New Orleans's stay-at-home order expires
on May 16, or 11 days from now. In other words, there's not much time remaining
to stay indoors and couch-potato it in front of a Netflix queue.
For people preparing for an epic binging finale and for casual
viewers alike, Netflix has announced a litany of additions to its streaming
platform. It should be noted that Netflix is staggering the releases. Not
everything will come out at once.
In keeping with the company's seemingly unlimited target
audience, there's something for everyone. The additions include prestige TV
dramas, rom-coms, stand-up comedy specials, and more. Without further ado, here's
the list, in order of release date.
