Netflix’s announced U.S. additions for April 2019 included horror films, horror-adjacent thrillers and science-fiction titles, plus several new or returning series. April 1 brought the largest cluster in the focused genre roundup; later arrivals included Suzzanna: Buried Alive, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Part 2 and Black Summer. This is a historical guide to titles listed as arriving that month—not a complete snapshot of everything available all month or a guide to what streams on Netflix today.
Horror and horror-adjacent films arriving in April
The dates below are announced Netflix U.S. arrival dates recorded in 2019 schedules. Genre boundaries vary: the focused roundup grouped horror with thrillers and science fiction, so some entries are best treated as crossovers rather than unambiguous horror.

The April 1 cluster is the month’s most concentrated group of familiar horror titles in Heaven of Horror’s U.S. roundup. The two films it also included as thriller or science-fiction-adjacent entries are kept in the list for completeness, with their genre qualification made explicit. Heaven of Horror’s April 2019 roundup cautioned that dates and titles could change.
Series and installment arrivals
| US arrival date | Title | What arrived |

| April 11, 2019 | Black Summer | A new Netflix Original series. |
| Sometime in April 2019 | Chambers | A Netflix Original series. TIME’s schedule gives the month but not a specific day. |
The scheduled dates for Sabrina and Black Summer appear in contemporary release calendars; no exact arrival day is established here for Chambers. TIME’s April schedule lists the month for Chambers without assigning a date.

How to read this April 2019 list
- It is U.S.-specific. The schedules cover Netflix additions in the United States, not a worldwide catalog. The What’s on Netflix April 2019 schedule describes its coverage as U.S. additions and its updated list as the full list supplied by Netflix.
- Arrivals are not the same as a month-long catalog inventory. The titles above were reported as additions; this does not establish every horror title that could be watched at any point in April.
- Genre labels are not consistent across outlets. Heaven of Horror combined horror, thriller and science fiction, while TV Guide called The Silence a thriller and described Burning as a Korean horror movie. The label in the table preserves those distinctions rather than treating every entry as pure horror. See TV Guide’s April preview.
- A 2019 arrival date says nothing about present availability. The historical schedules do not establish whether a title remains on Netflix today.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
