Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

May 2022 is quite a big month for Netflix.

As well as introducing new titles, including Mike Myers comedy series The Pentaverate, the streaming service will be bringing back one of its biggest hitters: Stranger Things.

Elsewhere, Better Call Saul will continue airing weekly episodes of its final season, and the US version of reality series The Circle will also be added throughout the month.

For those who want more Selling Sunset, a reunion episode will be added to the service, also.

Find a full list of every movie and TV series being added to Netflix in May 2022 below. Find the full list of everything being removed here.

NB: we compile this list ourselves with additional help from What’s on Netflix.
