No fooling, Netflix is going big on must-see content this month. There’s something for just about everyone coming to the streaming service, including action-packed anime, deep dive documentaries, romance, crime, international content, and much more. Here’s our guide to the hottest new shows and movies on the streaming service in April.
Devil May Cry (April 3)
The animated adaptation of Capcom’s over-the-top game series Devil May Cry has been in production since 2018, and the streaming landscape has changed a lot since then. Early previews show that the adaptation is maintaining the absurd combo-heavy action and questionable aesthetics (the introductory sequence is accompanied by Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin”) that we’ve come to love.
Bad Influence: The Dark Side Of Kidfluencing (April 9)
The corrosive power of social media and how it affects our brains is only growing, and one of the most questionable offshoots is the rise of family influencers who parade their kids in front of the cameras for likes and sponsorships. Bad Influence goes deep into this multi-billion dollar business to explore the lifelong consequences of growing up in front of the Internet.
You: Season 5 (April 24)
One of the guiltiest pleasures on Netflix is finally coming to an end. You stars Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg, an unassuming bookstore manager who needs to develop better boundaries in his relationships. Obsessive, determined, and impossible to look away from, he’s traveled around the world over the past four seasons and is now returning to New York for a fresh start, but there’s no doubt his past will catch up to him.
