Disney Plus April 2026 is all about Maul. ‘Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord’ drops April 6 with two episodes a week through May 4. The animated series follows Maul after getting sliced in half in ‘The Phantom Menace’ and tracks what the former Sith lord gets up to during the reign of the Galactic Empire, bridging the ‘Clone Wars’ timeline. If you have been waiting for Lucasfilm to finally cash in on one of its most requested characters, this is the month.
‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2 keeps rolling out new episodes throughout the month, with Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio going at it again. ‘The Testaments,’ the ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ sequel, hits April 8 through the Hulu on Disney+ hub. And the ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ revival ‘Life’s Still Unfair’ arrives April 10 as a four-episode run centered on Hal and Lois’ 40th anniversary.
Disneynature’s ‘Orangutan,’ narrated by Josh Gad, drops on Earth Day (April 22). And Nikki Glaser’s comedy special ‘Good Girl’ arrives April 24 via Hulu.
What’s New on Disney Plus April 2026
The marquee play for Disney Plus April 2026 is Star Wars. ‘Maul – Shadow Lord’ is the franchise’s biggest animated swing since ‘Tales of the Jedi,’ and the early buzz suggests it is trying to be the connective tissue fans have been asking for between ‘Clone Wars’ and the Disney+ live-action era. Marvel’s ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2 keeps the Kingpin vs. Devil of Hell’s Kitchen engine running on a weekly cadence. On the Hulu side, ‘The Testaments’ is the prestige drop. Reviews are already teasing ‘One Battle After Another’ breakout Chase Infiniti as the scene-stealer.
