Welcome to another week of new releases on Netflix! Whether you’re looking for terrifying shark thrillers, critically acclaimed indie darlings, or unprecedented live events, this week’s lineup truly has something for everyone.
Below, we’ll consider some of our top picks for the week, followed by a full day-by-day list of everything coming to Netflix between April 6 and April 12. As a reminder, you can find a comprehensive list of everything coming to Netflix during April 2026 here.
The most anticipated new movies and shows on Netflix this week
big mistakes (Season 1) Netflix Original
coming to netflix: Thursday
Dan Levy is back! After the huge, beloved success of schitt’s creek and his recent Netflix feature film good grief (not quite as successful), Levi returns to our screens with a brand new series that actually shares much of the same DNA beef Season 2 is also ready for release this month. Bringing its signature blend of sharp wit, hilarious awkwardness and genuine heart, Big Mistakes promises to be highly entertaining this week. If you’re missing Levy’s brilliant comedic timing and ability to craft deeply relatable, flawed characters, clear your Thursday schedule – this is, on paper, an absolute must-see. Keep an eye out for our review later this week.
spanking (2026) Netflix Original
coming to netflix: Friday
Given its sharp pickup at the beginning of the year and its revelations last month, it seems like it came out of nowhere. Serving as the first of several big movies for April, it’s a big feature of Friday nights. If you need a quick pitch: bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor and the shark. At least most people should be interested in this.
We don’t want to give too much away about the plot, but the official logline reads, “When a Category 5 hurricane destroys a coastal town, the storm brings devastation, chaos, and something even more terrifying: hungry sharks.”
If (2024)
coming to netflix: Thursday
Ryan Reynolds and John Krasinski team up for this heartwarming, visually stunning family comedy making its SVOD debut. The film tells the story of a young girl who, while going through hard times, suddenly gains the ability to see everyone’s imaginary friends (“IFs”) that have been left behind as their children grow up. Accompanied by a grumpy upstairs neighbor (Reynolds), she sets out on a magical quest to reunite the IFS with new children. It’s touching, funny, and makes a perfect family movie night addition this week.
A huge week for live events (NASA and Tyson Fury)
coming to netflix: Monday and Sunday
In addition to regularly scheduled live events like WWE Raw, this week brings two completely different—but equally massive—live broadcast events. First up on Monday, space lovers can tune into NASA+ Live to watch the highly anticipated Artemis II lunar flyby, giving viewers an unprecedented real-time view of humanity’s return to lunar orbit. Then, end your weekend on Sunday with live, hard-hitting sports action as “The Gypsy King” Tyson Fury takes on Arslanbek Makhmudov in a heavyweight boxing bout you won’t want to miss.
