May is right around the corner and it seems like we will be quarantined in our homes for a bit longer. Fortunately, we can turn to movies and TV for comfort, and as an escape. A new month means a lot of new content for streaming services! So, while you’re practicing social distancing we thought it would be important for you to stay up to date on what’s coming to Netflix next month.

From classics like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Robert Zemeckis’ first two iconic Back to the Future films, there is some must-watch content to add to your library. In addition, the Issa Rae/Kumail Nanjiani rom-com, The Lovebirds (originally slated for the big screen) hits the service on the May 22, while All Day and a Night starring Ashton Sanders, Jeffrey Wright and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II hits May 1. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power will be debuting its final season and Steve Carrell’s Trump parody Space Force begins May 29!
