Netflix is adding 54 new movies and shows this week (April 30, 2023)

A new week is here and because it’s the start of a new month, a ton of new movies and shows are coming to Netflix. It includes a few seasons of a classic cartoon, a new series in the Bridgerton universe, and a 2022 movie starring Tom Hanks.

One of the first major things headed to Netflix this week is season 1 and season 2 of Rugrats. The classic 90s and early 2000s show follows Tommy Pickles and his fellow toddler friends Chucky, Angelica (although, she might be better described as a frenemy), Suzy, and Phil and Dil as they go on adventures around the house and in the neighborhood. The two seasons come to Netflix on Monday, May 1, 2023.

The biggest show coming to Netflix this week is Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. The series tells the story of Queen Charlotte, how she became queen, and how she fell in love. It comes on Netflix on Thursday, May 4.

The new show stars India Amarteifio as Young Queen Charlotte, Adjoa Andoh as adult Lady Danberry, Michelle Fairley as Princess Augusta, Ruth Gemmell as Lady Violet Ledger Bridgerton, and Corey Mylchreest as young King George. Golda Rosheuvel is also back as adult Queen Charlotte.

A Man Called Otto is also coming to Netflix this week. It hits the streaming service on Saturday, May 6. The movie stars Tom Hanks, Mariana Treviño, Rachel Keller, Mack Bayda, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Kailey Hyman, and Cameron Britton.

Tom Hanks plays Otto, a curmudgeon who has given up on life after the loss of his wife. But when a young family moves in next door, he meets his match in the wife which ultimately leads to a friendship that turns his world upside down.
