It’s a new month, and there’s so many titles both new and old rolling out to streaming platforms almost every day! Here’s what’s coming to a few of the most popular streamers this May…
On Netflix, users can look forward to the arrival of critically acclaimed films like “Forrest Gump“, “Crazy, Stupid, Love“, “Dirty Harry“, and “When Harry Met Sally…“, which are all premiering on May 1. Netflix Original films arriving on the platform include “Senior Year” starring Rebel Wilson (May 13) and “Operation Mincemeat” (May 10), and original Netflix series “The Circle” and “Bling Empire” will be returning for their fourth and second seasons, respectively. And, a long awaited new season: after nearly three years, “Stranger Things” will be returning for its fourth season, with the first volume premiering on the streamer on May 27.
Disney+ customers have several new movies to anticipate this month, such as musical comedy “Sneakerella” (May 13), which puts a modern spin on the classic fairy tale, in addition to live-action/animated “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers” (May 20), which will continue the story introduced in the 1988 animated Disney Channel series.
