So, whether you want to watch a drama, documentary or reality TV series, here is a list of the best releases coming to Netflix this April. Happy streaming!
Ripley
Based on the best-selling book, our favourite Andrew Scott (sorry, Paul and Cillian!) plays Tom Ripley, a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York who is hired to bring a wealthy man's son home from Italy.
Soon, Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder. Can't wait!
Releasing on 4 April
SCOOP
Inspired by that Prince Andrew interview, this drama follows BBC producer Sam McAlister and journalist Emily Maitlis from the high stakes negotiations with Buckingham Palace to the jaw dropping, forensic showdown with the Prince.
SCOOP takes us inside the story, with the women who would stop at nothing to get it.
Releasing on 5 April
What Jennifer Did
This documentary follows a violent crime that shook a quiet Canadian town, after intruders break into the home of Vietnamese immigrants, terrorise the family and leave a traumatised daughter as the only witness.
Using police interrogation footage and testimony from those involved, we unravel a web of complexities that no one saw coming.

We're back at Hartley High for term two as Amerie faces new challenges as a mystery assailant targets her, Darren grapples with his relationship with Cash and even more drama, laughter, and heartbreak along the way.
