Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (May 19)

The shelves in Netflix’s streaming library are about to get a little fuller this weekend, with five new additions arriving from the streamer’s May 2023 content list. All set to arrive on Friday, following a list of other titles that dropped throughout the week, all five of the new additions are Netflix original series and films, with subscribers set to press play on everything from Selling Sunset Season 6 to the debut of the Netflix film Astérix & Obélix: The Middle Kingdom, the premiere of the new Netflix original series Muted, and more.
