Netflix in April will take us back to Hawkins, Indiana, for a Stranger Things animated series that takes place in the winter between Seasons 2 and 3: Stranger Things: Tales of '85! But that's not all. Buckle up for the brutal reckoning of a Man on Fire series, a second season of the acclaimed Beef, a bunch of Mission Impossible movies (save for the final three), the Madagascar franchise (plus those pesky Penguins!), movies featuring killer sharks and mauling lions, and a "survive the psycho" wilderness flick starring Charlize Theron!
So even while you ponder the how/why/who of Netflix raising its prices once again, here's a rundown of every series, special, movie, and doc landing on Netflix in April...
