Already out of TV shows to binge and movies to marathon? Don't worry! It's almost May, and that means Netflix has lots of new great things coming your way.

First off, Ryan Murphy's limited series Hollywood drops May 1, and just the cast alone has me excited. There are also a few fun Netflix shows returning, including a fourth season of Workin' Moms on May 6, and a fifth season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Netflix's May lineup is dominated by some really cool specials. Hannah Gadsby has another special coming, called Douglas (and if you haven't seen Nanette yet, do yourself a favor and check it out). Patton Oswalt also has a new comedy special, called I Love Everything. And on May 12 you can check out Netflix's interactive special Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend.

And as excited as I was to see Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani in The Lovebirds in theaters, I guess watching it from my couch on May 22 is a reasonable compromise.
