The Imitation Game (2014)
Type: Movie
Release Date: April 29th
While Benedict Cumberbatch is in cinemas at the moment reprising his role as Doctor Strange in Avengers: End Game, his fantastic appearance in the Oscar-winning The Imitation Game arrives tomorrow to kickstart the week.

Baki (Part 2) Netflix Original Anime Series
Type: TV Series
Release Date: April 30th
Although we’ve had quite a wait for part 2 of the anime series Baki, it’s release is finally in sight.
Once again, we join Baki Hanma who is training to surpass his father in the ring to become the best fighter in the world.
The Matrix Trilogy (1999 – 2003)
Type: Movies
Release Date: May 1st
The sci-fi movie trilogy is making another round on Netflix with all three movies once again dropping on Netflix on May 1st. We first got word of the readditions back on the 20th-anniversary celebrations earlier in April.
In case you’ve never seen these movies, please don’t waste the opportunity this time around. You’ll be going on a journey quite like no other with Neo learning he lives in a computer simulation.
Colony (Season 3)
Type: TV Series
Release Date: May 2nd
USANetwork’s sci-fi series came to its epic conclusion last year with season 3 of Colony. The series follows a family in the midst of an alien invasion and it’s about their journeys while under occupation.
Many were displeased with the cancelation of the show with few storylines needing to be wrapped up but this will be your chance to binge through all episodes in season 3.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) Netflix Original
Type: Movie
Release Date: May 3rd
Netflix paid top dollar for the exclusive rights in the United States for this dramatization of the Ted Bundy story. Netflix produced a docuseries on the prolific killer last year so it made a natural fit for this highly rated movie that debuted last year.
The movie is shot from the perspective of Ted Bundys longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer.
War Horse (2011)
Type: Movie
Release Date: May 4th
Despite the director’s disdain for Netflix and streaming services (except for Apple+, of course) quite a few of his movies found their way onto Netflix including one of the better titles from his back catalog.
War Horse is set during the first world war and is about one man who’s drafted into the war along with his horse.
