While most are confined to our homes because of the coronavirus pandemic, there is a lot of free time at hand that we're not sure what to do with. Having all this extra time has us wondering how to spend it, especially with theatrical releases postponed and TV shows coming to a halt. 

Luckily, Netflix has us covered while we continue to socially distance ourselves and spend it in isolation this month. The streaming giant has a slew of original series, movies, comedy specials, documentaries, and anime premiering through the course of this month.

While some of our favorites will leave Netflix this April, the streaming giant is focusing on releasing most of its original movies and series. This will include new releases as well as those returning for their next seasons. The list includes the much-anticipated Season 4 of 'Money Heist'.

For those who are looking forward to spending their quarantine time in cultivating their culinary skills, everyone's favorite baking show 'Nailed It!' will be returning for Season 4. The streaming giant will also be releasing their new reality tv dating competition series titled 'Too Hot To Handle. It's a mashup between 'Bachelor in Paradise' and '40 Days and 40 Nights'. While Netflix has kept a lot of information about the upcoming reality dating series under wraps, it does sound promising.
