New Netflix Shows and Movies in April 2025

After a slightly barren March, Netflix is springing back in full bloom this April. Two of the streamer's most popular series are returning, starting with Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, which with every season becomes disturbingly closer to our present reality. The cast for the dystopian series' seventh season is stacked, featuring returning stars, like Cristin Milioti and Will Poulter, and new additions, including Emma Corrin, Paul Giamatti, and Issa Rae. Another chilling Netflix drama coming back in April is You. The fifth and final season of the thriller brings Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg back to New York City as he confronts his inner demons one last time.

Also fighting demons — though an entirely different kind — is Dante, the charming hunter at the center of Netflix's upcoming animated series Devil May Cry. The video game adaptation is one of the new series to watch out for in April, along with the new medical procedural Pulse and the romantic contemporary Western Ransom Canyon. For something a little more under the radar, don't miss the Northern Canadian comedy North of North and Pangolin: Kulu's Journey, the latest from the team behind the Oscar-winning My Octopus Teacher. It's about a pangolin!

Here are our most anticipated Netflix shows and movies for the month, plus the full list of everything coming to and leaving Netflix in April.

The best new Netflix movies and shows in April

Pulse (April 3)

Described by Netflix as its first English-language medical procedural, Pulse takes place at a Level 1 Trauma Center in Miami. The facility is already busy enough on its own, but the series begins just as the city is being hit by a deadly hurricane. In the midst of the chaos, Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) is promoted to chief resident, a role she absolutely does not want — and one that was previously held by Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell), with whom Danny has a secret past. Pulse also stars Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, and Justina Machado. [Trailer]

Devil May Cry (April 3) 

Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen's Gojo and Tokyo Ghoul's Kaneki, meet your new platinum-haired 2D crush. Dante, the lead of Netflix's animated series Devil May Cry, is the new kid in town ready to fight his way to your heart. Only he's not really new, since the show is an adaptation of Capcom's hit video game of the same name. And there's a cause far more important here than winning our affections: Portals between the human and demon realms are about to be opened, and Dante may be the only hope in stopping the demons from an outright conquest. [Trailer]

Black Mirror Season 7 (April 10)

The dystopian anthology series from Charlie Brooker is finally back. Black Mirror Season 7 features six episodes, including a sequel to the critically acclaimed "USS Callister" from Season 4. Cristin Milioti reprises her role as Nanette Cole, who now captains the crew that revolted against Jesse Plemons' Robert Daly. Season 7 might also feature a follow-up to the interactive film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, as both Will Poulter and Asim Chaudhry — who starred as the prodigious game designer Colin Ritman and the founder of Tuckersoft, Mohan Thakur, respectively — have been announced as part of this season's cast.

Ransom Canyon (April 17)

Yellowstone meets Virgin River and Friday Night Lights in Ransom Canyon, a contemporary Western family drama with a romantic side. Set in Texas, the show stars Josh Duhamel as Staten Kirkland, a stoic rancher trying to hold on to his way of life, and Minka Kelly as Quinn O'Grady, a longtime family friend who returns to town after pursuing a career as a concert pianist in New York. Netflix's Tudum teases plenty of fun details, including a family feud going back generations (for Staten), a lavender farm (for Quinn), and a love triangle (for both of them), obviously. And yes, high school football is involved. -Kelly Connolly [Teaser]

You Season 5 (April 24)

In the final season of You, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) is back where it all began: New York City. Only this time, he's experiencing the Big Apple as a member of the ultra-rich, thanks to his marriage to Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) — now the CEO of the Lockwood Corporation. Picking up three years after the couple left London, You Season 5 follows the serial killer as he develops a connection with playwright Bronte (Madeline Brewer). Old habits die hard, and it shouldn't take long before Joe's new public image as Prince Charming crumbles. [Teaser] [Everything to know about You Season 5]
