Netflix’s lineup today may be small, but it still delivers two solid additions. One release revisits one of football’s greatest comeback stories, while the other brings back one of comedy’s sharpest stand-up voices with a brand-new special.
Here’s everything new on Netflix today.
TL;DR
Netflix’s May 19, 2026 lineup includes Untold UK: Liverpool's Miracle of Istanbul and Wanda Sykes: Legacy.
Untold UK: Liverpool’s Miracle of Istanbul
Netflix continues expanding its Untold sports documentary lineup with a closer look at Liverpool’s unforgettable comeback against AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final.
The documentary revisits the historic match where Liverpool erased a 3-0 halftime deficit in one of football’s most shocking turnarounds. What makes the film especially engaging is hearing directly from the players who experienced the pressure and chaos of that night firsthand.
Even if you already know how the match ends, the story still feels incredibly dramatic because of how impossible the comeback looked at halftime. For football fans and sports documentary lovers, this is easily today’s standout release.
Wanda Sykes: Legacy
Wanda Sykes returns to Netflix with a new stand-up special filled with sharp observations, fearless humor, and her signature storytelling style.
Filmed at her alma mater, the special covers everything from politics and modern culture to surprisingly relatable everyday frustrations. Wanda’s strength has always been turning ordinary situations into hilarious commentary, and this special leans heavily into that style.
If you enjoy stand-up comedy mixed with social commentary and personal stories, this is probably the must-watch addition of the day.
