What's New to Netflix in April 2017
Out with Buffy, in with Bill.
Netflix will lose some star players in April 2017, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ferris Bueller, but it will also bring us a lot of greats. We’ll see more of The Get Down, Documentary Now!, and Legends of Tomorrow, as well as a bunch of cinema classics.
If, when looking ahead to your forthcoming life without Firefly, you think, “What now?,” never fear: Kevin Hart will answer that question for you on April 11. [Bill Nye will save the world](https://www.inverse.com/article/27645-bill-nye-saves-the-world-premiere-date (finally) on April 21, and Louis C.K.’s got some new stand-up on the first of the month.
The highly-anticipated TV adaptation of Dear White People is coming at the end of April. A Netflix original movie starring Adam Sandler will appear midway through the month. And there will be plenty of time-honored films throughout: everything from Homeward Bound to Schindler’s List.
Check out the full list below.
