Netflix April 2026 — Must-Watch Highlights at a Glance

Netflix Big Ones — Shows & Movies Explained

Beef (Season 2) — April 16 The Emmy-sweeping anthology is back, and this time Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan are at each other’s throats.

It’s nostalgic, it’s spooky, and it scratches the itch perfectly. Learn more about the Stranger Things universe on Wikipedia.

Apex — April 24 Charlize Theron plays the hunted who becomes the hunter in this high-octane action thriller. A human-hunting competition goes very wrong when the prey decides to fight back. Think The Most Dangerous Game with a Hollywood-sized budget and a genuinely terrifying lead.

Bugonia — April 26 Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are back with director Yorgos Lanthimos in this wildly bizarre sci-fi dark comedy. Two conspiracy theorists kidnap a powerful CEO because they’re convinced she’s an alien planning Earth’s destruction. It’s as unhinged as it sounds — and that’s exactly why it’ll be great.
