What’s Coming to Netflix in April 2026

Welcome to your full look at what’s coming to Netflix in April 2026! Spring is officially in full swing, and Netflix is gearing up to deliver a massive month packed with high-stakes drama, star-studded comedies, and highly anticipated returning favorites.

While we’re still expecting plenty more announcements to trickle in over the coming weeks, this preliminary roster already boasts some serious heavy hitters. Get ready for the return of Emmy-sweeping hits like Beef (Season 2) and the YA favorite XO, Kitty (Season 3), an animated nostalgic trip back to Hawkins in Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, and huge blockbuster swings like Charlize Theron’s action-thriller Apex and Emma Stone’s sci-fi dark comedy Bugonia. Throw in a massive live boxing clash (Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov) and the streaming arrival of NBC’s hit sitcom St. Denis Medical, and April is already shaping up to be a month you won’t want to miss.

As always, while this list covers all the newcomers for the month, we’re also expecting lots of removals in April 2026, and we’re tracking those at the link provided.
