Netflix is the most popular streamer in the world, and a good reason for that is because it keeps on adding new originals and acquired movies from other studios.

May is no exception as the streamer is adding films that will satisfy all tastes. In the mood for a low-key charmer about a group of ornery grandmothers cooking? Stream Nonnas.

Or how about a throwback slasher based on the popular ‘90s teen books, Fear Street? Then make a date with the Prom Queen. Finally, Netflix in May is streaming The Wild Robot, a fantastic animated movie based on a beloved children’s book that isn’t just for kids.

‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ (2025) – May 23

In 2021, Netflix released not one, not two, but three Fear Street movies one week after another: 1994 with Maya Hawke, 1978 with Sadie Sink and 1666 with Kiana Madeira. The interconnected movies were a big hit for the streamer, but why did it take four years for Netflix to produce a follow-up?

We may never know the answer, but we’re still glad Prom Queen is set to terrorize subscribers around the world. The 1980s-set slasher is about the intense competition between “It girl” high school prom queen candidates as they campaign aggressively to get the most votes to be crowned onstage. When an unpopular candidate joins the race, the popular girls begin to mysteriously disappear one by one.

Netflix is being cagey about revealing much about Prom Queen, but the few images and teaser suggest some Prom Night-style kills mixed with bad dresses and even worse hairdos. If the movie is half the fun of Fear Street: 1994, then audiences are in for a bloody good time.

‘Nonnas’ (2025) – May 9

Joe Scaravella (Vince Vaughn) just lost his mother, and he doesn’t know what to do with himself. Looking for a purpose, he decides to open an Italian restaurant in Staten Island. It’s no ordinary restaurant, however, as many of the cooks are retired grandmothers who can barely stand each other. Surrounded by these no-nonsense nonnas, will Joe find meaning in life again?

No one will confuse Nonnas for Oppenheimer — the story is shamelessly sentimental and the Italian accents are as thick as the marinara sauce the nonnas put on their pasta. But the movie looks comforting, and it’s a hoot to watch Susan Sarandon, Talia Shire and Brenda Vaccaro play women of a certain age who can’t help hurling insults at one another.

‘The Wild Robot’ (2024) – May 24

This 2024 adventure was previously streaming on Peacock and will soon be available to Netflix subscribers in May. When robot Roz (Lupita Nyong’o) crash-lands on a seemingly deserted island, it sends a signal to be retrieved by its corporate masters. While waiting to be picked up, Roz befriends various animals it finds on the island, including a sly fox named Fink (Pedro Pascal) and Brightbill (Kit Connor), an orphaned gosling Roz shelters from potential predators. As Roz becomes more at home with its new animal friends, it must soon make a fateful choice: leave the island or stay and be a “wild robot.”

The Wild Robot is a fantastic animated movie that harkens back to old-school flicks like The Iron Giant and The Secret of NIMH. The film has a great voice cast that also includes Catherine O’Hara and Bill Nighy as two older animals who give Roz valuable advice. The Wild Robot was nominated for three Oscars this year and is already a classic in the making.

Everyone who wears bras can recall at least one negative experience with an uncomfortable style. Whether it’s the memory of straps digging into your shoulders or bands digging into your skin and creating lumps where you don’t wan’t them, we’ve all been there at some point. Luckily, there’s a surprisingly affordable remedy to this annoying fashion dilemma: The Warner Underarm-Smoothing Bra, a crowd-loved alternative to ill-fitting alternatives.

On sale for 70% off at Amazon, this now-$13 wireless bra has more than 47,000 ratings and was purchased over 5,000 times in the past month.

11 Seriously Comfy Back-Smoothing Bras — That Lift and Support Effortlessly

Shoppers say this bra “absolutely helps with smoothing my back and does not cause rolls” and that it gives a “flattering shape under clothes.” Because of these effects (and how comfortable it is), it’s become the only bra shoppers wear once they experience it for themselves.

“It does not ‘cut in’ anywhere!” they wrote. “It has a permanent light padding, which is just what I wanted. Best of all, I found these on Amazon for an affordable price!

