Netflix Drops This Week — New Must-Watch Shows and Movies From May 4 to May 10

This week’s offerings on Netflix feature a blend of true crime, returning dramas, and live comedy that promises to keep viewers entertained from May 4 to May 10.

A major highlight is the return of the true crime docuseries Worst Ex Ever. Season 2 explores more real-life stories where relationships take a dark and violent turn. The series employs interviews, bodycam footage, and reenactments to narrate each case. This new season teases stories involving convicted criminals Wade Wilson and Geoffrey Paschel, known from 90 Day Fiancé.

Also making its return is The Chestnut Man, with Season 2 titled Hide and Seek. Based on the novels by Søren Sveistrup, the narrative follows detectives Naia Thulin and Mark Hess as they revisit a chilling murder case linked to a chestnut figurine. The new season picks up five years after the first, with Danica Curcic, Mikkel Boe Følsgaard, and David Dencik reprising their key roles.

Completing the week is a live comedy event featuring Kevin Hart, hosted by Shane Gillis. This marks Netflix’s second live roast, adding a unique energy to the week’s releases.
