Kevin Hart’s Double Feature
The month kicks off with a bang as comedian Kevin Hart brings not one, but two highly anticipated events to the platform. On May 5, Funny AF with Kevin Hart premieres, where Hart and his comedian friends scour the United States for the next big stand-up star. This reality competition culminates in a live vote, promising viewer engagement like never before. Just a few days later, on May 10, The Roast of Kevin Hart airs live from the Kia Center as part of the Netflix Is A Joke comedy festival, featuring a lineup of top-notch comedians.
Must-Watch Adaptations and Sports Events
Another notable entry is the limited series Lord of the Flies, based on William Golding’s classic novel. This four-part drama tells the captivating tale of British schoolboys stranded on a deserted island, navigating the complexities of survival and governance. Moreover, sports fans won’t want to miss the live MMA event between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano on May 16. Though both fighters haven’t seen action in years, this match marks Netflix’s foray into live sports and includes an exciting undercard featuring renowned MMA fighters.
With these diverse offerings and much more in store, Netflix promises an entertaining May filled with laughter, drama, and sports excitement.
