What’s new on Hulu in April and what’s leaving soon

Blair Marnell
By

It may be April Fool’s Day, but this is no joke: Hulu has a very strong lineup of films and TV shows heading your way this month. One of the most intriguing original projects is the two-part documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields, which offers a unique look at Shields’ life as a 1980s starlet and the challenges she faced along the way. Many terrific movies are also joining the library, including the incredibly well-made Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and one of our favorites, Bend It Like Beckham. Anime fans will also find a lot to enjoy, as numerous series are coming to Hulu this month as well.

To stay on top of everything new on Hulu and everything leaving at the end of April, just keep reading. Our picks for the month are in bold.

And since you’re a Hulu fan, be sure to check out the Disney Bundle, which will get you Disney+, ESPN+, and a basic Hulu subscription for just $14 a month. You’re basically getting three streaming services for the price of two — it’s tough to turn that down. And if you want an even better deal on live TV, you’ll need to make a decision between YouTube TV and Hulu With Live TV.

What’s new on Peacock in April 2023
A nun walks in a crowded hospital in Mrs. Davis.

The best way to describe Peacock is that it's essentially NBC+. There are a lot of movies from the Universal Pictures catalog, but the real attraction is the daily updates of NBC's various sporting events, as well as episodes of Access Hollywood and the long-running soap opera Days of Our Lives. In April, Peacock's paid subscribers can watch both nights of WrestleMania, but for our money, the real grudge match is in Damon Lindelof's new sci-fi series, Mrs. Davis. That show pits a determined nun against an all-powerful AI system that is on the verge of dominating mankind.

Keep reading for the full list of films, series, and live sporting events that will be available on the streaming service throughout the month, as well as everything else coming to Peacock in April 2023. Our recommendations are highlighted in bold. (Note: Some content will not be available to watch without a paid subscription at the Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus levels.)