This much-loved style is available in 13 colors, including shades of brown, white and black, making it virtually undetectable underneath workwear and lighter ensembles. Shoppers can also select colorful alternatives like blue and pink for days when they’re in the mood to showcase a pop of color (or secretly rock it underneath a darker outfit).

Compared to the last few months, there are more movies leaving Hulu in May than in recent memory. And it’s still a very modest list of departures.

Most of these films have flown way under the radar, including the Vanessa Kirby-led drama Italian Studies, in which she plays a woman who suddenly finds herself losing her memory.

One trend for the month is that a handful of Hulu’s acclaimed documentaries are going out the door, including The Last Tourist, The Capote Tapes, Not Going Quietly, and All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding.

The good news for Hulu subscribers is that there don’t seem to be any major studio departures in terms of movies or TV shows, but that could always change in June. For now, the complete list of everything leaving Hulu in May 2025 is below.

Netflix is far from immune to losing some of its best movies from other studios.

April 30 will be the last day several great titles will be available on Netflix, including the 2014 drama Whiplash.

Damien Chazelle wrote and directed the film based on a short film he made with J.K. Simmons a year earlier. Simmons returned for the full-length movie, with future Top Gun: Maverick star Miles Teller in the other leading role.

Teller and Simmons were electrifying together and they powered this modestly budgeted $3.3 million film into a $50.4 million hit that was widely met with critical acclaim. Now, there’s less than a week before Whiplash leaves, and this is the one great movie on Netflix that you need to make the time to see before it disappears from the streaming service.

7 Must-See Thrillers on Netflix Right Now (April 2025)

Miles Teller’s Breakthrough Performance Still Rules

Before Teller was cast in Whiplash, he only had a handful of prominent roles in the industry. This film elevated Teller to leading man status thanks to his outstanding turn as Andrew Neiman, a 19-year-old who wants to be a jazz drummer more than anything in the world.

Andrew’s character doesn’t start out fully formed. He’s painfully shy and doesn’t come out of his shell unless he’s performing. Through the course of the film, Andrew lets his ambition transform his personality and not always for the better. Even after landing Nicole (Melissa Benoist) as his girlfriend, Andrew still values his dreams more than the real people in his life.

This is driven home several times during the film, but especially when Andrew practices so hard that his fingers bleed. He wants to be the best jazz drummer possible, even if it threatens to destroy him.

J. K. Simmons’ Terence Fletcher Is an Unforgettable Nightmare

Andrew’s music mentor is Terence Fletcher (Simmons), a jazz instructor at the prestigious Shäfer Conservatory. Fletcher is the amalgamation of every overly harsh teacher you’ve ever had, and he’s probably worthy of a trigger warning.

Fletcher unleashes verbal and psychological abuse on his students that can be truly difficult to watch. It’s a role tailor-made for Simmons, who seems to be able to turn on Fletcher’s scorn and rage at a moment’s notice. That makes him a terrifying figure in the film because he knows how to destroy his students’ dreams and hopes with just a few choice words. And he’s completely merciless, even with Andrew.

There’s no question that Fletcher is the villain in this story, and yet Andrew always has this small hope that he’ll finally get the approval he so desperately needs from him. Simmons is so good in his role that he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and numerous other accolades for the film.

It’s a Drama That Plays Like a Thriller

There aren’t any twists in Whiplash that transform the story into something it isn’t supposed to be. The revelations that emerge about Fletcher seem like the natural progression of everything he did before that point in the movie. Once Andrew learns about a scandalous incident from Fletcher’s past, it’s less of a surprise and more of a confirmation that he’s a monster. And he never needed anything more than harsh words to break anyone.

Why Miles Teller Told Tom Cruise He Needs 6-Month Heads Up for 'Top Gun 3'

Whiplash is a beautifully filmed drama with two exceptional performances from Teller and Simmons. But it also plays a lot like a thriller as the audience watches just how far Andrew will go for perfection. His self-destructive tendencies are readily apparent, but the audience is forced to wonder if Andrew can ever really pull back and see what he’s doing to himself. Fletcher may be his nemesis, but Andrew’s overpowering ambition is his greatest enemy. That’s why Whiplash is so incredibly compelling as Andrew’s struggle reaches its natural conclusion.

Whiplash is streaming on Netflix.
