What to Watch on Netflix MAY 2025?

May on Netflix brings a solid dose of new releases that will be perfect for long evenings. Among the premieres, you will find emotionally charged love stories, black comedies set in luxurious resorts, the return of the cult animated sci-fi anthology, and the first major rap show in a Polish edition.

We have selected the Top 5 series that we believe stand out among the May offerings. If you are looking for something fresh, engaging, and well-produced, this list is just for you. Sit back comfortably – an exciting month is ahead on Netflix.

Four Seasons

Premiere: 1st May 2025

A contemporary adaptation of the iconic film from the 80s. Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and Will Forte portray three friendly couples facing significant changes in their lives — divorces, new relationships, professional breakthroughs. “Four Seasons” is a blend of humour, nostalgia, and brilliantly written dialogue, all presented in a light yet profound style. Perfect for watching with a glass of wine or during a lazy afternoon on the sofa.

Sirens

Premiere: 22nd May 2025

Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock in a black comedy set in an exclusive seaside resort. The smooth surface of luxury quickly begins to crack as hidden conflicts, intrigue, and class tensions come to light. “Mermaids” is a visually stunning series — perfect for getting the most out of televisions with strong HDR — but it is also very well written, with a clear note of irony. A great choice if you enjoy good productions that play with the convention of “the world of beautiful people with dark secrets”.

And since we're on the subject — if you really want to immerse yourself in this beautifully crafted world of luxurious resorts and ominous secrets from "The Mermaids", it's worth investing in the right equipment.
The series is full of subtle details, deep colours, and contrasts that only make a full impression on a good screen with HDR.

Forever

Premiere: 8 May 2025

“Forever” is a story about two childhood friends who cross paths again after many years. Supposedly grown-up, supposedly carrying different experiences, yet — the same emotions return quicker than they would like. It’s a series that doesn’t rush to tell its story. It allows you to feel every unspoken gesture, every glance that says more than words. “Forever” is a bit like an old photograph – somewhat blurred, yet still full of life. Perfect for those evenings when you simply want something calm, authentic, and close to your heart.

New Edition: Rhythm + Flow: Poland

Premiere: 14 May 2025

The Polish edition of the global music hit. New artists, real competition and a jury that knows the rap underground inside out — Bedoes 2115, DZIARMA and Sokół. “Rhythm + Flow: Poland” is not just a music show, but also a record of the history of the Polish rap scene seen from the perspective of young talents. If you appreciate authenticity, charisma and really good music of a high standard, this programme should be high on your list.

Love, Death & Robots – Season 4

Premiere: 15 May 2025

Among all the May premieres, we have decided to focus on one continuation — and it’s one that truly deserves attention. “Love, Death & Robots” return with its fourth season, and that means one thing: visual and emotional madness at the highest level.
If you have a modern television and are looking for a series that will make your screen showcase its full potential, you could not have chosen better. Short, intense animated tales about the future, technology, monsters, and human obsessions impress both in terms of image and sound. Realistic renders, psychedelic strokes, Dolby Vision, HDR, full surround — everything here operates at peak performance.
Each episode is an entirely new world, new emotions, and plenty of opportunities to simply marvel at what can be squeezed from technology today.

May on Netflix is looking really good — new series, great stories, and plenty of emotion. Regardless of whether you fancy something light, something with a thrill, or perhaps something that simply looks good on the big screen, this month there is definitely plenty to choose from.
