5 Best New Streaming Releases for the Weekend of April 10-12, 2026

The streaming landscape is shifting its focus from the recent awards season toward a heavy slate of anticipated television returns and new series debuts. For the weekend of April 10 to April 12, 2026, several major platforms are releasing high-profile titles, including the conclusion of multiple critically acclaimed series.

The lead-up to the weekend begins on April 8, 2026, with Prime Video releasing the fifth and final season of The Boys. This marks the conclusion of the series on the platform.

Also debuting on April 8, 2026, is The Testaments on Hulu. The production serves as the follow-up to Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and is partially set in a dystopian version of Boston.

Mid-Weekend Comedy and Satire

On April 9, 2026, HBO will release the fifth and final season of Hacks. The timing of this release follows the April 6 wrap-up of the third season of The White Lotus on the same service.

Peacock is also introducing a new title on April 9, 2026, with the adaptation of The Miniature Wife. The comedy features an all-star cast, including Matthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks, the latter of whom is a native of Pittsfield.

Sunday Night Debuts

The weekend concludes on April 12, 2026, with AMC+ introducing The Audacity, a new drama centered on the technology sector.

HBO Max is scheduled to release the third season of Euphoria. While some reports list the premiere for April 12, 2026, others indicate an April 13, 2026, release date. This season is expected to be the final installment of the series.

Industry Context and Further April Releases

These releases are part of a broader trend in April 2026 where streaming services are pivoting away from the Oscar-contending films that dominated the early part of the year to prioritize returning Emmy-winning and high-engagement anthology series.

Beyond the April 10 to 12 window, other notable titles are arriving later in the month. Netflix will release Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 on April 23, 2026, and Apple TV will debut the horror-comedy Widow’s Bay on April 29, 2026, featuring Matthew Rhys as the mayor of a haunted New England town.

Movie premieres are also continuing throughout the month. HBO Max will host the streaming premiere of Marty Supreme, an A24 film starring Timothée Chalamet that received nine Oscar nominations and earned $178 million worldwide. Meanwhile, Hulu will debut the thriller Sirāt, directed by Oliver Laxe, which was nominated for best international feature and sound and won the jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2025.
