What do a Jamaican bobsled team, Freddy Krueger, and Bill Nye have in common? Very little, I assume, but they’re all coming to Netflix in April!
Cool Runnings, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and new talk show Bill Nye Saves the World will all hit the streaming service this month.
More arrivals include a new stand-up special from Louis C.K., part two of The Get Down, a Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot, and movies such as Gremlins, Tropic Thunder, The Prestige, Schindler’s List, and Small Crimes (a Netflix original film starring Game of Thrones‘ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).
Unfortunately, we lose some classic movies such as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Princess Bride, and The Usual Suspects. Other departures include popular television shows The X-Files, House, and Ally McBeal. And it’s especially rough if you’re a fan of Joss Whedon series, as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse will all be gone on April 1.

An embarrassment to his parents and abandoned by his ex-wife, it seems as if things can’t get much worse. But then Joe finds himself trapped in the mess he left behind—in the cross fire between a crooked sheriff, the vengeful DA, and a mafia kingpin who knows too much. On Netflix April 28.
