Heartstopper new on Netflix for April 22nd, 2022
Happy Friday and welcome to your new on Netflix roundup where we’ve got a few days of new movies and TV shows to cover (my mistake – been traveling!) and we’ll also check in with what’s trending on Netflix’s top 10 charts.
No new titles are expected to arrive on Netflix over the weekend. Instead, we’d point you to the recently announced May 2022 lineup.
This weekend is the last chance to watch a number of titles. The BBC comedy series W1A departs on Sunday while this weekend is a good one to watch King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), The Artist (2011), and August: Osage County (2014) which all depart next week.
Best New Movies and Shows on Netflix for April 22nd
Heartstopper (Season 1)
Genre: Drama, Romance
Cast: Kit Connor, Joe Locke, William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell
Writer: Alice Oseman
Runtime: 28 mins
Love Sex Education? This is your next binge-watch. The teen series is adapted from the webcomic and graphic novel by Alice Oseman.
Here’s what you can expect from the new series:
“When gentle Charlie and rugby-loving Nick meet at secondary school, they quickly discover that their unlikely friendship is blossoming into an unexpected romance. Charlie, Nick and their circle of friends must navigate the ever-relatable journey of self discovery and acceptance, supporting each other as they learn to find their most authentic selves.”
Oprah + Viola: A Netflix Special Event (2022)
Genre: Documentary
Cast: Viola Davis, Oprah Winfrey
Runtime: 48 mins
Netflix has had a rotten time when it comes to talk shows over the years with no talk shows currently active on Netflix. Following the same formula as the Meghan Markle interview, Netflix is hoping that the talk show queen herself Oprah Winfrey hosting can bring Netflix more success.
In this special, Winfrey sits down with Viola Davis to discuss her life story and more.
