What to watch on Netflix
A Quiet Place Part II — April 11
Choose this for a high-tension sequel that does not require seeking out an obscure catalog title. Netflix’s April 10 weekly guide also highlighted it among the week’s additions, while Boston.com gives April 11 as its date in the monthly calendar.
Halloween Ends
Netflix’s weekly guide featured this horror film among its additions, and Boston.com includes it in the April slate. The sources available here do not establish a precise day, so check Netflix’s current title listing rather than relying on an assumed date.
For a documentary option: Untold: Jail Blazers
Netflix’s April 10 guide also highlights this installment of the Untold documentary series. It offers an alternative if you want a nonfiction pick rather than a feature film.

What to watch on Max
Alien: Romulus — April 3
Boston.com marks this science-fiction horror franchise entry as a notable new arrival. It is the pick for viewers after a blend of space-set science fiction and horror.
Dust Bunny — April 17
Boston.com labels Dust Bunny both a writer recommendation and a notable new release. The available schedule does not establish its genre or plot, so this recommendation is best treated as a discovery pick rather than a promise about its tone.
Marty Supreme — April 24
Both Boston.com and the Associated Press reported the April 24 streaming date on HBO Max. AP describes Timothée Chalamet as a ping-pong player in 1950s New York; it reported that the film received nine Oscar nominations and earned $179 million in ticket sales. Those figures are AP’s 2026 report about the film, not a measure of its streaming performance.

Dates and availability to keep in mind
These are U.S.-focused April 2026 schedule snapshots, not guarantees that a title remains available or appears in every country. Streaming catalogs change, and Prime Video’s own announcement specifically directs viewers to local Amazon listings for regional availability. Confirm the title in your service’s current catalog before planning a watch.
“New to” a service can mean a catalog addition, an original, or a streaming debut; it does not necessarily mean the film itself is new. The April schedules are useful for identifying when titles were listed to arrive, but they should not be read as a present-day catalog check.
