The Keeper
UK Netflix release date: 19 May



The world is obsessing over murder documentaries. In this brief hiatus, whilst we digest the S-Town podcast and await the second season of Making a Murderer, there's another true-crime drama coming to Netflix to keep us going. The Keepers is all about the cover-up of the 1969 murder of a Baltimore nun named Sister Cathy. According to the trailer, Cathy was preparing to reveal the alleged corrupt goings on in the police and Catholic church and was possibly murdered for it. There's a second season in the pipeline so don't expect to have all your questions answered in the first seven-episode season.

Eight strangers around the globe find themselves connected by a terrible, violent vision. In season one, these strangers discovered they could connect to one another through thoughts and actions and decided to find out why these weird things were happening. Picking up where it left off, Capheus, Kala, Lito and the rest of the Sensates find themselves still on the run from Whispers (Terrence Mann), and forced to question their very identity. This popular Netflix original follows the Sensates as they struggle to find a new way to live with, understand and protect one another against all odds.

Get Me Roger Stone

UK Netflix release date: 19 May




The life of Laerte Coutinho, one of Brazil’s most prolific cartoonists, is explored in this Netflix Original documentary.

War Machine
UK Netflix release date: 26 May



David Michôd (Animal Kingdom)'s War Machine is part reality, part savage parody. Brad Pitt is the four-star general who went from the respect of NATO command to the embarrassment of a media exposé, and is joined by a highly decorated cast including Tilda Swinton and Sir Ben Kingsley. The Netflix original film is inspired by the book The Operators: The Wild & Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan, by the late journalist Michael Hastings.


House of Cards, Season 5
UK Netflix release date: 30 May



Ever since season 5 was announced, on the day of Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, speculation over what's next for the Underwoods has been as fevered as a White House press meeting. Not much is known so far, but with stranger-than-satire events playing out in real-life Washington, we're sure it's going to be searing.
