April on Netflix, Prime, Disney+, and Apple TV+: The Full New-Arrivals Breakdown

April 2026's streaming calendar is genuinely overwhelming — which is either a problem or a privilege depending on how you approach it. The Boys starts its final run. One Piece launches Elbaph. Perfect Crown debuts. BEEF returns for Season 2. And Indian OTT receives its most stacked April in years. Here is everything organized by platform so you can build your April viewing schedule with intention rather than chance.

Netflix — The April Slate

Big Mistakes Season 1 (April 9): A new original drama that arrives with a quiet confidence — its premise, a woman untangling the consequences of a single decision made years earlier, is familiar in structure but specific in execution. Worth starting immediately. BEEF Season 2: Lee Sung Jin's Emmy-winning dark comedy returns with a new central conflict and a new cast pairing. The first season of BEEF was one of the most distinctive streaming originals of 2023 — the second season has enormous expectations and a creative team with the track record to meet them. Bloodhounds 2 (Netflix Korea, April): The MMA action-thriller sequel. Yumi's Cells 3: The beloved Korean webtoon adaptation returns for its third season, continuing the format innovation of depicting emotion as characters visible only to the audience.

Disney+ — April's Korean and Star Wars Bets

Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord (April 6): The animated Star Wars expansion depicting Darth Maul's post-Phantom Menace survival arrives with the ambition the character has deserved since his unceremonious theatrical debut. Perfect Crown (mid-April): Disney+'s biggest Korean original — IU and Byeon Woo-seok in the alternate-history monarchy drama — arrives as the platform's most commercially ambitious April premiere. Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair: The revival of the beloved family comedy returns with the original cast a generation later. The Testaments: Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale sequel adaptation arrives on Disney+ through its Star/Hulu international arrangement. Disneynature's Orangutan (April 22): The annual Earth Day Disneynature documentary.

Indian OTT — April's Most Stacked Month

Prime Video India receives Dhurandhar 2's streaming premiere in April — the biggest Indian theatrical release of March arriving on its expected OTT window. Aha, JioCinema, and SonyLIV each contribute new Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi originals through April. The combination of Dhurandhar 2's theatrical-to-streaming arrival and the two major Bollywood theatrical films (Bhooth Bangla, April 2; Battle of Galwan, April 17) generating box office discourse makes April the most talked-about Indian cinema month since the Sankranthi period.

April 2026 on streaming is not a month you navigate passively. Pick your priorities before the algorithm picks them for you.
