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.
20th Century Studios announced that Psycho Killer will be available to rent or buy digitally on April 7th. You’ll be able to find it on platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. There are currently no plans for a DVD or Blu-ray release.
Starring Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, the police drama The Rookie is currently in its eighth season. ABC recently announced the show’s finale date as part of a larger schedule update. While the show experienced a slight scheduling adjustment after the third episode, it’s now confirmed to air its finale.
Filming for additional scenes on Avengers: Doomsday begins this month, and we’re learning which familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be joining the production. Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Teyonah Parris (Monica Rambeau), and Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) weren’t included in the initial cast reveal, but they are all expected to film new scenes or provide additional dialogue for the movie.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Aaron Paul, and I think his career really centers around two major roles: his incredible performance as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad, and his work in science fiction. A lot of people say Westworld lost its way after the first season, but I honestly believe the later seasons – especially season 3 – are much better than they get credit for. I’ve been saying it for a while now!
According to reports, Supriya Ganesh, who plays Dr. Samira Mohan on The Pitt, will be leaving the show after Season 2. This decision is based on the story, as Dr. Mohan’s character is at a turning point in her career with her residency coming to an end. Because The Pitt is set in a teaching hospital, it’s natural for characters to come and go as part of the storyline.
Coming to theaters on April 24th is Michael, a new biopic about the life of Michael Jackson. Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s nephew, plays the iconic singer in the film. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the movie also features Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson, Nia Long as Katherine Jackson, and Miles Teller as Michael’s manager, John Branca. It’s expected to be a major release.
C.K. will be performing a headlining show on May 5th, and his new comedy special, Ridiculous, will be available to stream on Netflix this summer.
If you owned a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in the 1980s, you probably played Duck Hunt. Often packaged with the original Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt was a common addition to new NES consoles, introducing millions to video games. It used a special light gun to let players shoot at pixelated ducks, and a hilarious dog would laugh if you missed!
Shows like Corpse Party: Tortured Souls, Re:Zero, and Alice in Borderland stand out from typical isekai stories because they portray being transported to another world as a truly terrifying experience. Studios such as Silver Link create worlds that are less about adventure and more about punishment, danger, or being actively trapped, where simply surviving is a constant struggle.
