What’s Worth Streaming: Here’s what’s coming to Netflix in April 2021 — and what’s leaving

Netflix Inc. is releasing a slew of new stuff in April, including the return of a reality hit and a much-anticipated new fantasy series.

That would be “Shadow and Bone” (April 23), the series adaptation of the hugely popular YA novels from Leigh Bardugo. Jessie Mei Li stars as Alina, an orphan in a war-torn country who discovers she has mystical powers that could change the fate of her world.

There’s also a second season of “The Circle” (April 14), the cringingly addictive reality show where contestants flirt, befriend and catfish each other as they vie for a $ 100,000 prize. It’ll be released in a different format this time, with four episodes at a time dropping for three straight Wednesdays before the finale May 5.

Netflix NFLX, -3.45% also has some star-studded original movies on the way, including “Concrete Cowboy” (April 2), an urban cowboy drama starring Idris Elba; “Thunder Force” (April 9), a superhero comedy staring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer; and “Stowaway” (April 22), a sci-fi thriller starring Anna Kendrick, Toni Colette and Daniel Dae Kim.
