New On Netflix This Week (April 12-18): Anime, Movie, TV Shows, And Originals

It's always good to keep up to date with what is coming to Netflix each week. If you don't, you can miss out on things like The Tiger King or The Main Event. This week, there are a couple stand-up comedy specials headed your way and two movies you want to check out. Here's everything headed to Netflix this week.

On Thursday, the Coen Brothers movie Hail, Caesar arrives. A love-letter to 1950s Hollywood, the film follows Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), a "fixer" for movie studios whose job it is to keep stars in line. One day, star Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) disappears, and Mannix has a new problem that is challenging to fix.

Also on Thursday, the delightful family animated movie Despicable Me arrives. The series follows supervillain Gru (Steve Carell), who is planning on stealing the moon. However, there is a bump in the road, as Gru encounters three orphaned children, and has a change of heart, as he wants to become a father.

If you're in the mood for a laugh, there are numerous stand-up specials arriving this week as well. French comedian Fary has a two-part special, which arrives on Thursday. Chris D'Elia (You) has a new special on Tuesday, and Mauricio Meirelles a new one on Thursday.

Below, you'll find everything coming to Netflix this week. If you're interested in more streaming service news, check out what's coming to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Shudder, Funimation, and Quibi for the month of April as well.

And speaking of things you should be watching, consider listening to GameSpot's weekly TV series and movies-focused podcast, You Should Be Watching. With new episodes premiering every Wednesday, you can watch a video version of the podcast over on GameSpot Universe or listen to audio versions on Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play, and Apple Podcasts.
