New on Netflix in May 2025: Top highlights of the month

Whether you’re into thrilling docuseries, quirky comedies, or gripping romance, there’s plenty hitting the platform throughout the month.

One of the major highlights is Love, Death and Robots, returning with a new season on 15 May 2025. This anthology series continues to blend horror, sci-fi, and animation into short, mind-bending stories. If you’re looking for something bold and inventive, this is a must-add to your list.

True crime fans will find Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story launching on 14 May 2025. This documentary series takes a closer look at one of the UK’s most infamous criminal cases, offering all episodes at once for a deep-dive binge.

Also on the radar is Fear Street: Prom Queen, arriving 23 May 2025. Based on R.L. Stine’s popular horror novels, this instalment follows a prom night gone terribly wrong and promises plenty of suspense and scares, perfect for fans of horror.

For something lighter, Tyler Perry’s She The People (22 May 2025) offers a fresh comedy series, while The Royals (9 May 2025) and Thank You, Next (15 May 2025) deliver doses of romance drama that are easy to binge in one sitting.
