As April 2025 unfolds, Netflix continues to captivate audiences with a fresh lineup of films and series, including two new titles premiering this weekend. The streaming giant has made significant additions to its catalog, featuring both classic films and gripping original content that cater to a wide range of viewers.
This weekend, Netflix introduces two exciting new titles: Karma, a high-tension crime thriller, and TEST, a film centered around a historic cricket match. These new arrivals join an impressive array of films released earlier this month, including beloved classics like The Breakfast Club and Matilda.
Netflix's April 2025 content list is particularly noteworthy, as it includes a mix of nostalgic favorites and contemporary hits. The platform offers three subscription plans to accommodate different viewing preferences: the basic with ads plan at $7 per month, the standard plan at $15.50 per month, and the premium plan at $20 per month. While the premium plans allow full access to the streaming library, the basic plan limits content availability.
On Friday, April 5, Netflix premiered Karma, a series that explores the lives of six individuals caught in an unbreakable karmic loop, where reckless choices lead to dire consequences. Alongside this, TEST, a film about the intersecting lives of three people during a pivotal cricket match, also made its debut.
As subscribers dive into these new titles, they should also be aware of what’s leaving the platform. This weekend marks the departure of Serena, while several other titles are set to exit soon, including Megan Leavey on April 8, Pixels and Scream on April 11, A Quiet Place Part II on April 12, and Hereditary on April 15.
Beyond the new releases, Netflix has bolstered its library with an array of classic films that are now available for streaming. Among the notable additions are:
