Before Netflix starts dropping new titles from its expansive June 2023 content list, it has a few final additions to make for May. This weekend, the streamer is treating subscribers to five all-new titles, marking some of the final additions of the month. This weekend’s additions, four of which are Netflix original series and films, include everything from a new season of the hit cooking competition Barbecue Showdown to the premiere of the original film Blood & Gold.
Netflix offers four subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the basic plan ($10 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan. Keep scrolling to see everything coming to Netflix this weekend, and don’t forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month.
