Everything Coming to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and HBO Max In April

From Tom Clancy’s “Without Remorse” on Hulu to a new season of “Prank Encounters” on Netflix, there’s something for everyone.

A poet once wrote that “April is the cruelest month,” and since it’s often stormy and taxes are due (though extended until May 17 this year) that’s often true. But the big streamers are ready to soften the blow with a variety of selections to binge watch while hiding out in your tornado shelter or avoiding the IRS. 

Appropriately for April 1st, Netflix is dropping Prank Encounters: Season 2, featuring Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo. If pranks aren’t your thing, there are plenty of good movies to choose from as the month begins, including 2012, starring John Cusack as a failed novelist who becomes a hero of the Apocalypse, and one of the better horror movies of the last 20 years, Insidious, which sees Patrick Wilson fighting weird ghost witches grinning in the shadows for the soul of his comatose son. As one does.

For anyone ready to lean in to April just being cruel, Hulu adds to the mix by dropping Die Hard (and Die Hard With a Vengeance), which is cruel to Bruce Willis’s bare feet, The Blair Witch Project—which is still terrifying if you haven’t seen all the parodies made since it debuted in 1999—and Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector, which is an act of cruelty toward comedy itself.

Amazon Prime as usual shares several releases with the other streamers, including Monster’s Ball, the 2001 prison drama that netted Halle Berry an Oscar for best actress, but also features on April 30 the premiere of an Amazon original movie starring Michael B. Jordan, Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse.

Finally, HBO Max is showing no remorse at the moment for its plan to unleash several Police Academy movies in April, from Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment to Police Academy: Mission to Moscow. But in mid-April HBO Max also premieres the classic video game reboot, Mortal Kombat.
