The shelves in Netflix's streaming library are about to get a little bit fuller. As the streaming giant begins to roll out the final handful of additions from its May 2021 lineup, it will be treating subscribers to a total of four new titles this weekend, including everything from Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead to a live performance from singer Sam Smith.

This weekend's additions are notably light compared to most weekends, though they follow on the heels of dozens of titles that have already been stocked in the streaming library this month. Netflix kicked off May by dropping dozens of titles on May 1, including several Back to the Future films, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, and Zombieland. Since then, the streamer has continued stocking new titles, many of which have been originals. Some of those originals have included Part 2 of the streamer's series about the life of late Tejano star Selena Quintanilla, the final season of Castlevania, and even a new season of its chilling series Haunted. You can see the full list of May 2021 titles by clicking here.

Netflix offers three subscription plans – the basic plan ($8.99 per month), the standard plan ($13.99 per month), and the premium plan ($17.99 per month). The streamer also recently debuted a "Netflix Free Section," allowing non-subscribers to watch a selection of the streamer's most beloved originals at no cost. Keep scrolling to see everything coming to Netflix this weekend, and don't forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month.

'Army of the Dead'

Following his DC Comics movies Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League, Zack Snyder is returning to directing with the Friday, May 21 premiere of Army of the Dead.
