What’s New on Netflix Canada in May 2021
As we continue to move through yet another lockdown, it’s the wide array of streaming content on Netflix that has kept many of us going. Something to look forward to this month is the thriller The Woman in the Window, based on the novel of the same name and starring Amy Adams. There’s also a second season of the popular series Who Killed Sara? and Part 2 of Selena: The Series. There’s plenty to choose from, so sit back and check out our New on Netflix Canada guide for May.
Originals
If you watched Selena: The Series (May 4), then it’s time to buckle up for Part 2. As Selena’s career gains momentum, the singer fights to remain true to herself, as she spends quality time with her family and expands her businesses.
New original series Jupiter’s Legacy (May 7) is based on the popular comic book series by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely, who were both involved as executive producers. The first generation of superheroes have kept the world safe for nearly a century. Now their children must live up to their legacy in an epic drama that spans decades and navigates the dynamics of family, power and loyalty. The series stars Josh Duhamel, Leslie Bibb and Elena Kampouris.
Monster (May 7) follows a teen who is implicated in a robbery-turned-murder and fights for his innocence and integrity against a criminal justice system that’s already judged him. The series stars John David Washington, Jennifer Hudson and Jeffrey Wright.
The highly anticipated film The Woman in the Window (May 14) follows Dr. Anna Fox (Amy Adams), once a successful child psychologist, who is now an agoraphobic with a drinking problem. She’s afraid to go outside, so she spends her time watching classic movies on television, drinking wine and occasionally, spying on her neighbors across the street — a father (Gary Oldman), mother (Julianne Moore) and their teenage son, Ethan (Fred Hechinger). She becomes obsessed with them — and solving a brutal crime she witnesses from her window.
After a successful run of season one of Who Killed Sara?, which premiered in March, Netflix is releasing Season 2 on May 19. To exact his revenge, Alex will have to bring to light his sister’s darker side — and come to terms with the fact that he never knew the real Sara.
Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead is also coming to Netflix on May 21. After a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries takes the ultimate gamble by venturing into the quarantine zone for the greatest heist ever.
The Kominsky Method is returning for a third season on May 28. A new chapter unfolds for Sandy as he deals with a difficult loss, a daunting financial obligation, an important reunion and a major career boost. Click here to watch our interview with Michael Douglas and Chuck Lorre.
Just For Laughs
A cult classic is back on May 1! Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, the second installment in the Harold & Kumar series, will stream on May 1. Harold and Kumar (John Cho and Kal Penn) get themselves in trouble when they try to sneak a bong onboard a flight to Amsterdam. Now suspected of terrorism, they are forced to run from the law and try to find a way to prove their innocence in an epic journey of deep thoughts, deeper inhaling, and a wild trip around the world.
You can also watch the comedy Little, which follows Jordan Sanders (Regina Hall), a nasty, self-important boss who bullies her staff and drives them crazy with her unreasonable demands. A 13-year-old girl calls her out on her destructive behavior and casts a spell on Jordan who, when she wakes up the next morning, finds she’s reverted to the body of her 13-year-old self.
Double Up on Action
Set in 1990s Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond (May 1) is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), an ex-mercenary from Zimbabwe, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. They team up in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond, the kind of stone that can transform a life… or end it.
In Shaft (May 10), John Shaft Jr.’s (Jessie T. Usher) turns to his estranged father, John Shaft II (Samuel L. Jackson) for help and together they team up with John Shaft I (Richard Roundtree), making it a family affair as they close a case and help settle a score. Click here to watch our interview with star Jessie T. Usher.
Horror Cult Faves
Horror fans will be pleased to revisit a hit from 2019. From Jordan Peele, the writer/director of Get Out, comes Us (May 23), a nail-biting horror about the Wilson family — Gabe (Winston Duke) and Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o), and their children, Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) and Jason (Evan Alex).
Another recommendation is Annabelle Comes Home (May 17). Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) take charge of the demonic doll Annabelle, then return home to lock her away with the rest of their cursed collection. However, their daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace) and her friend unintentionally set Annabelle free. Free from imprisonment, Annabelle brings with her all the evil spirits tied to the Warrens’ collection for a night of terror for the three young girls — with the intent of possessing them.
