Every single TV show and movie dropping on Netflix Australia in May 2020.

 

From Tiger King to Unorthodox, it’s fair to say Netflix has well and truly been getting us through isolation.

And our shameless binge-watching sessions are set to continue because the streaming service is about to drop a bunch of TV shows and movies next month.

Whether you’re in need of feel-good comedy to distract yourself from everything going on right now or a juicy crime doco to obsess over, Netflix has something for just about all of us.

So to get you ready for a month of binging, here are our top four picks as well as everything else coming to Netflix in May.

Dead To Me

That’s right, our favourite dark comedy series is returning to our screens next month. And we couldn’t be more excited.

For those who haven't see it, Dead To Me follows the complicated friendship between Jen Harding, played by Christina Applegate, and Judy Hale, played by Linda Cardellini. The pair meet at a grief support group after Judy was struggling with the loss of her fiancé and Jen's husband Ted was killed in an accident. The seriously addictive series is full of twists and secrets but also showcases the strength of female friendships and the struggles of both a single parent and a woman battling fertility issues.

Season two is set to pick up exactly where last season's shocking cliffhanger left off.

The second season of Dead To Me drops on Netflix on May 8.

Trial By Media

If you're a true crime fan you're seriously going to love Netflix's new documentary series, Trial By Media. 

The six-part series follows the most dramatic trials of all time and the way the media has impacted the verdicts. The documentary features a range of cases from different areas of the law, including the Jenny Jones made-for-Court TV murder trials, the story of Rod Blagojevich’s political fall, and the story of Amadou Diallo, an African immigrant who was shot by NYC police.
