April will see some major movie releases across all streaming platforms. These movies include brand-new releases, theatrical movies making their streaming debut, and other titles arriving on a brand-new platform.

From Netflix original Apex to Oscar-nominated movies like Bugonia and The Secret Agent, here are the most anticipated movie releases on streaming for the month of April.

10 Apex (Netflix)

Streaming date: April 24

Charlize Theron is starring in an action movie set in the wild, but the template seems all the more familiar. However, fans have confidence in Theron to deliver on the action. Starring opposite her is Taron Egerton, who takes on a surprising turn as the murderous villain in the movie.

The movie, Apex, is set to premiere on Netflix on April 24, marking the third Netflix original of April after Thrash and Roommates. Apex is expected to emerge as the winner out of the three for the streamer.

9 Outcome (AppleTV)

Streaming date: April 10

Jonah Hill-directed AppleTV comedy, Outcome, is the only movie release slated for the platform in April. Keanu Reeves stars as Reef Hawk, a two-time Oscar winner, whose carefully maintained image as Hollywood’s nicest guy starts to crack when a damaging video threatens to surface.

Scrambling to get ahead of the scandal, Reef sets out to make peace with everyone he burned during his years of addiction. Hill plays the chaotic crisis lawyer tasked with keeping the whole operation from imploding.

Sadly, the satire doesn’t quite land, even with the powerful backing of stars like Reeves, Cameron Diaz, and Matt Bomer. Intended to be a commentary on Hollywood fame, the film falls flat and fails to commit to its central theme. However, Reeves’s self-aware star turn keeps things watchable.

8 The Housemaid (Starz)

Streaming date: April 1

Adapted from Freida McFadden’s bestselling domestic thriller, The Housemaid, this new movie is probably a major shift in Paul Feig’s filmography. He trades his comedic chops for something darker and far more controlled in this movie.

Sydney Sweeney stars as Millie, a young woman with a checkered past who takes a live-in nanny position with the seemingly perfect Winchester family. However, she is faced with trouble from her new employer, Amanda Seyfried‘s Nina. The character is brittle and volatile, and clearly poses a major danger to Millie.

What seems to be your run-of-the-mill domestic thriller serves you with a few shocking twists, reshaping the entire dynamic between the two women. Both Sweeney and Seyfried showed how good they can be when handed material with real bite. Watch the movie now on Starz.

7 No Other Choice (Hulu)

Streaming date: April 24

No Other Choice is the kind of pitch-black satire only Park Chan-wook could pull off. Lee Byung-hun’s You Man-soo sees his 25-year career in the paper industry disappear in front of him. He attaches a lot of his self-worth and status to his job, which takes a hit after the incident.

Unable to land a new job in a flooded market, he lands on an unhinged solution: eliminate the competition. Instead of the grim unemployment drama it started out to be, the movie becomes a darkly funny tale about a man fumbling his way into a murder spree he’s clearly not cut out for.

Park makes his commentary on late-stage capitalism through the absurd spectacle of a respectable middle-aged man unraveling. Byung-hun commits fully to the role, turning Man-soo into a character equal parts menacing, ridiculous, and strangely heartbreaking.

6 Spider-Man: No Way Home (Disney+)

Streaming date: April 15

Yes, Spider-Man: No Way Home has finally arrived on Disney+. For a long time, the $1.9 billion movie was absent from the streamer, which was the home to all MCU movies and shows. The reason was the licensing disputes with Sony.

The action movie brought back previous Spider-Man actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who helped Tom Holland‘s Peter in his multiversal mission. Its Disney+ arrival is very timely after a sequel, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is all set to be released on July 31, 2026.

5 The Conjuring: Last Rites (Prime Video)

Streaming date: April 21

The story of Ed and Lorraine Warren comes to a perfect conclusion in Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga’s latest outing in the Conjuring franchise, The Conjuring: Last Rites. While Wilson and Farmiga nailed their roles as the central couple, it was Mia Tomlinson’s performance as Judy Warren that earned praises from critics and fans.

Michael Chaves directed this finale, closing out a chapter started by James Wan. The film will start streaming on Prime Video from April 21. If you missed it in theaters, you can get ready for one final ride with the horror franchise.

4 Bugonia (Netflix)

Streaming date: April 26

Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone collaborated again in this movie after her Oscar-winning role in Poor Things. Bugonia is a remake of the 2003 South Korean movie, Save the Green Planet!, which was a cult hit. The theme of the original was slightly reframed for an era of algorithm-fed paranoia and late-stage capitalism.

Jesse Plemons’ Teddy is a conspiracy theorist who is convinced that a pharmaceutical CEO (Stone) is actually an alien in human skin. He kidnaps her, believing that it is humanity’s only shot at survival. What follows is a look into the modern society’s madness, viewed through the lens of absurdity that has become a trademark in Lanthimos’s filmography.

While Lanthimos and Stone didn’t quite reach the perfection of their earlier movie here, the arguments made about capitalism, corruption, and ecological collapse make it a gripping watch. The Oscar-nominated movie will be made available on Netflix from April 26.

3 Nosferatu (Peacock)

Streaming date: April 21

Robert Eggers has spent his career building a reputation as horror’s most meticulous period stylist. Nosferatu is his peak work yet, reimagining the 1922 silent classic. His signature gothic style can be seen throughout the production design, costuming, and cinematography.

However, it is the performances that make this movie a true modern classic. Bill Skarsgård’s Count Orlok is a genuinely unsettling creation. Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, and Willem Dafoe absolutely commit to their horror roles.

It was Lily-Rose Depp, however, who surprised us with her performance as Ellen Hutter. Her portrayal of Ellen’s feverish, possessed state still sends chills down our spine. This retelling of Bram Stoker’s Dracula is one that fans will want to catch again on streaming. The movie, which was removed earlier from Peacock’s library, is returning to the streamer on April 21, 2026.

2 The Secret Agent (Mubi)

Streaming date: April 17

Wagner Moura‘s Golden Globe-winning, Oscar-nominated performance is coming to Mubi on April 17. In Kleber Mendonça Filho’s The Secret Agent, Moura plays a former professor, Armando, who gets caught up in the political mess of a military dictatorship in Brazil.

Armando’s plight was hailed as one of the best depictions of people under an authoritarian regime. Don’t let the name throw you off. The Secret Agent is not taking the espionage thriller route. It is a tale as human as they come.

But it wasn’t just the way the movie handled Brazil’s history that impressed critics. The movie had spectacular visuals and an emotional depth that drew us to this dark political thriller.

1 Marty Supreme (HBO Max)

Streaming date: April 24

After its unsuccessful (and controversial) Oscar campaign, Marty Supreme will be available on HBO Max later this month. Neither the lack of awards nor Timothée Chalamet‘s controversial comments should take away from his career-best performance.

Josh Safdie’s first solo outing without brother Benny trades the neon grime of Uncut Gems for the table-tennis halls of 1950s New York. However, the Safdie brand is fully visible throughout the movie. The story is loosely based on real-life paddle legend Marty Reisman.

Chalamet is Marty Mauser in this outing, where he lies, charms, and self-destructs his way toward greatness. The movie is about the uncomfortable math of ambition. What are you willing to burn down to chase a dream? And is the dream really worth it? Watch the movie on HBO Max on April 24 to find out.
