April may bring showers, but it also comes with some great films and television shows featuring Black talent. In the coming weeks, Netflix subscribers can view content in the genres of action, comedy, suspense, and more.
To start the month off, the streamer will add the 1998’s The Negotiator, a crime drama starring the legendary Samuel L. Jackson. The Spike Lee-directed Inside Man, premieres April 1, and tells the story of an elaborate bank heist on Wall Street over a 24-hour period. The film stars Denzel Washington as Detective Keith Frazier, the NYPD’s hostage negotiator.
April is also National Humor Month, and in celebration of it, Netflix will air the highly-touted standup special from Mo’Nique titled My Name is Mo’Nique. Directed by L. Frazier and executive produced by Mo’Nique and her husband, Sidney Hicks, My Name Is Mo’Nique will balance comedy with insights about the comedian’s life and upbringing in Baltimore. The Precious star announced she would be shooting a fresh original comedy special for the streamer back in July, building anticipation for the upcoming project.
Several other movies and network programs are hitting the DSP later this month. So, take a look at what’s new and Black on Netflix in April.
