck) and The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale, the latter of which wraps its first season on May 13.
But just because April will be over doesn’t mean that a little rain won’t fall next month, so prepare to bid a digital farewell to GoodFellas, The Host, To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar, and more. The complete list is below this sizzle reel. Netflix originals are denoted with a single asterisk, while Netflix films are denoted with two.
