What’s New on Netflix in April 2021, Including ‘Shadow and Bone’ and ‘Stowaway’
The popular YA novels from Leigh Bardugo have been adapted into a “Shadow and Bone” Netflix series. An orphan in a war-torn nation discovers she has mystical powers that could change the world. “Serpent” focuses on a true-crime story: A serial killer who attacked hippie travelers in India in the 1970s.
The stars come out, too: Idris Elba leads the drama “Concrete Cowboy,” Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer co-star in the superhero comedy “Thunder Force,” and Anna Kendrick, Toni Colette and Daniel Dae Kim headline the sci-fi thriller “Stowaway.”
Also, Dolly Parton gets her own musical tribute this month, while art lovers can enjoy “This Is a Robbery: The World’s Biggest Art Heist,” a docuseries about an extraordinary Boston museum theft in 1990 in which 13 masterpieces were stolen. And for Earth Day, “Life in Color with David Attenborough” celebrates how animals employ color for attraction and protection.
