Netflix's April Lineup Is Going To Be SO Entertaining

Netflix had the most significant year on record with 2020, and 2021 just keeps getting bigger. With about 60 original tiles arriving each month on the service, the "what's new on Netflix" list has become one of the most anticipated monthly announcements in streaming. This coming month may be the most exciting yet. So, what's coming to Netflix in April of 2021? There's a lot of new stuff, including heavy hitters like Shadow and Bone and Thunder Force.

When Netflix first launched original programming back in 2013, CEO Ted Sarandos had a specific objective. "The goal is to become HBO faster than HBO can become us," he said in a GQ article at the time. Ever since Game of Thrones became the biggest show on the planet, having a "fantasy blockbuster" has been one of Netflix's priorities. The Witcher and Bridgerton have both been massive hits in their respective monster fantasy and romance genres. Now, Netflix is launching a YA series that may be its biggest hit to date: Shadow and Bone.

A title of that magnitude would be enough for most streamers for an entire month, but this is Netflix, after all. April will also see the arrival of the UK's colossal hit The Serpent, a period true-crime drama. In reality programming, The Circle will return for Season 2. And in romantic comedies, the Australian series Why Are You Like This? will arrive on U.S. shores.

Netflix has several new offerings in movies, including Thunder Force, the Melissa McCarthy-Octavia Spencer superhero comedy. There's also Have You Ever Seen Fireflies, and This is A Robbery: The World's Biggest Art Heist. All that and a Dolly Parton musical documentary means April is just packed.
