New And Recent Movies Streaming: What I’m Excited To Watch Online In April 2026

It’s officially spring, and on top of all the rain, the month of April is showering us with all kinds of new movies streaming. From heavy-hitters from the first few months of the 2026 movie schedule to some of last year’s best offerings to a variety of streaming exclusives, there’s a little something for everyone. And as someone who watches way too many movies these days, I’m terribly excited for what this month has to offer.

We’re going to see big hits like The Housemaid and Marty Supreme show up on popular platforms for the first time, new action movies like APEX finally make their debut, and so much more by the time May rolls around with all of those flowers (and even more new movies). That being said, here’s what I’m most excited to see streaming in April.

New Movies Streaming By Platform

You won’t hurt my feelings by thinking the list found above is overwhelming, because a lot is going on up there. Well, don’t let anxiety get the best of you, as I have a breakdown of all the new movies streaming on each of the major streaming services.

New Movies Streaming On Apple TV

Though a lot of us use our Apple TV subscription to watch the streamer’s great shows like Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Your Friends and Neighbors, there’s also a nice library of movies. The biggest addition this month is the new Jonah Hill-directed dark comedy, Outcome, which stars Keanu Reeves as an actor being blackmailed.

Apple TV: $12.99 A Month With 7-Day Trial
Sign up right now to watch hits like Severance, Slow Horses, Shrinking, and Ted Lasso, and pay $12.99 a month, with a 7-day trial.

New Movies Streaming On Netflix

A Netflix subscription gives you access to original shows like Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen and Virgin River, but let’s not forget the movies. This month, we’ll see Charlize Theron’s APEX, several additions to the Untold documentary collection, and a new shark movie called Thrash. It’s going to be a good April.

New Movies Streaming On Paramount+

I’ve gotten a lot of use out of my Paramount+ subscription over the years, and that’ll be no different this month. Though no new major releases have been announced at this time, there are some others worth checking out, including Primate, one of the most horrifying movies of the year.

Paramount+: $12.99 A Month Or $119.99 A Year
Get the most out of Paramount+ and sign up to its more premium plan. You're essentially getting two catalogs of content, throwing together both Paramount+ and Showtime Originals. And if you're a big fan of the likes of Tulsa King, Survivor, 1883, other CBS hits as well as live sports, and those Showtime titles, CinemaBlend always suggests saving big with the annual plan, working out as little a $10 a month.

New Movies Streaming On Peacock

If you’re a fan of musicals and have a Peacock subscription, I think you’re going to have a good month. Not only are Wicked: For Good and Song Sung Blue still around, but you can also check out Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 now that the 2025 horror flick is calling the streamer home.

Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a year

New Movies Streaming On Starz

If you have Starz, you’ll be able to watch The Housemaid if you missed the Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried thriller during its massive box office run late last year. But that isn’t the only recent movie streaming on the platform.

New Movies Streaming On VOD

Don’t want to wait for your favorite movies (or maybe those you missed on the big screen) to hit one of your go-to streaming services? You’ll have to pay a premium for the convenience of watching a movie early (some of these titles cost $25 on Amazon), but sometimes it’s totally worth it. If you’ve been wanting to catch Send Help, Wuthering Heights, and Avatar: Fire & Ash now is your golden opportunity.

With all the major movies in theaters right now, it will only be a matter of time before we see some of the year’s biggest movies on one of these streaming services.
