What’s New on Netflix This Week (May 20–25, 2025): From Sarah Silverman’s Dark Comedy to Fear Street’s Bloody Prom
Netflix is packing the final full week of May with a wide-ranging mix of drama, laughter, and late-night tension. Whether you’re in the mood for biting stand-up (Sarah Silverman: Postmortem), a twisted teen slasher (Fear Street: Prom Queen), or a gender-flipped political satire (She The People), there’s something worth watching every night.
Highlights include Sirens, a dark, stylish drama about obsession and power, and Sneaky Links, a sultry social experiment that blends reality TV with romantic chaos. Fans of animation and family fare will want to check out The Wild Robot, the emotional new feature that brings a bestselling children’s novel to life.
