Netflix Canada: What's Good In May 2017?

A scene-stealing Joe Manganiello in "Magic Mike XXL" for one.

Netflix Canada's May 2017 schedule sees favourites like "House Of Cards," "Bloodline," and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" return for new seasons. (Unfortunately for "Bloodline" fans, this will be the show's final season.)

But that's not all that's new to the streaming service. The spring season brings many original films, comedies, and documentaries including Tracy Morgan’s comeback, "Staying Alive," which premieres on May 16.

With the weather getting warmer, you might not want to spend all your time watching Netflix. So, instead of overloading you with new shows, the service is offering up a great roster of films you can toss on while getting ready to go out or stay in with a loved one.

Check out more of Netflix Canada's May 2017 offerings in the slideshow below. And find our picks under the gallery:

Netflix Picks May 2017

"Magic Mike XXL"

The "Magic Mike" sequel heats things up just in time for summer, and trust us, you won't want to miss a scene-stealing Joe Manganiello dancing to the Backstreet Boys' "I Want it That Way" in a convenience store. That's right, a convenience store.

"Moonlight"

Missed the Oscar-winning flick in theatres? Watch this epic story of a young gay man growing up in Miami. Better grab a box of tissues while you're at it.

"House Of Cards"

You can bet you're in for another intense ride as Frank and Claire Underwood go all out as spouses and presidential running mates in this exciting new season.

"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"

Season three sees Kimmy go to college. Oh, and "The Reverend" (played by Jon Hamm) is back — and married to Kimmy.
