What’s new on Netflix and what’s leaving in April 2024

Andrew Scott in Ripley.

In a way, Netflix is a victim of its own success. In addition to successfully launching 3 Body Problem and The Gentlemen in March, Netflix also had a hit with Damsel, a fantasy film starring Stranger Things‘ Millie Bobby Brown. But because Netflix is the No. 1 streamer and wants to stay on top, it can’t rest on its laurels in April.

That’s one of the reasons why Netflix is kicking off April with Ripley, which features Sherlock‘s Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley, the antihero from the 1999 thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley. Among the other originals coming this month are an animated update of the ’70s sitcom Good Times, DC’s Dead Boy Detectives, and Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver.

The best hidden gems on Netflix right now
Ahn Eun-jin in Goodbye Earth.

Have you ever come across a show on Netflix that was so particular to your taste that it felt like the series was made for you? If so, chances are good that it only got a single season on Netflix. No one has enough time to watch every series on Netflix, and the vast majority of them come and go with such speed that it's almost like they were never there at all.

This roundup of the best hidden gems on Netflix is dedicated to finding shows that deserve a second look, or at least an elevated push on Netflix's algorithm. This month, we're putting the spotlight on Goodbye Earth, a new Korean drama that dropped this week, as well as a nature documentary called Our Living World and a sitcom that was one of Netflix's one-season wonders: The Good Cop. You can find these three and more below in our roundup of the best hidden gems on Netflix.

3 Netflix shows we can’t wait to see in May 2024

Netflix killed it in April. From artsy thrillers like Ripley to supernatural fare like Dead Boy Detectives to the stalker drama Baby Reindeer, the streamer produced enough original content to justify its ever-increasing subscription rates ...  for now, at least.

Netflix's May programming slate doesn't appear to be as packed as April, but there are a few shows on our radar that are worth checking out. There's a big-budget adaptation of an acclaimed novel, a low-key comic mystery set on the Emerald Isle coast, and a show about a man and his puppet on a quest to find a missing child.

The best Netflix original movies right now
Micheal Ward and Bill Nighy in The Beautiful Game.

Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver and Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp may currently have higher places on the list of the most popular movies on Netflix, but they're not among our picks for the best Netflix original movies. Instead, our choices for the month of April are the sports drama The Beautiful Game and two biographical dramas: Scoop and Shirley.

Thankfully, Netflix offers fans more than just dramas. The streamer's vast library of original movies has a number of comedies, thrillers, sci-fi films, animated flicks, horror stories, and more. You can find them all in our roundup of the best Netflix original movies right now.
