This Mother’s Day month, Netflix is leaning into heartfelt stories, awkward goodbyes, and comedic chaos. Nonnas (May 9) leads the tribute with Vince Vaughn opening a grandmother-run Italian restaurant inspired by memories of cooking with his mother and grandmother, per Time. One week later, Football Parents (May 16) explores the high-stakes world of youth sports through the lens of eccentric moms on the sidelines. Then, on May 20, Sarah Silverman takes the stage in Postmortem, a deeply personal comedy special reflecting on the deaths of her stepmother and father in 2023.

Family themes continue with The Four Seasons (May 1), a new ensemble dramedy starring Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Will Forte, and Colman Domingo. Lifelong friendships unravel when one couple’s divorce disrupts their decades-long tradition of vacationing together. The show unpacks emotional baggage while still delivering comedic gold.

Cults, Comedy, and Coming-of-Age Finales

May also brings suspense and satire. Sirens (May 22), backed by Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap, stars Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock as sisters caught in a twisted dynamic when Simone’s job takes a creepy turn. With Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon adding gravitas, this psychological drama promises to shake things up.

Meanwhile, Big Mouth closes the book on adolescent awkwardness with its eighth and final season (May 23). The raunchy animated comedy sends its hormone monsters and messy teens off into the chaos of high school graduation. Expect cringe, closure, and a few unexpected lessons.

Other major highlights include Sarah Silverman: Postmortem (May 20), the chilling docuseries Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders (May 26), and Fear Street: Prom Queen (May 23), which promises to deliver horror nostalgia with a bloody corsage twist.
