New on Netflix in May 2021: All the new movies and shows

Netflix has a hugely crowded slate on the way, with tons of Netflix Originals set to hit the streamer this May. If you're missing seeing superheroes on the small screen, there's Jupiter's Legacy, a superhero show based on Mark Millar and Frank Quitely's comic book series of the same name. Amy Adams' The Woman in the Window also finally arrives this month, as does Zack Snyder's new film Army of the Dead. Then there's Love, Death & Robots: Volume 2, Money, Explained, and Selena: The Series season 2. These are far from the only Originals landing this month, though – and we've got the full list below. 

We've rounded up everything arriving to Netflix this May in both the US and the UK, so you can start planning your monthly bingewatches whatever side of the pond you're on. We've also selected the biggest highlights of this month to give you a starting point. Scroll on to see everything new on Netflix this May. 

Jupiter's Legacy – May 7

A brand new superhero TV show, Jupiter's Legacy intercuts two timelines to detail how super-team the Union formed in '20s and '30s America – and why the second generation of heroes is struggling to live up to their lofty ideals. It's based on Mark Millar and Frank Quitely's comic book series of the same name, and the cast includes Josh Duhamel, Ben Daniels, Matt Lanter, and Leslie Bibb. Expect plenty of action, plot twists, and superheroes wrestling with difficult ethical questions. 

The Woman in the Window – May 14

The long awaited The Woman in the Window finally arrives May 14. Starring Amy Adams, the film follows Adams's character Anna, a child psychologist who is agoraphobic and watches the family across from her home through the window. However, everything goes wrong when she is witness to a shocking crime. Alongside Adams, The Woman in the Window stars Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie, Wyatt Russell, Brian Tyree Henry, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Fred Hechinger. 

Army of the Dead – May 21

Zack Snyder's next film after Zack Snyder's Justice League is Army of the Dead, which hits Netflix on May 21. The film follows a group of mercenaries who travel into Las Vegas to steal a massive reward – the catch is, the city is infested with zombies, after an undead outbreak was quarantined to Vegas. The cast includes Dave Bautista, Matthias Schweighöfer, Ella Purnell, Tig Notaro, and Garret Dillahunt. There's also a prequel movie helmed by Schweighöfer on the way, as well as an animated spinoff.
