Summer is on the way, and so are new streaming titles. If you’re looking for new shows and movies coming to Netflix in May, you’re in luck — the streamer just announced its lineup for the month, and there are plenty of new and familiar favorites to enjoy, including the much-anticipated return of Stranger Things. (Planning to watch all the Hawkins chaos in one day? Go for it — even more episodes are on the way when Volume 2 drops this July.)

If you’re more into IRL drama, Netflix has you covered on this front, too. May’s reality offerings include new seasons of The Circle and Bling Empire, plus the new U.S. version of Love on the Spectrum. And May is a great month for original movies and classics on Netflix. Senior Year will see Rebel Wilson return to high school after a 20-year coma on May 13, and two (2!!) Nora Ephron faves, When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail, start streaming on May 1.

Of course, we also have to say goodbye to a handful of titles every month. Be sure to have one last Downton Abbey marathon before the beloved period drama leaves Netflix at the end of the month (perfect timing to catch up ahead of the new movie, though!). Hairspray and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies are also leaving the streamer this May.

Ahead, a complete list of all the movies and TV shows coming to and leaving Netflix this month.
