Netflix’s April slate includes anticipated series, a reality prank show, and dark documentaries. Ripley (April 4) is based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley (you might be familiar with the 1999 movie of the same name). It’s now a black-and-white series starring Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning, and Johnny Flynn. Scott plays the titular character, a New York scam artist, in this eight-episode psychological thriller.
Later in the month is the season six premiere of The Circle (April 17), the reality competition show in which contestants fight to become the top social media influencer.
April Fool’s Day brings a new show from magician-comedian Justin Willman, whose Magic for Humans series has had three seasons on Netflix thus far. The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman (April 1) leans into elaborate pranks played on unsuspecting targets.
In the true crime genre, there’s feature-length What Jennifer Did (April 10) about the investigation into what appeared to be a deadly home invasion in Ontario, Canada in 2010, and Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer (April 3), which looks at a series of murders in the Berlin party scene in 2012.
Also in the documentary category is Our Living World (April 17), a new nature series narrated by Cate Blanchett, and The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem (April 5), which dives into the rise and impact of internet forum 4chan and is landing on Netflix following its recent premiere at SXSW Film Festival.
April’s comedy lineup includes a new hour from Demetri Martin (Demetri Deconstructed, April 2) and Neal Brennan’s third Netflix special (Crazy Good, April 9) covering everything from crypto to mental health, as well as specials from Jimmy Carr (Natural Born Killer, April 16) and Fern Brady (Autistic Bikini Queen, April 22).
Here’s everything else coming to (and leaving) Netflix in April.
