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

Andrew Scott in Ripley.
Netflix

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 50 best movies on Netflix right now (April 2024)
Staz Nair and Djimon Hounsou in Rebel Moon: – Part Two The Scargiver.

It's always a bit of an adventure to try and stay ahead of the most popular movies on Netflix, especially when films like the unheralded 2019 action thriller Anna leap to the very top of the list. Because after spending a lot of money on Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, Netflix would obviously like to see that original film land in the top spot. Time will tell if the second half of Rebel Moon outperforms the first part. but action fans are really going to enjoy their movie nights this weekend.

Fortunately, Netflix isn't reliant on any single genre. The streamer has a vast library of original movies across all genres, including comedies, dramas, thrillers, romantic comedies, horror, and more. And we've put together the standout titles in our roundup of the best movies on Netflix right now.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (April 2024)
Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook.

There's only a week-and-a-half left in April, but Amazon Prime Video subscribers are still getting a steady supply of movies to watch. While there aren't any splashy Prime Video originals or prominent new additions like The Exorcist: Believer this week, Amazon is giving romance fans a chance to revisit The Notebook for its upcoming 20th anniversary, while action fans can watch Jason Statham do what he does best in Wrath of Man.

For viewers with families, perhaps Universal and Illumination's Minions: The Rise of Gru would be a better choice for your weekend movie night. Regardless of where your tastes lie, Prime Video has something for almost every movie lover. And you can find all of your top options in our roundup of the best movies on Amazon Prime Video right now.

The 31 best Netflix drama shows right now (April 2024)
The cast of Black Sails.

It's not often that Netflix gets to add a pirate drama to its lineup of shows, simply because there aren't many live-action pirate series to begin with. But since Starz already spent the money to produce Black Sails a decade ago, Netflix gets to reap the benefits by adding it. Similarly, BBC America's spy thriller Killing Eve is also joining Netflix this month. Both shows had multiseason runs, which make them perfect for bingeing.

Our third addition to the lineup in April is One Day, a romantic drama that chronicles a relationship through its beginning and all the way to the end. One Day also has a lot of episodes compared to other Netflix originals, and you'll want to keep some tissues handy because it's a tearjerker. Keep reading for these and more of the best dramas on Netflix right now.
