Netflix: Everything coming and going in May

In an effort to build up a bigger library of original content, with a large focus on television series, there are fewer films on Netflix than ever before and that's pretty apparent just from glancing at the list of new titles headed to the streaming platform in May.

The biggest addition this month is the Jack Black starring Goosebumps. Based on the series of young adult novels from R.L. Stine, Goosebumps follows a couple of teenagers who are tasked with destroying a group of monsters created by a reclusive author that take over their suburban neighborhood. Although based on the meant-to-be-scary books, the film is more comedic than anything else and was meant to be enjoyed for people of all ages. In our review, Polygon's Phil Kollar found it surprisingly delightful.

For those not interested in the Jack Black affair, however, there are a couple of new television series and seasons headed to Netflix next month. Marseille is the newest Netflix Original series to arrive on the platform and stars acclaimed French actor Gerard Depardieu. The show, although only available in French, follows the former mayor of Marseille as he enters a political war with his former protege. Think the French television version of The Ides of March.

Also hitting Netflix is the second season of Bloodline, starring Kyle Chandler and Ben Mendelsohn. The show, which was hailed by critics when it premiered last year, follows an estranged family as they're brought back together for the first time in years following the return of their long lost brother. Like any family oriented drama, secrets will be revealed and backs stabbed as information about their relationships come to light.

Unfortunately, the ushering in of new movies and series every month means that other titles have to leave the service. In May, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Blade Runner and Clerks are just a couple of the movies that will no longer be available to stream.

The full list of what's coming to and leaving Netflix in May can be found below.
