What's coming and going on Netflix for April 2015
On April 1, Netflix is giving a lot of movies the axe, no joke. Not to worry -- here's what's replacing them.
Editors' Note, April 17, 2015: Revised Netflix additions section.
On Netflix, April 1 is a slaughter -- no fooling around.
Leaving are all the "Friday the 13th" movies available, that is, parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8. Also going away are all of "The Karate Kid" movies (and before you ask, that means the '80s ones), plus some serial killer thrillers like the Angelina Jolie vehicle "Taking Lives."
To replace these classics, Netflix is launching one of its most anticipated original series, " Daredevil," on April 10; followed the next week by Chris D'Elia's "Incorrigible." Also coming are Simon Pegg in cop spoof "Hot Fuzz," and critically underrated "The Beautician and the Beast." And if that's not enough, the final season of "Sons of Anarchy" will be available to help ease your pain.
Here's the full list of Netflix additions -- note that dates are subject to change and this post will be updated as new information comes.
