Netflix April 2026 is loaded. The month’s headliners are back-to-back swings at the kind of appointment viewing Netflix has been chasing all year. Beef returns April 16 with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan stepping into Season 2. Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 drops April 23 as an animated spinoff set in Hawkins. XO, Kitty picks up Season 3 on April 2. And if anime is your corner of the app, One Piece kicks off the Elbaf Island Arc on April 11 alongside Windbreaker Season 2 and Dorohedoro Season 2.
On the film side, Charlize Theron’s survival thriller Apex and Emma Stone’s Bugonia both land in the back half of the month. The April 1 library drop is stacked with all five Mission: Impossible films, Bohemian Rhapsody,American Gangster, the Madagascar trilogy, and Casino.
What’s New on Netflix April 2026
The originals slate leans heavy on returning hits. Beef Season 2 is the anchor, and the new cast (Isaac, Mulligan, Charles Melton, Cailee Spaeny, Youn Yuh-jung) is built to run the same emotional marathon the first season did. Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 gives Netflix a second swing at the franchise in animated form, set during the Hawkins timeline fans have been asking about. And Funny AF with Kevin Hart adds to Netflix’s stand-up bench on April 20.

The Netflix April 2026 Bottom Line
If you only track one title on Netflix April 2026, make it Beef Season 2. If you track two, add Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. The rest is upside. And if you are behind on Bond, Queen of the South, or Black Sails, start this week because the windows close fast.
