Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (May 28)

Netflix is marking the final weekend of May in a low-key way. While the streamer is known for dropping dozens of new titles at a time, this weekend will only see three new additions headed to the streaming library. The new titles include a new family-friendly title, a new batch of episodes for one fan-favorite series, and the final season of another Netflix original.

Although this weekend’s fare is light, the titles join others that were made throughout the week. Some of those recently added additions include the culinary docuseries High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America and the streamer’s latest true crime addition, Nail Bomber: Manhunt. Earlier in the month, Netflix stocked titles like The Woman in the Window, Love, Death & Robots, the final season of Castlevania, and a new season of its spooky series Haunted.

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.

In Part 2 of Season 5, God himself will make the trip to Earth, and “secrets will be revealed, sacrifices will be made, and the world will never be the same.” Season 5 marks the penultimate season for the beloved series, with Netflix having announced in June 2020 that Lucifer will end after Season 6.

‘The Kominsky Method: Season 3’

Netflix is officially bidding farewell to The Kominsky Method. On Friday, the streamer is premiering the third and final season of its beloved original series, which stars Michael Douglas as Sandy Kominsky, an actor-turned-acting coach in Hollywood, and Arkin as Norman Newlander, Sandy’s agent.
