It’s the end of the week and as we dive into the long memorial weekend, Netflix has quite a few new titles for you to discover. In fact, for May 22nd, there are 12 new titles now available for you to watch. Here’s our favorites and the full list.
Over the weekend, you can look forward to the latest season of The CW’s Dynasty and the new Indian zombie series Beetal lands on Sunday.
Now let’s take a look at what’s new on Netflix today:
Just Go With It (2011)
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Director: Dennis Dugan
Cast: Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, Nick Swardson
Runtime: 117 min
Our main highlight is the love them or hate them duo of Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler who appear in this rom-com that critics hated but audiences seem to enjoy.
Here’s what you can expect if you’ve never took the plunge and watched before:
“When Danny lies to his girlfriend that he’s a divorced family man, he recruits his employee and her kids to play his ex-wife and kids.”

The Lovebirds (2020)
Genre: Action, Comedy, Crime, Mystery, Romance, Thriller
Director: Michael Showalter
Cast: Kumail Nanjiani, Kyle Bornheimer, Anna Camp, Issa Rae
Runtime: 86 min
The big movie of the week (and perhaps the month) is the pickup from Paramount Pictures, The Lovebirds.
The comedy is extremely reminiscent of Netflix’s Murder Mystery that released last year. It’s a murder mystery where a couple gets mixed up in a murder plot.

Selling Sunset (Season 2)
Genre: Reality-TV
Cast: Romain Bonnet, Mary Fitzgerald, Brett Oppenheim, Jason Oppenheim
If you’re needing a dose of reality-TV Selling Sunset will certainly fill that requirement.
In season 2, we visit some more lavish properties courtesy of the elite estate agents from The Oppenheim Group.
The good news too is that the series was just renewed for season 3 today and already has a release date in August 2020.
