BINGEWORTHY NEW NETFLIX ORIGINALS
While you’re waiting for the May Netflix titles, check out these new Netflix shows and movies you can binge in the meantime.
Ozark Season 4, Part 2: The final installment of Jason Bateman’s Ozark will premiere Friday, April 29, putting an end to the Byrde family’s story. In the final batch of episodes, “Marty and Wendy are rid of Helen and climb to the top of Navarro’s empire. They find another opportunity to get out of the Ozarks but some past sins won’t stay buried and the most dangerous threats come from blood,” according to the official synopsis. In a short teaser trailer, Julia Garner’s Ruth Langmore talks through her childhood traumas as she is seen driving a car with a gun on the passenger seat. In the clip, Ruth says, “My childhood traumas are not like yours. You see, I’m a cursed Langmore. Long inured to violence and death, and in the case of a Langmore, perhaps not soon enough.” Before the short clip teased that “the end arrives sooner than you think,” Ruth, at one point, could be seen pointing a rifle at Marty and Wendy Byrde.
Part 1 of the final season of Ozark is available to stream on Netflix now, with Part 2 premiering on Friday, April 29.
‘THE ULTIMATUM: MARRY OR MOVE ON’
For reality TV heads, Nick and Vanessa Lachey are back with another dating show that fast tracks the path to marriage. The Ultimatum features six different couples on the verge of marriage. In those couples, one partner is ready to get married, the other isn’t quite as sure. An ultimatum is issued – and in just over eight weeks, they must commit to marriage, or move on. In the meantime, each will choose a new potential partner from one of the other couples, in a life-changing opportunity to get a glimpse of two different possible futures.
All episodes of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move on are streaming on Netflix now.
‘BRIDGERTON’ SEASON 2
Season 2 of Bridgerton has finally arrived on Netflix, setting a ratings record in doing so. Closely following the source material in The Viscount Who Loved Me, the second book in Julia Quinn’s series, Bridgerton Season 2 switches the focus from Daphne Bridgerton to her older brother, Anthony. Setting out to find love during the latest dating season, all under the watch of the all-seeing Lady Whistledown, Anthony finds himself courting new arrival Edwina, only to fall for her older sister Kate. Unsurprisingly, the love triangle reaches the ears of Lady Whistledown.
Seasons 1 and 2 of Bridgerton are available to stream on Netflix now, with not one but two more seasons of the drama on their way.
