April Brings Exciting New Shows to Streaming Platforms

BOSTON, April 1, 2025 — As the Oscars spotlight fades, streaming services are gearing up for an exciting month filled with new and returning titles. This April, viewers can enjoy a mix of anticipated shows and films across popular platforms such as HBO, Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+.

HBO starts off the month with the much-anticipated conclusion of “The White Lotus” Season 3, set to wrap up on April 6. Following this, subscribers can look forward to “Hacks” Season 4 premiering on April 10, along with the highly awaited “The Last of Us” Season 2 on April 13, and “The Rehearsal” Season 2 on April 20. These titles promise to keep audiences glued to their screens.

Disney+, which often showcases family-friendly content, is set for the debut of “Andor” Season 2 on April 22, after a long wait of three years. This show dives deeper into the character of Cassian Andor, a key figure from the Star Wars franchise.

Meanwhile, Hulu will see the conclusion of “The Handmaid's Tale” with its sixth and final season premiering on April 8, alongside the debut of the dramedy “Dying for Sex” featuring Michelle Williams on April 4, exploring themes of love and mortality.

Kevin Slane, a staff writer for Boston.com, highlights that April not only serves as a reminder of returning shows but also promises exciting new content, making it an essential month for subscribers. “With the culmination of key storylines and the introduction of fresh narratives, viewers will have plenty to binge-watch,” Slane said.

As streaming platforms compete for viewer attention, their content calendars are brimming with familiar classics alongside modern tales. April 1 brings a selection of licensed movies, including “Field of Dreams” and “Jurassic Park III,” on Netflix and other platforms, adding diversity to the lineup.

While many popular series are streaming this month, both new and longstanding, fans should prepare for gripping narratives and rich storytelling experiences. For example, the upcoming season of “Black Mirror” will add a fresh dose of its signature dark satire with a variety of episodes, inviting audiences to ponder our increasingly complex relationship with technology.

In addition to the streaming highlights, traditional networks also cater to audiences with special events, including the thrilling return of WrestleMania on Peacock, showcasing the world of professional wrestling.

As April unfolds, experts and fans alike anticipate how these series will intertwine new ideas with familiar themes, drawing both loyal viewers and new subscribers alike into the intricate plots they promise to explore.
