Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (April 8)

'Elite: Season 5'

Netflix's hit Spanish-language teen crime series Elite returns for even more drama on Friday, April 8. The series is set at Las Encinas, a private school where the children of rich Spanish families go, and follows a group of students whose lives are changed when three working-class children have to attend Las Encinas after their own school is destroyed in an earthquake. To make matters more difficult, there is a murder at the school, and it is not clear who committed it. A new semester will be underway in Season 5, bringing with it a new victim, a new perpetrator, and a new mystery. Elite has already been renewed for Season 6, which does not yet have a premiere date.

'Green Eggs and Ham: Season 2'

In Season 2, there will be a secret story, an unsolved mystery, and a new beginning. Green Eggs and Ham is produced by Ellen DeGeneres and voiced by Adam DeVine, Michael Douglas, Eddie Izzard, Jeffrey Wright, Jillian Bell, John Turturro, Tracy Morgan, and Daveed Diggs. Keegan Michael-Key narrates.

Weiss, the musical comedy movie follows Hunter and Kevin, two high school misfits with their sights set on metal glory. The only problem?

What's leaving this weekend?

Netflix is breaking its tradition of not tossing out titles this weekend. While the streaming giant typically reserves departures for weekdays, this weekend, one title will be bowing out of the game. On Friday, House of the Witch will exit. It will be followed by several other exits throughout April.
