It’s almost time to spring ahead to April, and that means a new batch of films and TV shows are heading to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. We’re looking forward to catching the streaming debuts of The Florida Project and Despicable Me 3, but it’s a fairly quiet month for original series and movies. Before we get to April’s complete lineup, here are the TV highlights coming your way.
Preacher
Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon’s Preacher comic was too much for some people to handle, but AMC has done an admirable job of distilling the craziness into a more easily digestible TV show. The second season finds Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), Tulip O’Hare (Ruth Negga), and the drunken vampire known as Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) hitting the road to literally find God. Meanwhile, the Saint of Killers (Graham McTavish) and other threats are hunting them down. It’s a wild ride, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. You can catch the entire second season on Hulu starting on Tuesday, April 10.
Bosch
Cop shows tend to be the domain of terrestrial TV, but Amazon’s Bosch offers a hard-boiled flavor with its adaptation of Michael Connellyâs Harry Bosch novels. Titus Welliver is once again back in the title role, and the fourth season will reportedly adapt the story from Connelly’s Angels Flight when the series returns on Friday, April 13.
Lost in Space
Danger, Will Robinson! Netflix has a modernized update of Lost in Space hitting on Friday, April 13. In this retelling of the classic TV series, the Robinsons are a part of a colonization fleet that becomes hopelessly off-course from their intended destination. Along the way, they encounter the treacherous Dr. Smith (as played by Parker Posey) and an advanced robot that may be proof of alien life in the universe.
The Handmaid’s Tale
Will there be a revolution in Gilead? Coming off of its Emmy win for best drama, Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale will continue the story of June/Offred on Wednesday, April 25. But you’ll have to wait for new episodes to drop on a weekly basis. The second season is adding Marisa Tomei and Clea DuVall to show’s the lineup of performers, with Cherry Jones as June’s mother, Holly Osborne.
For a more comprehensive guide, here all the movies and television shows hitting Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon in April.
