Prime Video original and featured series in April 2026
Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun — April 5
This anime imagines a near-future Japan divided into three rival nations. Amazon says that, outside Japan, new episodes are scheduled weekly across 240 countries and territories exclusively on Prime Video. That makes it one of the month’s most broadly positioned international releases, although the exact local rollout should still be checked by viewers in each market.

Homelander now controls the United States, while Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned. Annie is trying to build a resistance, and Butcher returns with a virus that could wipe out Supes. Amazon identifies this as the final season of the superhero satire.
The detailed episode calendar reported for the U.S. schedule indicates a two-episode premiere followed by weekly episodes, leading to a May 20 finale.
