May is proving to be a big month for Netflix, and the streamer is keeping busy this week by adding even more additions from its May 2022 content list. This week, the streamer is stocking the shelves of the streaming library with 15 new titles, and all of them are Netflix original series and films!
The new round of additions began rolling out on Monday with the premiere of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Sustainable War. The streamer is set to keep the excitement coming throughout the rest of the week by adding everything from Workin’ Moms Season 6 to its new original series The Lincoln Lawyer. On the reality front, Netflix will not only be dropping new episodes of The Circle Season 4, but also premiering Bling Empire Season 2. The streamer will close out the week and head into the weekend with the debut of its highly-anticipated Rebel Wilson-starring film Senior Year.
