In April 2024, Netflix is gearing up for a month packed with action and excitement, featuring some big titles on the OTT platform. To kick things off, viewers can expect Andrew Scott to grace the streaming platform with his new thriller series, “Ripley,” co-starring Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn. The series follows a wealthy man who hires down-on-his-luck grifter Tom Ripley to travel to Italy and persuade his vagabond son to return home. Tom’s acceptance of the job marks the beginning of a life filled with deceit, fraud, and murder.
Next up, we have the series “Parasyte: The Grey,” adapted from the manga series “Kiseijuu” by Iwaaki Hitoshi. This engaging and intriguing series depicts a group of humans waging war against the rising evil of unidentified parasitic life-forms that thrive off human hosts and seek to increase their power.
In the movies category, the crime/drama/thriller section looks particularly promising with titles such as “Stolen,” which will be available for streaming on April 12, alongside “Love, Divided,” a remake of a French romantic comedy. One of the most highly anticipated titles of the month for Netflix streamers is Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon โ Part Two: The Scargiver,” which delves deeper into the premise as a colony on the edge of the galaxy fights for survival against a tyrannical ruling force.
In addition to Netflix originals, the article also provides a comprehensive look at the OTT calendar, detailing what will be available to stream from April 1 onwards.
