From the beginning, it’s been clear that the upcoming Supergirl movie draws heavily from the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book series. The film was originally going to share the comic’s name, but James Gunn, head of DC Studios, opted for simpler titles. Even so, the trailers show the movie is still strongly influenced by Woman of Tomorrow, while also hinting at a significant change to the character of Krypto.
This season, Coop balances a life of crime with a public persona as a successful businessman, leading him and others on a more intense adventure. The show keeps its signature dark humor, and although it starts a bit slowly, it eventually explores complex themes like getting older, finding meaning in life, and how easily good intentions can lead to dangerous consequences.
Even though viewers really enjoyed it, this 10-episode Netflix series has largely been forgotten over time, making it a hidden gem on the platform. At around 7.5 hours long, with each episode lasting between 38 and 55 minutes, it’s a perfect thriller to watch in a single weekend – especially considering it originally came out six years ago and deserves more attention.
We’ve picked out some key movies and series coming in April 2026 to give you a preview of what to watch. You’ll find a full list below, detailing everything arriving on Hulu and Disney+, including where and when you can stream it.
Recent reports suggest Leo Woodall, known for his role in the Netflix series Vladimir, is being considered to play Aragorn in the new Lord of the Rings spin-off, The Hunt for Gollum. Elijah Wood, who starred in the original Lord of the Rings films, has hinted that this casting is indeed happening during an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
The trailer reveals a few key plot points: Spider-Man’s DNA is changing, Peter Parker is up against a secret, invisible threat, and someone will likely be using mind control or telepathy. Many fans believe Jean Grey (possibly played by Sadie Sink) will be involved, but it’s still unconfirmed.
Following the conclusion of Supernatural, Jared Ackles starred in the action-packed Prime Video series Countdown. The show centered on a unique team working against time to prevent a major terrorist attack in Los Angeles. This role marked a change for Ackles, moving him from the fantasy world of Supernatural to a more realistic genre. Unfortunately, Countdown was cancelled after just one season, highlighting how difficult it can be for actors to successfully reinvent themselves and their careers.
Polaris, Wanda’s half-sister, will be a major character in the second season of X-Men ’97. Despite being family, the two have never appeared together on screen before, and Polaris is set to debut in 2026.
Before she really blew up with her incredible work in that HBO crime drama and snagged an Emmy, I already knew and loved Cristin Milioti. I remember her being fantastic in Black Mirror, especially that episode, “USS Callister” – seriously, it’s a classic! And Palm Springs? One of the best rom-coms of the last few years, hands down. This series she was in, though, it kind of slipped under the radar, but honestly, it’s a really easy and satisfying watch if you’re looking for something to binge.
On April 2, 2026, Judge Lewis Liman dismissed most of Colleen Hoover’s lawsuit, rejecting claims of harassment, defamation, and conspiracy. However, three parts of the case will continue: claims of retaliation, breach of contract, and helping with the retaliation, all directed at the director of Ends With Us.
