This week’s lineup is led by Big Mouth Season 8, the final season of the coming-of-age sitcom. The hit animated show is set to return to screens on Thursday, and will be available to stream alongside other new additions like Sarah Silverman: Postmortem, Newly Rich, Newly Poor, and the new reality show Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark. This week will also see the debut of Tyler Perry’s She The People. The sitcom will launch in two parts, with the eight-episode Part One dropping Wednesday followed by the remaining eight episodes later this summer. Other arrivals this week include Untold: The Fall of Favre, Fear Street: Prom Queen, and The UnXplained with William Shatner Season 6.

You can watch all of these titles and more by signing up for one of the streamer’s three subscription plans – the standard with ads plan ($7.99 per month), the standard plan ($17.99 per month), and the premium plan ($24.99 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.

Sarah Silverman: Postmortem

Premiere Date: Tuesday, May 20
Type: Netflix Comedy Special
Synopsis: “Following the recent death of both of her parents, comedian Sarah Silverman finds comedy in the darkest corners of life.

Premiere Date: Wednesday, May 21
Type: Netflix Series
Synopsis: “”Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark” is a bold new reality series that explores the potential of deeper connections in a world full of casual hookups. Six sexy singles check into a motel in pursuit of true love, only to be reunited with their long term booty calls, or “sneaky links.” With the help of host Chloe Veitch (Too Hot to Handle, Perfect Match) and relationship expert Spicy Mari, guests must navigate three exciting phases, each designed to challenge the rules of sneaky linking. As they face daring challenges and fun dates, the guests must decide whether to deepen their connection with their sneaky link, explore new romantic possibilities, or leave the motel single. With temptation lurking at every corner, emotions run high, and relationships get messy – is great sex and a physical connection enough for a lasting meaningful relationship? Is your 1am the one? Or will the guests find that their sneaky link was just a roadblock to true love?”

Tyler Perry’s She The People

Premiere Date: Thursday, May 22
Type: Netflix Series
Synopsis: “Lieutenant Governor candidate Antoinette Dunkerson runs a successful campaign and now must figure out how to thrive under a sexist and condescending governor while attempting to keep her family in line now that they’re all in the public eye.”

Big Mouth: Season 8

Premiere Date: Friday, May 23
Type: Netflix Series
Synopsis: “In the eighth and final season of Big Mouth, our beloved Bridgeton teens tackle new challenges as high schoolers such as: driving, drugs, sexual inexperience, enthusiastic consent, porn and the teenage mind, cancel culture, their changing bodies, and (in the end) fear of the looming future. Through it all, friendship is the cornerstone for surviving this time of life – whether one’s puberty is just beginning, like for Nick who gets his first growth spurt, or near its conclusion, like for a maturing (and prematurely balding) Andrew. At the height of the season, when many of our characters are in crisis, Compassion (personified as a new creature voiced by Holly Hunter), emerges as a crucial way forward. Ultimately, though, this season is about the importance of sticking by and supporting your friends, especially when life gets overwhelming and messy. In the end, our kids step into the harrowing unknown of the future, made less afraid of what’s to come because they have each other.”
