Everything coming to Netflix in May 2023

After decades of mailing DVDs and revolutionizing the entertainment industry, Netflix continues to be the premier destination for streaming content. With recent hit shows like Wednesday, The Diplomat, and The Night Agent, plus blockbuster movies like The Gray Man and the Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front, Netflix still dominates the streaming landscape like no other.

That domination is likely to continue with Netflix's May 2023 programming schedule, which includes the debut of the action movie The Mother with Jennifer Lopez and the arrival of Arnold Schwarzenegger's first TV series, Fubar. In addition, a Bridgerton spinoff, Queen Charlotte, will premiere as well as the hit Sony dramedy A Man Called Otto with Tom Hanks.

These are the questions at the center of Working: What We Do All Day, a compelling documentary series that explores the ways in which we find meaning in our work and how our experiences and struggles connect us on a human level. Narrated by President Barack Obama, who makes appearances alongside everyday people in their homes and places of work, the series follows individuals at all levels of the workforce — from service jobs all the way up to the C-suite — across the industries of home care, tech, and hospitality.

As a college student, Obama was inspired by Studs Terkel's 1974 book Working, which revolutionized the conversation around work by asking ordinary people what they did all day.
