• A lot of licensed and original content is coming to Netflix in May.
• There are a lot of action-packed and family movies, as well as comedies and dramas.
• Check out the full list of arrivals for May 2018.

As nice weather approaches, people tend to spend less time on the computer. However, Netflix is preparing for the summer schedule by bringing a lot of original content already in May. You can expect a variety of famous action and thriller movies, but also comedy specials, family movies and the continuance of some Netflix Original TV series. So, for a good introduction to the summer repertoire, check out the schedule for May.

On the first day of May, we can watch Hellboy II: The Golden Army. Although the main actor is being replaced, we can expect Guillermo del Toro to blend in the Hellboy's character from the first installment. On the same day, Netflix users will be able to enjoy the third part of Jason Bourne movies, The Bourne Ultimatum. Following the story of The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this movie is as fun and action-packed as the first two parts. Then, there is a Scream 2, the 1997 horror movie by the director Wes Craven.

When we talk about family movies, Netflix planned for your family vacation too. Forbes recommends you to watch the original Shrek movie on May 1st. And then, on May 19th a family drama/adventure called Bridge To Terabithia, will be available. Also, don't forget the Netflix Original Trollhunters' third season which debuts on May 25th.  Later, on May 29th, an animated hit movie Coco from Disney-Pixar is coming to the platform.

As far as comedies go, on May 14th, users will be able to see The 40-Year Old Virgin, a funny story about romance and love. Then, on May 25th, comedians Steve Martin and Martin Short will debut in a short Netflix special called An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life.
