3%: Season 2

The highly anticipated second season of Netflix original series 3% makes its way to the streaming service on Friday, April 27.

The popular series, a Portuguese-language sci-fi dystopian series that originally debuted in 2016, is set in a future world that is sharply divided between the elite living on an island paradise and the devastation of the crowded slums. Young people desperate to escape the slums are given the chance to compete to join the elite, but only 3 percent make it.

The show’s second season will see the world even more divided as Process 105 approaches, forces people to choose sides.

Bobby Kennedy for President

The streaming giant is adding another documentary to its shelves with the addition of Bobby Kennedy for President.

The Netflix original revisits the legacy of Robert F. Kennedy in a four-hour documentary series, chronicling his crusade for equality and justice during the 1960s. The documentary includes historic footage as well as leading voices of the era, who discuss the “Bobby Phenomenon.”

Bobby Kennedy for President will be available for streaming beginning Friday.

Candy Jar

“This is your future, and you are going to win,” the tagline reads for Netflix’s new indie drama Candy Jar.

The original film, slated to be available for streaming beginning Friday, follows dueling high school debate champs – an introverted high school girl from a working-class background and her wealthy, debate-team nemesis – who are at odds on just about everything. They are forced to work together in the state debate championship as they hope to get into the colleges of their dreams.

Holy Goalie

Holy Goalie, whose original title is Que baje Dios y lo vea, follows the story of monks living in rural monastery who suddenly find themselves being faced with the threat of it being transformed into a hotel due to lack of income. A new monk comes along with a solution, though, suggesting that their only chance of saving the monestary is learning how to play soccer and trying to win the “Champions Clerum” tournament in The Vatican City.

The film will be available for streaming on Friday, April 27.

The Man Who Knew Infinity

Matthew Brown’s The Man Who Knew Infinity is headed to Netflix on Friday.

The 2015 film, which stars Dev Patel, Devika Bhise, and Jeremy Irons, tells the true story of a friendship that forever changed mathematics.

Hardy, who helps him navigate the labyrinth of academia and racial prejudice as he further develops his skills at Trinity College at Cambridge.
