MW UPDATE: Here's what's coming to Netflix in April 2021 -- and what's leaving

By Mike Murphy

The fantasy thriller 'Shadow and Bone,' a new season of 'The Circle' and star-studded movies are on tap

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 $(NFLX)$ also has some star-studded original movies on the way, including "Concrete Cowboy" (April 2), a Black cowboy drama set in Philadelphia 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.

For more:

Also of note: The British series "The Serpent" (April 2), about a serial killer who preyed on travelers on India's "hippie trail" in the 1970s, based on real events; "Dolly Parton: A MusiCares Tribute" (April 7), a celebrity musical tribute to the country music icon; "This Is a Robbery: The World's Biggest Art Heist" (April 7), a docuseries about a notorious Boston museum heist in 1990; and "Life in Color with David Attenborough" (April 22), an Earth Day-themed documentary about the way animals use color.

      i guess more of their marketing strategy. $DIS doesn’t have that many products to offer but market them extremely well.
