The TV Answer Man – Follow me on X.

Netflix this week (April 20-26, 2025) plans to add 12 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here’s the one to watch, in my humble opinion.

You, Season five – Netflix Original Series
Release Date: Thursday, April 24.
Never say Netflix is shy about offering shows in the serial killer category. You, which this month enters its fifth season, stars Penn Badgley as the predatory professor and he’s actually quite good in the role despite the narrative’s predictability. In season five, Badgley’s Joe moves to New York, marries a wealthy socialite, and proceeds to take his knife to the Big Apple, one slash at a time. First four seasons are now available on Netflix.

Bonus Pick: Havoc, a 2025 action film starring Tom Hardy as a detective who must rescue a politician’s son trapped in the criminal underworld. Netflix original debuts Friday, April 25.
