Spring is officially here, and Netflix is not holding back. April is shaping up to be one of the most loaded months of the year, packed with some genuinely exciting premieres, returning fan favorites, and a library drop that covers pretty much every genre imaginable. Beef returns as a full anthology series with a stunning new cast, Stranger Things fans get an animated trip back to Hawkins, and the Mission Impossible and Madagascar franchises land in full on the platform. Add in a live heavyweight boxing match, Emma Stone in a Yorgos Lanthimos sci-fi comedy, and Dan Levy creating his most ambitious project yet, and April is the kind of month that makes it very hard to leave the couch.
For more of what to stream and the latest in entertainment, New York Style Guide has you covered all month long.
