Everything coming to and leaving Netflix in May 2022
Yes, the sun is out, yes, we have already embarked on our self-appointed mission to try out every rooftop bar in London, but does that mean that we will be turning our backs on our beloved Netflix? Hell, no! We're as ready as ever to soak up all that Netflix has to offer for May 2022. So, pour yourself a big glass of rosé, stock up on summery snacks (aka ice cream and leftover Easter eggs) and settle in for a whole host of new TV series and some of our favourite nostalgic films.
And what a month it's about to be on the streaming platform, as we say hello to Blood Sisters season 1, the first Netflix original series from Nigeria, and Hold Your Breath: The Ice Dive, an original feature documentary that sees free diver Johanna Nordblad attempt to break the world record for distance travelled under ice with one breath.
Sadly, it's also time to say goodbye to some of our favourite shows too, including Housewives of New York (sob) and Ansel Elgort's impeccable performance in Baby Driver, as well as hands down one of the funniest films ever, Bridesmaids.
Here's the complete list of everything that's coming to (and leaving) Netflix in May 2022:

Here's GLAMOUR's roundup of the most exciting new additions coming to Netflix in May 2022:
Trey MangumBlood Sisters
What's it about? The first Netflix original series from Nigeria, Blood Sisters follows two best friends, Sarah and Kemi, who are forced to go on the run after a wealthy groom disappears during his engagement party.
Blood Sisters is released on Netflix on 5 May 2022.
NetflixHold Your Breath: The Ice Dive
What's it about? This original feature documentary sees free diver Johanna Nordblad attempt to break the world record for distance travelled under ice with one breath. And given that we're all already obsessed with Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof, we need all the cold water therapy content we can get.
Hold Your Breath: The Ice Dive is released on Netflix on 3 May 2022.
Emily V. Aragones / NETFLIXAlong for the Ride
What's it about? This teen drama film follows the story reclusive girl whose outlook on life is changed when she meets a fellow insomniac with whom she begins to embark on late-night excursions
Along for the Ride is released on Netflix on 6 April 2022.
Wataru KohayakawaThe Future Diary
What's it about? We cannot get enough of foreign dating shows (hello, MAFS Australia and Love is Blind), and so we couldn't be happier that this Japanese dating reality show is returning for a second run. In short, it's an irresistible, stunt-based experiment where couples fall in love... then are forced to part ways, never to meet again.
The Future Diary is released on Netflix on 17 May 2022.
LUCIA FARAIG/NETFLIXWelcome to Eden: Season 1
What's it about? This Spanish-language sci-fi series is set on a luxury island that turns out to be far more sinister than a group of invited partygoers had imagined.
