Get Ready to Binge: The Full List of May 2023 Netflix Releases
May is here and Netflix announced its long-awaited list of new arrivals, with movies, reality series, new seasons, and documentaries dropping on the platform. LATV has put together a compilation of some of these productions to add to next month’s must-watch list.
Love Village (May 2nd)
With the success of reality dating series worldwide, Netflix arrived in Japan and put together eight men and women 35 and over in a house in the mountains, away from the realities of the world, to find their everlasting love while showing their real faces, crying, laughing, and quarreling.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (May 4rd)
In this Limited Series, India Amarteifio plays Young Queen Charlotte in the spinoff of the show that shook the world and is still going strong.

Queen Cleopatra (May 10th)
Jada Pinkett Smith produces this series in which British Adele James, who is biracial, portrays the first-century Egyptian ruler as a queen with African roots, which caused quite a stir in Egypt.
An Egyptian lawyer has reportedly filed a complaint demanding that legal action be taken to block Netflix entirely in Egypt, to prevent the show from airing. He claims the docudrama violates the country’s media laws, since Egyptian scholars claim that Cleopatra, who was born in the Egyptian city of Alexandria in 69 B.C. C. and belonged to a Greek-speaking dynasty, was of European descent and not black.

This spin-off series to the rom-com movie series To All The Boys, follows teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey, Lara’s little sister, having relationship troubles of her own when she travels to South Korea to be near his boyfriend.
FUBAR (May 25th)
Arnold Schwarzenegger debuts in Netflix with this series as a CIA operative. We meet Luke Brunner, a CIA agent on the brink of retirement who discovers an important family secret. Ironically, he has lived a lie his whole life, since his daughter is also a CIA agent.
Forced to return to the field for one last job, he will have to join forces with her to solve the case. In the meantime, we will enjoy some somewhat dysfunctional family dynamics and, therefore, comical, while we stay in tension with the spy plots and the action into which the characters are dragged.
Tin & Tina (May 26th)
This Spanish movie starring La Casa de Papel’s Jaime Lorente, follows Lola (Milena Smit) who loses the babies she was expecting and, with them, her faith in God. Hoping to get her back, she and her husband Adolfo go to a nunnery where they meet Tin and Tina, two angelic seven-year-old brothers to whom Lola feels strangely attracted.
Although Adolfo doesn’t feel the same way, they decide to adopt them. With the passage of time, Lola begins to fall into a spiral of suspicion and obsession with children and their macabre religious games.
