Netflix has lifted the veil on one of its new May 2024 films with superb first clips. A feature film which will not speak to everyone, but which could be the next hit on the platform.
For the moment, the firm with the red N is managing to maintain a sustained pace for its exclusive films and series for 2024. The Korean show Parasyte the Grey, one of the big new Netflix releases for April 2024, has finally divided more than expected, but that does not prevent it from monopolizing the top 10 most watched series in France and abroad. And soon, the video streaming platform will make noise with Rebel Moon Part 2: The Slasher. Zack Snyder’s fans and detractors are currently warming up to battle it out on social media when it airs on April 19. To establish a little love before the inevitable clash, Netflix presents another exclusive expected very soon.
A crazy film for the new Netflix releases of May 2024
The Netflix new releases program for May 2024 is growing a little more every day. To be sure that subscribers are there, the firm with the red N is not sparing its strength. Starting next month, it will be possible to get up to date by discovering the Jujutsu Kaisen phenomenon. The first season of the animated series, which contains 24 episodes, and the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will be available from May 1, 2024. On the other hand, it may not hold up to one of the biggest expectations, which is one of the most successful of all time on the platform, the imminent addition of The Bridgerton Chronicles season 3 which arrives on May 16, 2024.
The next day, Netflix planned to put online an exclusive production which had been mentioned in the N agenda of films and series for 2024. It is Tema Thelma the unicorn. An animated feature film directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) – and Lynn Wang (Unikitty) – who agreed to adapt the video game to the global hit Minecraft in live action. And this experience with Thelma the unicorn will surely benefit him, because this animated film does not start from scratch. It uses the license created by Aaron Blabey, an author known in the world of children’s books. And it also turns out that it is one of her bestsellers, which bodes well for the film Thelma the Unicorn. It will be available on Netflix on May 17, 2024.
A trailer for the adaptation of Thelma the Unicorn
The animated film Thelma the Unicorn tells the story of a pony who fantasizes about being a superstar. A dream that will perhaps come true the moment the animal transforms into a resplendent unicorn. “Thelma is a pony who dreams of becoming a glamorous singer, and even a superstar. One day, the planets align, and Thelma transforms into a unicorn! Floating on a little pink glitter cloud, she becomes a star with international popularity, but this global success comes at a price.” Obviously, it is aimed primarily at a young audience. But older subscribers might be tempted by the animation quality. And in view of the director, we are not safe from a double reading which will satisfy everyone. To find out what it’s worth, and if Netflix will be able to reproduce the box office of the original book, go to the SVOD service on May 17, 2024.
