We're here again, just in time for another weekend of Netflix binge-watching, just in time for Cinco de Mayo. There aren't a lot of new shows coming this weekend to Netflix, so we're expanding this week's list to encompass what also came out earlier this week. Here are the new shows, movies, films, and series to come out on Netflix this week and this weekend of May 5-7.

New to Netflix this Weekend (May 5-7)

May 5 – Unfortunately, Netflix deemed it safer not to compete with the Cinco de Mayo celebrations and elected not to release any new shows this Friday.

May 6

  • A Man Called Otto – Otto has given up on his life after losing his wife. His grief led him to a desire to end it all, turning into a grumpy old man in the process. Thankfully, a young family moves in nearby, and the quick-witted Marisol helps turn his life around with their one-of-a-kind friendship.

May 7 – There are also no new shows coming to Netflix this Sunday, which means Netflix gets the Big L amongst its competitors this weekend. Come one, Netflix! You're better than this!

Well, that list is a bummer. That's the first time ever since we started making these lists that only have one new show listed for the entire weekend. So, let's talk about it earlier this week. What came out earlier this week? Try checking out:
