Netflix is adding 19 new movies and shows this week (May 5, 2024)

It's officially May! And while Bridgerton will be heading to Netflix next week, there are still plenty of new movies and shows to check out this week to keep you entertained (or at least distracted). The new additions include a crime series, a new rom-com, and a dramedy about a boy starting a band in 1980s Ireland.

First up this week is Bodkin! It hits Netflix on Thursday, May 9, 2024. The series follows a group of podcasters who set out to investigate a crime in a beautiful Irish town, but what they discover is not at all what they were expecting.

The series stars Siobhán Cullen, Will Forten, Robyn Cara, Chris Walley, David Wilmot, and Pom Boyd.
