Netflix Is Celebrating Earth Day With Its April Lineup Of Kids' Movies & TV Shows

Winter is well and truly in the rearview this month as April brings in warm weather and plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy the sun. But on days when those pesky spring showers get in the way of outdoor family fun, Netflix has an impressive lineup of kids’ movies and TV shows coming to the streamer in April. This month brings new seasons of preschool favorites CoComelon Lane and Spirit Rangers, as well as the premiere of The Dead Boy Detectives, a series that might just keep your Wednesday-loving teen occupied until Season 2 of the Jenna Ortega drama arrives in 2025.

Netflix is also celebrating Earth Week (April 16-22) with the premiere of Our Living World, an enthralling and educational nature doc the whole family can enjoy. If Our Living World inspires your kiddo to learn more about the world around them, Netflix has an entire category devoted to stories about sustainability and the natural world.

Whether you’re looking for a lowkey way to celebrate Earth Day or simply need some new shows to keep your preschooler entertained, Netflix has your back. Check out the full list of kid’s movies and TV shows hitting the streamer this month ahead.
