Gripping drama, a cosy new documentary from Sir David Attenborough and a return to the Stranger Things universe are all coming in the next few weeks.

The clocks may have gone forward for spring, but it doesn’t look like the wet evenings are going away just yet.

Luckily, while we’re all trying to stay out of the rain, Netflix has something to keep us entertained this April, whether you’re in the mood for a gentle YA series, a competitive reality TV, a dramatic action flick or a new spin-off of one of Netflix’s most popular shows ever.

Netflix says: “Once again, the series follows members of the neurodivergent community as they navigate the unpredictable world of first dates, budding relationships, and meaningful connections.
