A monthly look at what’s scheduled to be added to the catalogues of streaming services Netflix Canada and CraveTV:

TOP PICKS

Some of Netflix’s top original titles are returning this month, including a fifth season of “House of Cards” on May 30. Spoiler alert: The last season saw Frank Underwood waging war against an ISIS-style terrorist group and becoming increasingly embroiled in tense relations with Russia. Of course, a lot has changed in the real world since the last season first began shooting in 2015 and debuted last spring. Will the show feel a little less over-the-top in the Trump era? Also returning are “Master of None” (May 12), “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” (May 19) and “Bloodline” (May 26).

CraveTV has the much-anticipated return of cult favourite “Twin Peaks,” with the first two episodes available to stream on May 21. Director David Lynch teamed with Showtime for the 18-part revival, which continues 25 years after the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer. CraveTV also has the first two original seasons of the show available to catch up.

 

Here are the lists of movies and TV shows that are expected this month. Release dates are subject to change.
