by

April not only brings rain and flowers, but also a fresh wave of movies and shows to stream! Netflix is releasing several eagerly awaited series, an exciting new action film, and a variety of international content to reach a wider audience. Everyone will be especially excited about the latest season of Stranger Things, which premieres this month.

With so much new content added to Netflix every month, it can be hard to keep track of everything. We’ve put together a guide to the biggest movie and TV releases coming in April 2026, and included a full list of what’s new and what’s leaving the platform.

MovieWeb Staff Picks for What’s New to Netflix in April 2026

  • Love on the Spectrum (Season 4) Apr. 1: There are a plethora of dating shows on Netflix, but none of them really capture the same sincerity and positivity as Love on the Spectrum. The show is utterly infectious and uplifting, making it an ideal comfort watch, particularly with a partner of your own.
  • Untold: Chess Mates Apr. 7: The ‘Untold’ Netflix Original documentary series primarily focuses on the world of sports and has a fan base. Yet, Chess Mates is one wild story with a lot of drama and interesting personas worth checking out, regardless. The drama here starts when a chess player is accused of cheating by using vibrating anal beads to signal his moves at chess, which led to a long-running feud between players.
  • Beef (Season 2) Apr. 16: Beef turned a simple road rage incident into one of the most gripping, darkly hilarious, and addictive series on Netflix. With the new season set to ramp things up even further with a new cast, this is going to be one wild ride fans won’t want to miss.
  • Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 (Season 1) Apr. 23: It is difficult not to take notice of this new animated series after the departure of, arguably, Netflix’s biggest franchise of all time. Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 could help push the franchise into new areas or be the last hurrah; either way, it will be a highly discussed series that fans will want to check out for themselves.
  • Apex (2026) Apr. 24: Charlize Theron being hunted through the jungle in a fight for survival should be enough to get audiences tuning in, but the show’s thrilling trailer promises a pretty intense, explosive ride; it looks to be an ideal popcorn flick for a weekend.
  • Bugonia (2025) Apr. 26: From director Yorgos Lanthimos, Bugonia delivers the stylized, dark, and absurdist film fans have come to expect from the director. While it may have come up short at the Oscars, now is an ideal time to check out the movie for those who missed it, to see why it should have gotten more love. The movie also delivers a warped sci-fi black comedy that became “More Relevant” than Intended.
