Netflix is adding a mix of action, drama, and returning favorites to its library this April. Highlights include the long-awaited Tom Hardy action film Havoc, the beginning of the end for You, and a new season of the tech-dystopian anthology Black Mirror.
Here’s the Lowdown: Tom Hardy stars in Havoc (April 25), directed by Gareth Evans (The Raid), playing a detective navigating corruption after a drug deal goes wrong. Ransom Canyon (April 17) brings Western drama with Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly. Medical drama Pulse (April 10) stars Willa Fitzgerald in a Miami ER setting. The final season of You (April 24) sees Joe Goldberg returning to familiar territory, while Black Mirror Season 7 (April 10) arrives with new sci-fi tales, including a follow-up to “USS Callister.”
What This Means Now: These additions cater to various tastes. Havoc looks set for action fans, Ransom Canyon targets the Yellowstone audience, and Pulse enters the popular medical drama space. The return of You and Black Mirror brings back established series with dedicated followings for their concluding and new chapters, respectively. Also notable is Young Sheldon Season 7 arriving April 15.
The Bigger Picture: April also sees numerous licensed films added, like Heat, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, and The Breakfast Club (all April 1). However, significant titles are also leaving, including Interstellar, How to Train Your Dragon films, the Rush Hour trilogy (all leaving April 1), Hereditary (April 15), and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (April 16).
