Coming to UK Netflix in May 2019: Best new releases, films, series and documentaries this month

From Renee Zellweger's TV debut to Amy Poehler and Tina Fey's latest screen outing

May is just around the corner - and with two Bank Holidays on the horizon, there'll be plenty of time to immerse yourself in Netflix's latest offerings.

Renee Zellweger is set to make her television debut in WHAT/IF, playing a mysterious benefactor in the neo-noir social thriller that has already garnered comparisons with Basic Instinct, with Ava DuVernay's anticipated mini-series When They See Us set to dramatise the true story of the Central Park Five.

The Society, a new drama which follows a group of wealthy teens who must fight to survive when everyone vanishes from their sleepy town, sounds like Lord of the Flies crossed with Pretty Little Liars and is set to drop on May 10, while Amy Poehler will join forces with friends Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph in original movie Wine Country.
