Just what you’ll need when those April showers hit.
As the year warms up, we’re slowly beginning to fling open our windows, welcome some warm breezes, and begin a much-needed spring clean. As you sweep and scrub, we’re happy to say that your favorite streaming platform is doing the same. Well, metaphorically. This month, Netflix is dusting out old titles that you’ve already binged to make way for fresh, new movies and shows.
Among the many offerings added to the platform this month, we’ve highlighted some of our favorites. A much-beloved and riveting reality show returns for its sixth season and we can’t wait to revel in the drama. In a new, lighthearted show, a comedian-magician lights up the world with a series of twisted pranks. A critically acclaimed horror movie hits the platform — and it’s guaranteed to send chills through your spine. And a moving biopic follows the no-nonsense father who coached his two daughters to greatness.
Best New Movies and Shows Coming to Netflix in April
The Magic Prank Show With Justin Willman (Avail. 4/1/24)
Magician and comedian Justin Willman uses his toolbox of skills to pull off weird and hilarious pranks like you’ve never seen. Backed up by a team of likeminded oddballs, Willman pulls off brain-bending experiences to blow people’s minds and settle old scores.
Baby Driver (Avail. 4/1/24)
Baby is a young, music-obsessed orphan with a side job as a getaway driver for a nefarious villain. Thanks to the perfect soundtrack that he assembles for each heist, he’s able to ensure that his ragtag team of criminals get away with the goods every time. But when he suddenly falls in love with a kind waitress, Baby hopes to exit the life for good. Easier said than done.
Split (Avail. 4/1/24)
Kevin (James McAvoy) has dozens of personalities — but he’s only introduced 23 to his well-meaning therapist. One last personality is hiding within him and dominating all of his other, more vulnerable selves. When Kevin is compelled to abduct three teenage girls, however, his personalities must face off, once and for all.
Space Jam: A New Legacy (Avail. 4/2/24)
If you remember the ’90s version of this surprisingly classic kids movie, you’ll be pleased to know that younger generations can now enjoy an updated version of the fun. LeBron James and his young son, Dom, get trapped in digital space by a rogue AI. To get home safely, James teams up with none other than the Looney Tunes gang for yet another high stakes basketball game.
Scoop (Avail. 4/5/24)
Remember watching that cringy interview between BBC’s Emily Maitlis and Prince Andrew? The one that seemingly led to his stepping back from royal duties? Yeah…that one. If you can believe it, the story that led up to that sit-down is just as compelling as what happened during it. Thankfully, all of it’s been turned into a movie debuting on Netflix this month. Inspired by real events, Scoop is the inside account of the tenacious journalism that landed Prince Andrew’s infamous BBC Newsnight appearance.
