5 New Netflix Releases to Stream in April
Netflix always seems to toy with our hearts. Just when you get a good binge going of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, they take it away forever! That's right: on Apr. 1, seven seasons of Buffy will vanish forever. We must also bid adieu to other staples, like The Princess Bride, all seasons of The X-Files, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and so many more (all listed below). How could you do this to us Netflix? Bueller?
But while tons of favorites are disappearing for good, their April roster promises to deliver even more content to stream, from topnotch new originals to oldies debuting on the service for the first time (like Gremlins!).

CHELSEA
Chelsea Handler returns for a second season of her talk show, this time in an hour-long format that will stream every Friday starting on Apr. 14. You can expect even more killer celebs, hilarious jokes, and political commentary from the comedienne.
GIRLBOSS
This new original series, which launches Apr. 21, stars Britt Robertson as a young Sophia Amoruso, the founder of fashion empire Nasty Gal. It tells the story of how she turned her vintage clothing store on eBay into a multi-million dollar business.
DEAR WHITE PEOPLE
Kicking off on Apr. 28 is a new satirical series that picks up where the acclaimed film of the same name leaves off, following a group of college students of color as they navigate social injustice and political correctness in the modern era. Logan Browning stars.
BILL NYE SAVES THE WORLD
Bill Nye, the science guy, returns to the small screen on Apr. 21 with a new show that aims to dispell anti-scientific claims. Each episode will deal with a different topic through panel discussions, lab procedures, and special guests like Karlie Kloss.
CASTING JONBENET
It's Netflix's turn to document one of the most famous unsolved murders ever: the death of six-year-old pageant queen, JonBenet Ramsey. The filmmakers mix fiction and non-fiction filmmaking to examine all sides of the case.
