Every TV Show, Movie, and Original Coming to Netflix This Week (May 26)

Netflix is celebrating the final week of May with the arrival of even more new streaming titles.

This week, the streaming giant will stock seven new TV series and films into its streaming library, and they’re all Netflix originals.

Subscribers will also be able to watch the new true crime docuseries Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders, about 1982 Chicago Tylenol murders, as well as F1: The Academy, an adrenaline-filled docuseries that follows 15 female racers in the 2024 F1 Academy season.

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.
