Netflix May 2017 New Movies, TV Shows Review: Netflix Originals, Hit Hollywood Films Coming Next Month

With summer just around the corner, Netflix has announced its lineup of movies, documentaries and TV shows coming to the website in May. Next month, the streaming giant will offer a broad range of original TV shows and some of Hollywood's most popular hits, including "Fantastic Four," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Jurassic Park." Hit TV series "House of Cards," which returns for its fifth season, is also coming to Netflix next month.

Netflix takes viewers by surprise as it brings dozens of new titles that they probably didn't even know were coming. But while it brings in new titles next month, viewers shouldn't expect the new titles to take over the network's original programming, as May also marks the big return of some of Netflix's original titles like "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," "Sense8," "Bloodline," "Master of None," "F is for Family" and "Chelsea."

Other titles coming to Netflix are "Don't Think Twice," "American Experience: The Big Burn," and satire war film "War Machine," which features a touch of dark comedy. Netflix is also releasing two animated films and British comedy "Mindhorn," which is described by Rotten Tomatoes as "a cult comedy classic in waiting.
