Charles Melton, Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac, and Cailee Spaeny, Beef
NetflixIf you have plans this April, cancel them; there's too much TV to watch. Netflix's lineup alone is packed with options, like the second season of Beef, which retools the former limited series into an anthology and brings in a new cast of heavy hitters — Oscar Isaac, Charles Melton, Carey Mulligan, and Cailee Spaeny — to play a pair of couples who've got the titular beef. New shows this April include Dan Levy's crime comedy Big Mistakes and a series adaptation of Man on Fire starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Plus, Kate Hudson's basketball comedy Running Point is back on the court for Season 2, and XO, Kitty returns for Season 3 — with Lana Condor reprising her role as Lara Jean Covey. We couldn't even fit those last two titles on our list of the month's highlights. That's how many highlights there are.
Here are the shows and movies coming to Netflix in April — as well as what's leaving.

The best new Netflix movies and shows in April
Dan Levy and Boran Kuzum, Big Mistakes
Spencer Pazer/NetflixBig Mistakes (April 9)
Schitt's Creek's Dan Levy knows how to write a comedy about adult siblings bickering their way through a crisis they're not equipped to handle. In Big Mistakes, those siblings get in over their heads when they're blackmailed into the world of organized crime. Levy, who created the show with Rachel Sennott, stars alongside Taylor Ortega and Laurie Metcalf, who's never a mistake to cast. Jack Innanen, Abby Quinn, Boran Kuzum, and Elizabeth Perkins round out the ensemble. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]
Beef Season 2 (April 16)
Was Beef supposed to be a limited series? Yes. Did it run in the limited series categories during its 2023 awards push? Also yes. Can we forgive a case of category fraud, just this once? Yes, and with a Season 2 cast that includes Oscar Isaac, Charles Melton, Carey Mulligan, Cailee Spaeny, and Youn Yuh-jung, who could possibly blame us? The second season of Lee Sung Jin's dramedy follows a young couple (played by Melton and Spaeny) who witness an alarming fight between their country club manager boss and his wife (played by Isaac and Mulligan). -Allison Picurro [Teaser]
Stranger Things: Tales From '85 (April 23)
If you thought the horrors of the Upside Down were going away after the final season of Stranger Things, think again. The animated series Stranger Things: Tales From '85 is taking us back to Hawkins and to the stories of familiar characters, including Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max, as they battle new threats. As of now, no actor from the original series has been announced to reprise their role. But Tales From '85 is being produced by Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, and Netflix has announced that the events in the new show officially take place in between Stranger Things Seasons 2 and 3. -Kat Moon [Teaser]
Apex (April 24)
It's always a good time to watch a Charlize Theron action movie. In the thriller Apex, Theron plays a grieving woman whose solo trip to the Australian Outback takes a deadly turn when a ruthless killer (Taron Egerton) begins hunting her for fun. And yes, according to Netflix's Tudum, the stars did plenty of their own stunts. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]
Man on Fire (April 30)
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars in Man on Fire as John Creasy, a former special forces mercenary suffering from PTSD who gets pulled back into violence as a vigilante looking for revenge. If you like action, this has seven episodes of it! Man on Fire is based on A. J. Quinnell's 1980 book, which was also the basis for the 1987 Scott Glenn and 2004 Denzel Washington films of the same name. -Tim Surette [Teaser]
