We may be nearing the midpoint of April, but the momentum hasn't slowed for Netflix. This week, the streaming giant will be making nearly two dozen new additions to the streaming library, with titles including both licensed content and Netflix original series, films, and specials, meaning subscribers have plenty of options for their next binge.

The new additions are set to begin arriving in the streaming library on Monday and will continue through Friday, leading into a wave of new titles set to be added throughout the upcoming weekend. The new additions will have something for everyone, including for the youngest viewers, who will be able to tune into a new season of the animated series Mighty Express. Reality TV lovers will be able to sit down and press play on the first four episodes of Season 2 of The Circle, the series that became a breakout hit following its debut last year. This week will also see the debut of Jamie Foxx's father-daughter comedy Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!, among several others.

If you are wanting to tune into any of the titles Netflix has to offer, you can opt for one of the streamer's three subscription plans – the basic plan ($8.99 per month), the standard plan ($13.99 per month), and the premium plan ($17.99 per month). For those not quite ready to commit, you can get a taste of what Netflix has to offer by checking out the "Netflix Free Section," which includes a selection of some of the streamer's best originals for non-subscribers to check out. Keep scrolling to see everything set to be added to the streaming library this week, and don't forget to check out all of the titles that are set to leave before the end of the month!
