Every movie and show coming to Netflix in April
Even with Netflix’s recommendation algorithm serving you new movies, new TV shows, and original programming tailored to your viewing habits, the streaming service’s firehose of content makes what’s coming difficult to parse.
This month brings the big Rebel Moon sequel, along with a handful of comedy specials. There’s also a new season of Heartbreak High; supernatural mystery series Dead Boy Detectives; and a lot of true crime. From the back catalog, we have the OG Matrix Trilogy, You’ve Got Mail, and Black Sails.

Playing as Zagreus, you try (and fail) repeatedly to escape, encountering new locations and enemies, unlocking cool new weapons and building them up, and meeting some iconic figures from Greek mythology. Also, you can smooch a few people!
