Ah, spring! A season of newness, when trees are filled with blossoms and cute little lambs frolic around fields. That’s nice and all – but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t more preoccupied with the upcoming bounty of films and TV shows that are about to hit Netflix.
Because as much as the spring sunshine inspires us to go outside, there’s nothing better than a night on the sofa with a gripping thriller or uplifting comedy. Thankfully, the streaming gods provide us with a constant stream of entertainment year round, with something for every mood and occasion. Need proof? Just look at what they’ve got in store for the next few months.
The best new shows and films coming to Netflix this spring
We know the feeling: you log into Netflix and spend so long searching for something to watch that you eventually give up. To save you the headache, we’ve combed through all of Netflix’s upcoming releases to give you the lowdown on what’s worth your time.
And there’s plenty to get excited about. Take Vladimir, for example, the new sexy psychological thriller series starring Rachel Weisz and Leo Woodall, based on Julia May Jonas’ critically-acclaimed book of the same name. Or Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, a horror-based limited series from the minds behind Baby Reindeer and Stranger Things.
Elsewhere, you’ll find the much anticipated return of beloved series such as Virgin River, Beef and XO, Kitty, while new dating show Age of Attraction will scratch our reality TV itch with an age gap-themed twist.
Films more your thing? Look no further than Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, Tommy Shelby’s epic feature-length outing that hits Netflix just weeks after its cinematic release. Then there’s Charlize Theron’s Apex, a high-octane survival thriller which sees the actor race through the wilderness to escape a hunter.
Finally, you can rely on national treasures Sir David Attenborough and Louis Theroux to provide your documentary fix, with new projects shining light on the lives of gorillas and the murky world of the manosphere, respectively. Stock up your snack cupboard – you’re about to spend a lot of time on the sofa.
