'Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours To Kill'
Netflix will be kicking off the week with plenty of laughs, as Jerry Seinfeld's new hour-long special, Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill, drops on Tuesday, May 5. Marking the second stand-up special in a two-part deal that Seinfeld signed with the streamer in 2017, the new comedy special, filmed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, sees Seinfeld showcasing his "sharp angles on everyday life, uncovering comedy in the commonplace."
"Who designed the bathroom stall with the under-display viewing window?" Seinfeld asks the audience in the trailer. "So we can all see the lifeless collapsed pant legs and tragic little shoe fronts that are just barely poking out from underneath the impotent belt, lying helpless? How much more money is it to bring this wall down another foot?"
prevnext'Workin' Moms: Season 4'
Netflix is dropping the fourth season of Canadian comedy sitcom Workin' Moms on Wednesday, May 6. Directed by Black-ish star Catherine Reitman, the series is based on her own life as a mother and follows four women in a mommies' group as they juggle relationships, babies, horrific co-workers, and postpartum depression, testing the modern ideal that women really can have it all. Season 4 will find the moms encountering big changes as they stand up for their children, their partners, businesses, and themselves.
Produced by Wolf + Rabbit Entertainment, the production company of Reitman and her husband Philip Sternberg, Workin' Moms stars Catherine Reitman, Jessalyn Wanlim, Dani Kind and Juno Rinaldi.

Scissor Seven is returning for its sophomore run on Thursday, May 7. The series follows an underpaid, scissor-wielding assassin who's not quite cut out for the job. The series initially aired on Chinese TV in 2018 under the title Killer Seven. The title, however, was changed to Scissor Seven for global audiences once Netflix acquired global rights that same year.

Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini are returning for a second season of Dead to Me on Friday, May 8.

She befriends another member of her grief support group, Judy (Cardellini) and the two change one another's lives — even if it's not for the better. Season 2 picks up directly in the aftermath of Season 1 as Jen and Judy struggle to hide their dark secret. Meanwhile, a surprising new visitor in ton is hot on their heels.
Dead to Me is executive produced by Gloria Sanchez Productions' Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. Christie Smith, who manages creator and showrunner Feldman, also executive produces alongside Gloria Sanchez's Jessica Elbaum.
