This week is going to be a big one for Netflix and its subscribers! After seeing the Netflix streaming library grow by dozens of new additions so far in May, the streamer is checking 15 more titles off its May 2023 content list this week, and all but one of them are Netflix original series and films.
This week’s round of new additions is set to begin arriving on Tuesday when the streamer will debut its newest documentary, Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me. The documentary, from director Ursula Macfarlane and producer Alexandra Lacey, examines the life and death of Smith, who died in 2007 at the age of 39. Just a day later, Netflix will drop McGREGOR FOREVER, a documentary about the Irish professional mixed martial artist. This week will also see the debut of XO, Kitty, Netflix’s To All the Boys spinoff centered on Lara Jean’s little sister Kitty, as well as Season 6 of Selling Sunset.
