Netflix's May slate is heavy on sports and comedy, including live events and documentaries in both categories. The streaming service will carry the full lineup of F1 Canadian GP weekend events, starting with spring qualifying on May 22 and ending with the race on May 24. Netflix will also host its first live MMA broadcast—Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano—on May 16.
Ahead of the 2026 World Cup this summer, there are also a handful of soccer documentaries: USA 94: Brazil's Return to Glory (May 7) covers Brazil's World Cup run, while The Bus: A French Football Mutiny (May 13) looks at controversy surrounding France's 2010 bid. Several football-focused Untold UK episodes are dropping in May as well. Finally, Rafa (May 29) is a documentary series about Rafael Nadal's tennis career and final season.
On the comedy side, competition series Funny AF with Kevin Hart will wrap up live on May 5. Also live is The Roast of Kevin Hart, airing on May 11 as part of the Netflix Is A Joke Festival. Wanda Sykes has a new standup hour (Legacy, May 19), and the month wraps up with AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Eddie Murphy (May 31), a ceremony honoring the comedian's life and work.
Other highlights in May are the debut of Mating Season (May 22), a new adult animated comedy series from Big Mouth creator Nick Kroll about love, sex, and relationships in the animal world; and Ladies First (May 22), a comedy film starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike. Tina Fey's comedy series The Four Seasons (May 28), in which she stars alongside Steve Carrell, also returns for a second season.
