April 2026 is another big month for Netflix, marking the return of Stranger Things for an all-new animated spinoff, as well as the return of fan-favourite anthology series Beef.
March 2026 has overall been a big month for Netflix, with the return of massive series like One Piece, and the debuts of acclaimed new series like Vladimir. Looking ahead to April 2026, the same holds true. From the long-awaited return of award-winning drama Beef, to a new Stranger Things series taking us back to 1985, here’s our 8 most anticipated Netflix series coming our way in April 2026.
Don’t forget, we’re tracking everything new on Netflix in April here.
Dandelion
Coming to Netflix: April 2026 (TBD)
Dandelion, the outstanding debut one-shot manga from Gintama creator Hideaki Sorachi, is coming to Netflix. The series chronicles the adventures of the Japan Angel Federation Send-Off Department — or more specifically, its two agents, Tetsuo Tanba and Misaki Kurogane.
Both Tanba and Kurogane have a very specific and surreal task in their Dandelion division: to find spirits on Earth who are unable to pass to the afterlife due to past regrets. The two are different in personality — Tanba is deeply compassionate, and Kurogane is more forceful — but together they listen to the deceased souls and help provide closure, allowing them to pass on to the afterlife peacefully.
Dandelion is directed by Daisuke Mataga, who is best know for working on Ergo Proxy (2006) and Code Geass: Lolouch of the Re;Surrection (2019).

April 2026 kicks off with the season 3 of K-drama XO, Kitty, which sees our protagonist Kitty (Anna Cathcart) returning to KISS for their senior year, aiming to check off everything on her Senior Sunset list. This season is a big one for Kitty, who reunites with her friends, reconciles with her family, and explores her relationship with Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee). Prepare for romances, laughs, and a lot of drama. There’s even a long awaited cameo and from the picture above, you can see who that is.
Agent from Above
Coming to Netflix: April 2
Long-awaited Taiwanese fantasy series Agent from Above is finally coming to Netflix on April 2. The series follows Han Chieh (Ko Chen-Tung), who is bound by a divine pact to battle demons on Earth. However, he finds himself on a mission to save humanity when he uncovers a former adversary’s plan for a second invasion.
To say the series has been a long time coming would be an understatement. It was initially announced way back in 2019, with a release estimated for 2023. However, it was pushed back following myriad delays. It will finally make its debut in April 2026. Will Agent from Above be worth the wait? We hope so!
Bloodhounds Season 2
Coming to Netflix: April 3
When it debuted in 2023, Korean action series Bloodhounds reached #1 on Netflix’s non-English rankings in its first week. It also garnered strong ratings, currently boasting a solid 89% approval score on Rotten Tomatoes. It still feels like the show has so much more to offer.
Bloodhounds follows two young boxers-turned-vigilantes — Gun-woo and Woo-jin — who team up to take down a ruthless and cutthroat loan shark who preys on the financially desperate. In season 2, which takes place three years later, their vigilante foray goes one step further as they face a formidable new villain named Baek-jeong.

They unwittingly become entangled in the drama surrounding their General Manager, Joshua Martín (Oscar Isaac), and his wife, Lindsay Crane-Martín (Carey Mulligan).
