Netflix has a slew of fresh original content, and beloved movies and TV shows, arriving in April 2022. The streaming platform recently announced it’d be releasing a new movie every week through the end of the year, and following the buzzy Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel and sci-fi adventure The Adam Project, you’re probably curious about what’s to come. Look no further, because we’ve rounded up every single title coming to and leaving Netflix in April.

One of the most highly anticipated projects hitting Netflix in April is the long-awaited Russian Doll Season 2, which will update viewers on Nadia Vulvokov’s journey through a never-ending time loop in New York City. Another series returning to the platform is Ozark, a fan-favorite crime drama starring Jason Bateman that’ll wrap with its final seven episodes. Of course, new titles arriving on Netflix means others will exit the streamer this month. Get ready to say goodbye to beloved series including Star Trek: The Next Generation and Dawson’s Creek, as well as the Jessica Chastain-led political thriller film Miss Sloane.

Whether you’re logging into your own account or a close friend’s — though Netflix just revealed it’ll soon launch fees for additional account users — the streaming platform will offer more than enough new titles for you to watch in April 2022.

What We’re Excited For

The Bubble

If you’re somehow not sick of movies about the still-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic yet, check out Netflix’s forthcoming The Bubble. Directed by Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin), the meta comedy follows a group of actors attempting to shoot the sequel to an action film featuring flying dinosaurs. But there’s one complication: it’s the height of the pandemic, and they’re all trapped in a filming bubble at a hotel. Starring Fred Armisen (Portlandia), Maria Bakalova (Borat 2), Kate McKinnon (SNL), Keegan-Michael Key (The Prom), and Apatow’s wife, Leslie Mann (The Other Woman), you can watch The Bubble when it hits the platform on April 1.

Russian Doll: Season 2

Viewers were first clued into New York City resident Nadia Vulvokov’s endless journey through a time loop that repeatedly sees her die and wake up at the same party when Russian Doll Season 1 premiered in early 2019. Created by Natasha Lyonne, Leslye Headland, and Amy Poehler, the series was renewed for Season 2 in June 2019, but the pandemic caused production to be delayed until March 2021. With new episodes arriving April 20, you’ll finally find out what happened after Nadia and Alan (Charlie Bennett) seemingly prevented each other’s deaths.

Ozark: Season 4 - Part 2

Netflix

Bateman and Laura Linney star in this hugely popular crime drama as a married couple who moves to the Lake of the Ozarks for a career in money laundering. With three Emmy awards and 28 additional nominations to its merit, viewers have been eagerly awaiting the series’ official conclusion since Part 1 of Season 4 dropped in January 2022. Also featuring Inventing Anna actor Julia Garner, the final seven episodes of Ozark are coming to Netflix on April 29.

What We’re Sad To See Go

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Seasons 1-7

This Peabody-winning series ran for seven seasons and marked the most successful Star Trek series yet during its 1987-1994 run. Set in the 24th century, The Next Generation explores the adventures of the USS Enterprise starship and those on board as they move throughout the Milky Way. Starring Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, and LeVar Burton as the main team of spacemen, you’ll want to check out Star Trek: The Next Generation before it leaves Netflix on April 1.

Miss Sloane

Jessica Chastain stars in this 2016 political thriller as lobbyist Elizabeth Sloane, who’s on a quest to pass gun control legislation. But her plans prove difficult, as powerful individuals of the opposite mindset pry into Elizabeth’s life and dig up personal information to complicate her goals. Despite underperforming at the box office upon its release, Miss Sloane received critical acclaim and earned Chastain a Golden Globe nomination, so you should give it a watch before it exits the streaming platform on April 18.

Dawson’s Creek

Created by Kevin Williamson, this teen drama ran from 1998 to 2003 and helped launched the careers of James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, and Busy Philipps. Set in fictional Capeside, Massachusetts, Dawson’s Creek centered on its main cast as high schoolers navigating life, friendships, and romance before following the characters into college. You don’t want to wait (pun intended) to marathon-watch all six seasons of the iconic series before it departs Netflix on April 30.
