What's Coming to and Leaving Netflix in April 2021

Spring has sprung, and as usual Netflix has a variety of offerings for every taste. Genre fans have been counting the days until the arrival of Shadow & Bone, which finally drops near the end of the month. Based on Leigh Bardugo's worldwide bestselling Grishaverse novels, Shadow& Bone stars Jesse Mei Li as Alina Starkov, an orphan who discovers she may be the key to freeing her country from a dark void known as The Shadow Fold. Ben Barnes also stars in the fantasy series, which combines Bardugo's Shadow & Bone novel with the follow-up novel Six of Crows and debuts April 23. 

On the lighter side, Gaten Matarazzo returns as host of a new season of Prank Encounters starting April 1. The second season season of the elaborate hidden camera show will involve surprises at haunted mansions and hidden burial grounds. Meanwhile, on April 2, his Stranger Things co-star Caleb McLaughlin stars in the anticipated Western drama Concrete Cowboy opposite Idris Elba.

If you've ever owned a piece of clothing that meant a lot to you, you'll want to check out Worn Stories, which is adapted from Emily Spivack's New York Times best-selling book and explores the connection between clothing and memory. The series debuts at the top of the month on April 1. 

Later in the month, The Circle returns for Season 2 on April 14. The reality competition about contestants who are isolated and can only communicate through social media started out as a gimmick; now, it's just life.

On the comedy side, there's Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! Jamie Foxx created the series and stars as Brian Dixon, a successful business owner and bachelor who just became a full-time father to his teenage daughter Sasha (Kyla-Drew Simmons). Determined to be the best father he can be, Brian's going to need all the help he can get from his dad (David Alan Grier) and sister (Porscha Coleman). The show is inspired by Foxx's real-life relationship with daughter Corinne Foxx, who also serves as executive producer.
