If you've already watched Outer Banks twice and you're now following the entire Too Hot To Handle cast on Instagram, you're probably eager for what's coming to Netflix in May 2020. Luckily, the streaming service is adding plenty of new shows, classic movies, and anxiously-awaited seasons of fan-faves to its roundup. The only problem now is deciding where to start.

There's pretty much something for every occasion, even if you going to be staying at home for the entire duration of the month of May. For movie nights with bae, watch something fun like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (or the original, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, or Just Go With It. Your virtual ladies' night will be infinitely better now that Netflix is dropping Season 4 of both Workin' Moms and Riverdale, and Season 2 of Dead to Me. Plus, multiple Netflix films such as The Half Of It, The Wrong Missy, and The Lovebirds look to be an ideal distraction.

And finally, Ryan Murphy has done it again with his highly anticipated take on post-World War II showbiz. With a star-studded cast (including Queen Latifah, Patti LuPone, and Darren Criss), it seems pretty likely Hollywood will be a hit. And if watching Darren Criss be his perfect on-screen self isn't your thing, there's plenty more to keep you busy with Netflix's other May releases.
