Yahoo News What to watch on Netflix in April 2024 from Scoop to Ripley
Rebel Moon Part 2 and Dead Boy Detectives will also be available to stream
What's new on Netflix in April? The new month means Netflix and other streaming services will be launching new shows and films for subscribers to dig into over the course of the next four weeks.
There's a lot to enjoy on Netflix, from royal dramas to exciting new literary adaptations, to Zack Snyder's latest chapter in his new sci-fi film series. But aside from the big titles there will also be some hidden gems coming out in April including a new Korean drama from the creator of Train to Busan, and an unsung spin-off from the Sandman franchise.
With that in mind, let's dig into the shows and films to watch on Netflix in April with our thanks to What's On Netflix for the data.
Ripley | 4 April
Andrew Scott stars in a brand new adaptation of Talented Mr Ripley, which will tell the story of its character Tom Ripley over the course of six episodes. Set in Italy in the 1960s, Tom is hired to help find and convince a man's son, Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), to return home.

By doing so, Tom is immersed in a life of deceit, fraud, and murder that he may never come back from. The series also stars Dakota Fanning as Dickie's girlfriend Marge Sherwood.
Scoop | 5 April
Prince Andrew's Newsnight interview in 2019 was watched by millions, where he faced questions over allegations of sex trafficking with Jeffrey Epstein. Netflix is examining how the interview came to be, from Sam McAlister's mission to get the scoop and Emily Maitlis' interview itself.
The film stars Gillian Anderson as Maitlis, Rufus Sewell as Prince Andrew, and Billie Piper as McAlister, respectively. The accusations and interview led to Prince Andrew stepping away from his royal duties and paying a financial settlement to his alleged victim, Virginia Giuffre, who was 17 at the time of the alleged incident.
Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver | 19 April
Zack Snyder continues his Rebel Moon film series with The Scargiver, the follow up to 2023's A Child of Fire. The film follows Kora (Sofia Boutella) and her fellow warriors as they fight to survive their new home planet from the nefarious fighters of the Realm.

Boutella is joined by Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Bae Doona, Ray Fisher, and Jena Malone amongst the ensemble cast. The film promises to be another caper full of Snyder's signature action-packed scenes, slow-motion, and brutal violence.
Parasyte: The Grey | 5 April
Parasyte is a unique manga series by Hitoshi Iwaaki, which imagines a world where humans become infected by parasites and take over their brains. Yeon Sang-Ho, the creator of Train to Busan, is adapting the story for a Korean setting and follows a group known as Team Grey who are trying to fight the parasites that are plaguing Earth.
Dead Boy Detectives | April TBC
Neil Gaiman's Sandman is one of Netflix's big success stories so it's no wonder that a spin-off series is in the works called Dead Boy Detectives. The series follows Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) and Edwin Paine (George Rexstrew), who decide solve supernatural crimes rather than move onto the afterlife after their deaths.
While very little has been revealed about the series ahead of its release, what we do know is that one member of the Endless will make a cameo in the series. Whether this will be Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) or Dream (Tom Sturridge) is yet to be seen.
