‘Our Great National Parks’
Ahead of Earth Day on April 22, Netflix is debuting a new documentary perfect for the occasion – a new five-part documentary about the world’s national parks. Set to debut on Wednesday, April 13, Our Great National Parks “invites viewers to experience nature in the world’s most iconic national parks.” Executive produced and narrated President Barack Obama, the series highlights a different national park each episode, from the waters of Monterey Bay, California to the bright red soil of Kenya’s Tsavo National Park, telling the story of the park through the lives of its wildest residents.
‘The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On’
Netflix’s new reality dating series The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On returns on Wednesday with its Season 1 finale and reunion. The latest addition to the streamer’s original reality lineup, The Ultimatum is a dating series that follows six couples on the cusp of marriage, but with only one partner ready to take the leap. As they work to decide whether to take their relationship the next the level, given the ultimatum to either commit to marriage or move on, they each choose a new potential partner from the other couples, giving them the “life-changing opportunity to get a glimpse of two different possible futures” over the course of eight weeks before deciding whether or not to say “I do.”
‘Ultraman: Season 2’
Ultraman is back to protecting Earth in Season 2 of Netflix’s hit anime Ultraman. The Netflix original is set years after Ultraman disappeared during a time when Shinjiro learns of his connection to the legendary hero and dons the metallic ultra-suit to fight new aliens. In Season 2, Ultraman will be joined by Seven, Ace, Zoffy, Jack, and Taro, the team joining forces to take on a new alien threat.
‘Anatomy of a Scandal’
Netflix is delving into the fictional scandals within the elite class of the United Kingdom in its new psychological thriller courtroom drama Anatomy of a Scandal. Based on Sarah Vaughan’s book of the same name and set for a Friday, April 15 premiere, the new series centers around a minister in Parliament, whose career and marriage are upended when a scandalous secret suddenly comes to light in a scandal that can affect a whole country. Directed by S.J. Clarkson, Anatomy of a Scandal stars Sienna Miller, Michelle Dockery, Rupert Friend, Naomi Scott, Josette Simon, Geoffrey Streatfeild, and Joshua McGuire.
‘Choose or Die’
Two friends will find themselves in a fight for the lives in Netflix’s new horror film Choose or Die.

In playing the game, however, they step into a surreal world of next-level terror that has them playing not for the money, but for their lives.
