More than 150 films are listed, with most scheduled to arrive on April 1. The headline addition is the complete reported Godfather package: The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone.
The month also brings the April Ghouls horror destination, including Hellraiser, Children of the Corn, Paranormal Activity, Friday the 13th, and Scream, plus live sports and event coverage. This is a reported U.S. lineup rather than a guarantee of permanent or worldwide availability; Pluto TV’s free, ad-supported catalog changes with licensing.

The Godfather trilogy is the standout package
The simultaneous listing of The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone makes April one of the better months for a full crime-film marathon. They are listed as separate on-demand additions, so viewers should search for each title rather than assume that one entry represents the entire trilogy.

April Ghouls brings a month of horror
Pluto TV’s April Ghouls horror destination is scheduled to begin April 1. The reported movie additions include Hellraiser, Children of the Corn, Paranormal Activity, Friday the 13th, and Scream.
The event also highlights supernatural and genre series including The X-Files, Charmed, Twin Peaks, and The Twilight Zone. According to Tom’s Guide’s report, Pluto TV is planning a full-series The X-Files marathon on April 20, with all 11 seasons reported as available on demand.
That makes April Ghouls different from the dated sports events below: it is a month-long programming destination, while the individual horror titles and series remain subject to the service’s normal licensing and availability rules.

What to do if a listed title does not appear
- Check the title and year. Pluto TV may have similarly named films, including multiple versions of Road House, Footloose, and Overboard.
- Search the on-demand catalog. Do not look only in the live-channel guide for a movie addition.
- Check the date. The reported movie drop is April 1, while sports events have separate broadcast dates.
- Confirm your location. This list is reported for the United States; Pluto TV rights can differ elsewhere.
- Try the supported app or web player. If a title is visible on one platform but not another, update the app and check the service on a second supported device before assuming the film has been removed.
Best ways to use the April 2026 lineup
For a classic-film weekend, pair the Godfather trilogy with Chinatown, Taxi Driver, or the westerns section. For action, the three Escape Plan films and both The Raid movies provide ready-made franchise marathons. Comedy viewers have several linked collections, including the Beverly Hills Cop films, the Friday films, and the two Wayne’s World movies.
Readers who prefer movies with journalism, business, technology, or real-world subject matter can start with The Big Short, The Social Network, Molly’s Game, Catch Me If You Can, and The Wolf of Wall Street. These are feature films rather than a dedicated documentary collection, but they offer a useful bridge for viewers looking for story-driven films about institutions, ambition, and public life.
Availability caveat
The strongest reporting for this list came from streaming-news roundups published on March 29, 2026. Those reports agree on the movie titles and the April 1 timing, but they are not a permanent Pluto TV rights schedule. Titles can be added, delayed, restricted, or removed as licensing changes. The safest interpretation is therefore: these are the reported U.S. Pluto TV additions and events for April 2026, subject to final platform availability.
When April arrives, search Pluto TV for the exact film title and year, and check the live guide for event programming. That approach avoids confusing a scheduled channel broadcast with an on-demand movie listing.
