Netflix is rolling out an exciting lineup of new content this April, giving us plenty of reasons to stay glued to our screens. Let me walk you through some of the most anticipated releases and hidden gems coming to the streaming platform.
Must-Watch New Originals
Lost in Space is arguably the biggest premiere this month, offering a modern reimagining of the classic sci-fi series. The Robinson family’s adventure through space features stunning visual effects and a compelling family drama that should appeal to viewers of all ages. It’s the kind of show that makes you want to gather the whole family on the couch.
Another standout is Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) Part 2, which continues the intense Spanish crime drama that’s become a global phenomenon. If you haven’t started Part 1 yet, now’s the perfect time to catch up – trust me, you won’t be able to stop watching.
Comedy Highlights
Seth Rogen’s Hilarity for Charity brings together an all-star lineup of comedians for a variety special that’s both funny and meaningful, as it raises awareness for Alzheimer’s disease. Speaking of comedy, don’t miss Chef’s Table: Pastry, which offers a mouth-watering look at the world’s most innovative dessert chefs.
Classic Movies Making a Return
For those who love revisiting favorites, Scarface and The Iron Giant are making their way back to Netflix this month. These classics hold up remarkably well and are perfect for both first-time viewers and those looking to relive these masterpieces.
Hidden Gems to Discover
Keep an eye out for Ram Dass, Going Home, a touching documentary about the spiritual teacher and author. It’s one of those quiet, contemplative films that might not make headlines but offers a deeply moving viewing experience.
The Boss Baby: Back in Business is also launching this month. While it might seem like just another kids’ show, it actually offers some clever humor that parents will appreciate too.
What to Binge First
If you’re wondering where to start, I’d recommend jumping into Lost in Space first – it’s going to be the talk of the month, and you’ll want to avoid spoilers. Follow that up with Money Heist, but make sure you’ve got time to watch multiple episodes because it’s incredibly addictive.
For those nights when you can’t decide what to watch, keep Hilarity for Charity in your back pocket. It’s perfect for when you need some laughs but don’t want to commit to a full series.
Remember, some of these titles might only be available for a limited time, so prioritize the ones you’re most interested in. Happy streaming!
