Netflix Releases: New Anime And More Arrive This Week (4/26-5/1)

We're moving into May, and Netflix has plenty of new content coming out, almost every single day. With April coming to a close and May beginning, it's business as usual for the streaming service, as Netflix doesn't plan on delaying any original content. Below, you'll find all the movies, TV shows, and original content coming to the service this week, along with a few recommendations.

Taku Kuwabara's manga series Drifting Dragons is coming to Netflix on Thursday as a new series. The series will follow the adventures of the manga. The official Netflix synopsis reads, "Dragons are on the menu as the crew of the airship Quin Zaza sets out on a hunt. If they fail, empty stomachs will be the least of their worries." You can check out the trailer for the show below.

On Friday, Netflix will release plenty of new movies and a few TV shows. You should do yourselves a favor and watch Back to the Future and its sequel. If you are unfamiliar, the films follow the adventures of Marty McFly, a teenager who goes back in time thanks to a mad scientist's car. Well, he also goes into the future in the sequel and an alternate timeline. It's all very enjoyable. Also, the first three Underworld movies arrive on May 1. It's a film series about vampires fighting werewolves. It's action-packed and nonstop fun.

Below, you'll find everything coming to Shudder in May, and for more streaming news, check out everything coming to Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Shudder, and Hulu for the month of May.

And speaking of things you should be watching, consider listening to GameSpot's weekly TV series and movies-focused podcast, You Should Be Watching. With new episodes premiering every Wednesday, you can watch a video version of the podcast over on GameSpot Universe or listen to audio versions on Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play, and Apple Podcasts.
