Here’s the backstory

Netflix unleashes a plethora of new shows and seasons every month, and May packed a few punches.

Season four of “Stranger Things” is nail-biting supernatural action. The new series “The Pentaverate” revolves around a centuries-old secret society. And if you have been chomping at the bit for the latest season of “Love, Death and Robots,” that’s also available.

What’s coming in June?

June is lining up to be even more action-packed than May. It’s Pride Month, and Netflix has a few shows on the topic and some comedy specials. Fans of comic Bill Burr can get a laugh with his “Friends Who Kill.” Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin take center stage with “Ladies Night Live,” and “Stand Out” is another comedy.

Here are some of the shows that we are looking forward to the most:
