April is loaded with great options for movies and TV shows on the major streamers.
The hard part is going to be finding the time to watch them all, especially considering the logjam that began this week.
Watch With Us has taken the time to narrow down this month’s numerous films and series to the five new movies and TV shows that you need to watch in April.
The first show on the list has already dropped, and if you’re not quick to watch, then it may take you until May to catch up with the rest.
‘The Testaments’ (2026)
Agnes MacKenzie (Chase Infiniti) has no idea about her link to the revolutionary June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) when The Testaments begins, but the links to The Handmaid’s Tale will only increase going forward. Despite June’s best efforts, Gilead remains standing and her daughter may be lost to her. Agnes is deep in her training to become a Handmaiden herself, which is the only life she’s ever known.
Lucy Halliday costars as Daisy, a Canadian girl who has willingly come to Gilead to become a Handmaid. Daisy is also carrying a secret that may help her bring down Gilead from within. But she won’t be able to do it without help. And if Daisy trusts the wrong person, then she may never leave Gilead alive.
The Testaments is streaming on Hulu.
‘Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair’ (2026)
After 20 years, the family is coming back together in a four-part miniseries, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, and they’re all pissed at Malcolm (Frankie Muniz). For the last two decades, he’s avoided his siblings — Francis (Christopher Masterson), Reese (Justin Berfield), Dewey (Caleb Ellsworth-Clark), Jamie (Anthony Timpano) and Kelly (Vaughan Murrae) — as well as their parents, Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), for his mental well-being. And it worked for a long time.
Now that Hal and Lois are celebrating their 40th anniversary, they’re forcing Malcolm back into the fold. But they’re also quite cross to learn that he has a daughter, Leah (Keeley Karsten), and a girlfriend, Tristan (Kiana Madeira), neither of whom they knew about. Leah is at least interested in knowing her grandparents and uncles, but she doesn’t realize what she’s in for.
Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair will stream on Hulu on April 10.
‘Outcome’ (2026)
Jonah Hill cowrote and directed Outcome, but he only has a supporting role as Ira Slitz, a crisis lawyer for fallen Hollywood superstar Reef Hawk (Keanu Reeves). Reef has taken some time out of the spotlight to rebuild his life and identity, but both could go down in flames after someone uses his past as an extortion attempt to bilk him for money he may not have.
Reef’s solution is to reach out to people he knows, including Kyle (Cameron Diaz) and Xander (Matt Bomer), and make amends for anything he’s done to hurt them. That may not expose the person who’s blackmailing Reef, but it might give him what he needs to truly move on.
Outcome will stream on Apple TV on April 10.
‘Beef’ (2023 – Present)
This may be the second season of Beef, but it’s practically a brand-new show with a completely different cast of characters. The only thing that’s remained the same is anger and the destructive carnage it leaves in its wake. This season, the beefing couples are Josh Martin (Oscar Isaac) and his wife, Lindsay Crane-Martín (Carey Mulligan), who find themselves at odds with Austin Davis (Charles Melton) and his fiancée, Ashley Miller (Cailee Spaeny).
Josh is the general manager of a country club, while Austin is simply trying to become a personal trainer. It’s not entirely clear what’s going to set off this couples’ feud, but if it’s anything like season 1, the two sides are both going to regret the mess this leaves behind in their lives.
Beef season 2 will stream on Netflix on April 16.
‘Apex’ (2026)
Sasha (Charlize Theron) probably wouldn’t consider herself to be the title character of Apex. She’s just a woman who needs her space to grieve, which is why she’s taken a solo trip to the Australian wilderness. Her passion is rock climbing, and she’ll have plenty of excuses to use that skill. Just not the reasons she was expecting.
Taron Egerton costars in the film as a serial killer who sees Sasha as his latest prey. But if he thinks she’s just going to roll over and play dead, then he’s got another thing coming. Sasha’s going to fight for her life, and she may yet prove herself to be the real Apex of this duo.
Apex will stream on Netflix on April 24.
