May Netflix Release Dates Worth Looking Forward To
Still wondering what Netflix content is on the horizon? Here are two buzz-worthy titles to look forward to watching on Netflix in May 2023:
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (Released May 4) *Netflix Series
One of the most highly-anticipated streaming releases of the year is hitting Netflix early next month in the form of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. This historical drama limited series out of Shonda Rhimes is a prequel to her wildly successful Netflix Original TV show Bridgerton and follows fan-favorite supporting character Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel).

Speaking of spin-offs, fans of the To All the Boys films on Netflix are sure to love this romantic dramedy series that pulls us back into the films’ world while also serving up a delightful brand new story. XO, Kitty follows the youngest member of the Covey family, Katherine, AKA Kitty (Anna Cathcart), on her own coming-of-age journey to explore life and love as she travels to South Korea to reconnect with her long-distance boyfriend (Choi Min-young). But in her travels, Kitty comes to learn that she isn’t the romance expert she’d long figured herself to be, and that when your own heart is at risk, relationships can become more complex and scary than she’d ever imagined.
