As we enter into the first full month of spring, we plan on spending as much time outdoors as possible. But in reality, we all know that April brings with it lots of rain, so we are totally okay with spending a little more time catching up on the best TV shows and movies available while we still can.
Like we really needed an excuse to not leave the house, right? Just blame it on the rain!
There is something relaxing about the steady flow of rain drops that makes us just want to curl up on the couch, order a pizza and put on the TV.
Now all we need is some entertaining things to watch, and luckily, a new month means new movies and TV shows ready to stream.
Here are the best new movies and TV series available in April on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Instant Video streaming services in April 2015.
Streaming On Netflix
There are lots of good movies and TV shows coming to Netflix in April, so you will have plenty of content to watch throughout the month.
Some note-worthy movies coming as soon as the first of the month are Underworld (2003), Suicide Kings (1997) and Leprechaun 6: Back 2 tha Hood (2003), but Leprechaun 3 and 4 will also be available in case you are still hungover from St. Patrick's Day.
However, those wanting a religious movie to get into the Easter spirit will have to wait to watch Noah (2014) until April 18.
Later in month, The Identical (2014), A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014), and National Treasure (2004) will be available.
