May is moving fast, and the summer movie stampede is almost here. In the meantime, Netflix is loading up this week with a little bit of everything: a creepy sequel, a cozy fashion daydream, reality chaos, sports docs, and a live throwdown you probably did not have on your 2024 bingo card.
Quick hits before the full rundown: the big movie swing is horror follow-up Black Phone 2 dropping May 16; if you need something gentler, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris floats in May 11; and the Japanese series Soul Mate lands May 14. Also on deck: dating-show fireworks, football drama ( the European kind), and Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano as a Netflix live event on the 16th.
Heads up on a small scheduling quirk: the original list had weekday labels that do not cleanly match the calendar. Go by the dates below.
This week on Netflix: May 11–16
- May 11: Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris; Pop Culture Jeopardy!
- May 12: Marty, Life Is Short; Untold UK: Jamie Vardy
- May 13: Between Father and Son; The Bus: A French Football Mutiny; Perfect Match: Season 4; Roosters: Season 2
- May 14: Nemesis; Soul Mate (Japanese series)
- May 15: Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine; The Crash; The WONDERfools
- May 16: Black Phone 2; Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano - NETFLIX LIVE EVENT
Nice spread overall: one for the scream-seekers, one for the comfort-watch crowd, and plenty of midweek variety if you like your queues unpredictable. What are you pressing play on first?
