Netflix has a busy month in store this April, thanks to the release of a blockbuster new film and a spin-off to one of the streaming service’s most successful shows.

This month will see the release of Apex, a new survival thriller starring Charlize Theron, as well as the second season of Beef. New episodes will focus on a different set of characters played by Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny.

There’ll also be the chance to return to the world of Stranger Things in animated series Tales From ’85, which fills in the gaps between seasons two and three of the hit live-action version of the show.

The series is set in Hawkins in the winter of 1985, where "the original characters must fight new monsters and unravel a paranormal mystery".

Find the full list of every movie and TV show being added to Netflix this month below – and find a compilation of everything being removed this month here.
