Another week of Netflix new releases is upon us, and while this week doesn’t boast one of the most popular Netflix original series, there are a lot of great titles to look forward to. If you’re still making your way through the latest new shows, including comedy series Running Point season 2 and breakout action thriller Man on Fire, it’s time to carve out some space on your watch list!
Last week’s new release Netflix shows were once again on the lighter side ahead of Mother’s Day weekend. The streaming service launched the second season of chilling documentary series Worst Ex Ever and also dropped the limited series Lord of the Flies.

In the week ahead, a diverse collection of new Netflix shows will bow between May 11 and May 15, and there’s really something for every kind of viewer. If you’re an anime fan, a fan-favorite series returns with a new season. Crime thriller fans also have something to look forward to, as do reality television buffs.
