What's New On Netflix In April 2021: Concrete Cowboy, The Circle, And More-December 2024
Netflix is pushing out plenty of new movies, TV shows, and original content in April 2021. Plan accordingly because there is a lot to keep track of. Check out the full list of new releases for Netflix in April below.
Arriving on April 2 is Concrete Cowboy, an Idris Elba-starring drama based upon the novel Ghetto Cowboy by Greg Neri--which in turn was inspired by the real life Black urban cowboys in North Philadelphia. Whether you first became a fan of Elba's via The Wire or The Office, or maybe you know him only as Heimdall from The Avengers and Thor movies, this movie seems like it will have room for all of the actor's impressive range. Concrete Cowboy, and Elba especially, has plenty of pathos, absurdity, and comedy on display.
Later in the month, on April 14, The Circle comes back for Season 2. The popular unscripted competition series proved polarizing and also essential viewing--for those who missed it, The Circle is a dating show where contestants live in an apartment by themselves, and can only communicate with other contestants by social media. As vaccines are finally rolling out, and we begin to hopefully venture out into the world again, it may both bring back memories and even trigger nostalgia for 2020--who would've thought that might be possible?
Finally, the month kicks off on April 1 with Worn Stories, a docuseries that has "real people unpack the fascinating and quirky stories around their most meaningful pieces of clothing." An interesting counterbalance to organizing consultant and author Marie Kondo's system and series simply called Tidying Up--Worn Stories is all about the reasons why people hold onto their belongings.
You can also check out what's coming to Prime Video, HBO Max, Hulu, and Shudder next month. Below, according to TV Guide, here's everything coming to Netflix in April.
