Netflix’s May lineup is heavy on comedy—headlined by a six-part live event from John Mulaney—coinciding with the 2024 Netflix Is A Joke Fest that runs from May 2–12 in Los Angeles. John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s In L.A will air in installments beginning on May 3 and wrapping up on May 10. Also streaming live are Katt Williams: Woke Foke (May 4) and Roast of Tom Brady (May 5) with an award show special featuring Kevin Hart (Mark Twain Prize Award: Kevin Hart, May 11). Other comedy specials dropping in May are from Udom Taephanich (Deaw Special: Soft Super Power, May 1) and Rachel Feinstein (Big Guy, May 21).
The true crime documentary slate includes The Final: Attack on Wembley (May 8), chronicling the violence that took place at the Euro 2020 final held in July 2021 when ticketless fans stormed the stadium; Cooking Up Murder: Uncovering the Story of César Román (May 10), a docuseries about a murder case involving a Spanish chef; and Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal (May 15) about the data hack of the infamous dating site. Later in the month, three-part docuseries Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult (May 29) covers the TikTok dancers trapped in a cult fronted by management company 7M.
Other May highlights include part one of season 3 of Bridgerton (May 16) and Unfrosted (May 3), a comedy film directed by and starring Jerry Seinfeld (along with Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant, and Amy Schumer) that loosely tells the Pop-Tarts creation story.
