Here’s What’s Coming to Netflix in April 2019

Good news, it’s almost April which means Old Man Winter will soon be officially gone for another year (queue the sigh of relief). And while the weather is bound to get nicer, April, as we know, tends to be fairly rainy – April showers bring May flowers after all!

And nothing is better than curling up on the couch on a rainy day and watching movies (or binging TV shows).

Luckily, Netflix Canada announced everything that is coming to the streaming platform next month just in time for you to prepare for the movie marathon days coming up.
