What's new on Netflix Australia for May 2021

As the number of shows and movies available to stream in Australia continues to grow at an impressive rate, it can be tough to keep up with all the new additions to each streaming service each month. 

We've all come to anticipate a new stable of Netflix Originals releases each month, but figuring out which shows they are and when exactly they become available isn't so easy. And what about the large number licensed shows and films that are made available to stream, if only for a limited time?

In an effort to keep you informed of the best shows and movies that are in the process of being added to Netflix, we'll be bringing you an updated list of what you can expect on the service on a monthly basis. 

Not only that, we'll also be singling out the biggest releases, as well as a number of quality TV shows and films which we believe deserve your Netflixing time. 

After a few weak months in terms of Originals, Netflix has come back swinging with a fantastic month of great new TV shows, specials and movies on offer – here's what's new on Netflix in May 2021. Check out Netflix's newest offerings below!

Netflix highlights for May 2021

Army of the Dead (21/05/2021) 

Zack Snyder's highly anticipated return to the zombie genre is almost upon us with Netflix's Army of the Dead. Set after a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, the film sees a group of mercenaries led by Scott Ward (Dave Bautista) venture into the zombie-riddled quarantine zone in order to pull off the greatest and most dangerous heist ever. Unfortunately for them, they'll have to face off against an evolved breed of zombie that's faster, smarter and more organised than anything we saw in Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake.

Jupiter's Legacy (07/05/2021) 

Based on the comic series by celebrated author Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, The Secret Service), the Netflix Original adaptation of Jupiter's Legacy is about the troubles that arise when the world's first generation of superheroes are forced to pass the torch to their arrogant, entitled children. Stars Josh Duhamel, Ben Daniels and Leslie Bibb.

Love, Death & Robots: Volume 2 (14/05/2021) 

From the demented minds of Tim Miller (Deadpool) and David Fincher (Fight Club) comes Love, Death & Robots: Volume 2, featuring another outrageous anthology of provocative animated short films. Be warned, these are strictly for adults only.

Master of None: Season 3 (Coming soon) 

While it doesn't have an exact release date yet, Netflix has confirmed to us that Master of None's third season, subtitled 'Moments in Love', will arrive during May 2021. Unlike previous seasons, star Aziz Ansari will not be at the centre of season 3, opting instead to focus on his directing and co-writing duties. This time, the show will follow the character of Denise (Lena Waithe). You can check out the teaser above to get an idea of what that will be like.

Castlevania: Season 4 (13/05/2021)

In its fourth and final season, Netflix's anime original series Castlevania will see Dracula's influence grow even larger as Belmont and Sypha investigate plans to resurrect the infamous vampire. Meanwhile, Alucard struggles to embrace his humanity. We expect things to get seriously bloody.
