This month of April is no joke, with a whole new batch of movies and TV shows going to be added to all of your favorite streaming services. As we saw in March, new television series like 3 Body Problem, The Regime, and The Gentlemen were highly anticipated. Spaceman, Ricky Stanicky, Damsel, Road House, and Wonka were among the new films that marched into streamers, giving a little bit of something for everybody.

Netflix, Max, Hulu, Peacock, AppleTV+, Paramount+, and Prime Video all have a slew of new additions set for April 2024, and we’ve compiled a list of all of those highly-anticipated shows and films that are noteworthy.

What’s New to Streaming in April:

On AppleTV+, the second season of Maya Rudolph’s comedy series, Loot, premieres on April 3. The sitcom follows the story of the aftermath of Molly Novak’s (Rudolph) divorce from her tech billionaire husband (Adam Scott) of 20 years and what she wants to do with her $87 billion settlement. Season two will debut with two episodes, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through May 29.

Over on Netflix, the second half of Zack Snyder’s space opera Rebel Moon will be making its world premiere. In 2023’s Part One: A Child of Fire, the story follows Kora (Sofia Boutella), a lone-wolf soldier who’s found community and connection on the quiet farming moon of Veldt. She’s a long way away from her former life fighting for the Imperium, the brutal interstellar royal empire bent on controlling the galaxy. But Kora’s violent past is dredged up when sadistic admiral Atticus Noble (Ed Skrein) comes to Veldt via a Dreadnought-class battle cruiser and stirs up deadly trouble on the orders of the Imperium’s tyrannical regent, Balisarius (Fra Fee). Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver is set to debut on April 19th.
