April is shaping up to be an exciting month for Netflix subscribers, as the streaming giant delivers a mix of fresh releases and beloved returning series. With just days to go, the platform is set to drop a lineup that caters to all tastes—whether you love heart-pounding action, gripping dramas, or animated adventures. After diving into the upcoming releases, it’s clear Netflix is pulling out all the stops to keep viewers hooked.
What makes this month’s releases stand out is their perfect blend of A-list talent and inventive storytelling. From high-stakes thrillers to long-awaited series comebacks, April’s offerings feel like a reward for loyal subscribers. Rather than overwhelming audiences with too many options, Netflix is focusing on quality over quantity, ensuring your watchlist stays packed with must-see content. Let’s take a closer look at the highlights you won’t want to miss.
‘Devil May Cry’ – April 3
Capcom’s iconic game gets the anime treatment in Devil May Cry, directed by Adi Shankar (Castlevania). Johnny Yong Bosch voices Dante, the wisecracking demon hunter, leading a crew of stylish fighters in this fast-paced, blood-soaked action series.
Premiering April 3, the show follows Dante as he slices through demonic hordes with his signature wit. The animation looks sleek, and with just eight episodes, it promises a tight, no-nonsense thrill ride. Whether you’re a fan of the games or just love monster-slaying chaos, this could be your April standout.
‘Black Mirror’ Season 7 – April 10
Charlie Brooker returns as the mastermind behind Black Mirror Season 7, delivering six new episodes of dystopian dread. While casting details are still under wraps, expect the usual mix of fresh faces and possibly a few surprise stars. Known for its dark, tech-driven parables, the anthology series continues to explore the unsettling consequences of humanity’s obsession with innovation.
Dropping April 10, this season is sure to deliver mind-bending narratives—think eerie AI, virtual nightmares, and other twisted tales that’ll make you rethink your relationship with technology. After the long wait since Season 6, this comeback is a treat for fans of thought-provoking, twist-heavy storytelling.
‘You’ Season 5 – April 24
Joe Goldberg’s chilling saga comes to an end in You Season 5, with Sera Gamble and Greg Berlanti at the helm as showrunners. Penn Badgley reprises his role as the obsessive stalker, joined by Charlotte Ritchie and newcomer Madeline Brewer. This psychological thriller has kept audiences guessing, and now, it’s time for the final chapter.
Premiering April 24, the season finds Joe back in New York, confronting past demons while entangled in a new dangerous obsession. Since this is reportedly the last season, expect high stakes and (possibly) some form of closure—though with Joe, nothing is ever straightforward. Dark, addictive, and perfect for a binge, this is a must-watch for longtime fans.
‘Havoc’ – April 25
Tom Hardy stars in Havoc, a gritty action thriller directed by Gareth Evans (The Raid). Hardy plays a battered detective navigating a brutal underworld, supported by a stellar cast including Forest Whitaker and Timothy Olyphant. This isn’t your typical hero story—it’s raw, relentless, and packed with the bone-crunching action Evans is known for.
The plot follows Hardy’s detective as he investigates a botched drug deal, only to uncover a conspiracy that hits too close to home. After years in development, the trailer promises dark, high-octane chaos with brutal fight sequences. If you’re craving an adrenaline rush, mark your calendar for April 25.
‘The Eternaut’ – April 30
Based on the acclaimed Argentinian comic, The Eternaut is a sci-fi series directed by Bruno Stagnaro. Ricardo Darín stars as Juan Salvo, a man fighting for survival during an alien invasion, with Carla Peterson and others rounding out the cast. Unlike flashy sci-fi spectacles, this series leans into a moody, character-driven apocalypse.
Arriving April 30, the show follows Juan and a desperate group battling extraterrestrial threats and a deadly snowstorm in Buenos Aires. With its slow-burn tension and emotional depth, The Eternaut offers a fresh take on the genre—ideal for viewers who prefer their sci-fi with substance.
