Welcome to your weekly look-ahead at what’s hitting Netflix in the United States over the next seven days. It’s going to be a blockbuster week for the streamer, with a highly anticipated sci-fi spin-off, returning comedy favorites, and a major SVOD movie premiere headlining the April 20th to April 26th, 2026 roster.
If you want to see everything still to come throughout the remainder of the month, don’t forget to keep an eye on our comprehensive guide to what’s coming to Netflix in April 2026. We’ve also just done another big update for the upcoming May 2026 releases. Plus, you may have missed it, but we’ve now added a really cool carousel and calendar feature to our coming soon page!
On the removals front, today is your very last day to watch all the James Bond movies before they depart overnight. Elsewhere, we’d recommend watching Murder at Yellowstone City (2022) before it departs at the end of the week. Sony Pictures’ first-window movie Daddio, starring Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson, is also set to leave later in the week, and it’s well worth a watch.
Before we dive into the full daily rundown, let’s take a look at our top three highlights for the week:
Most Anticipated New Releases on Netflix This Week
Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 (Season 1) Netflix Original
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
While we continue to patiently wait for the monumental fifth and final season of the flagship show to arrive, the Duffer Brothers are holding us over with our first proper expansion of the Stranger Things television universe.
This brand-new animated anthology series dials the clock back to the neon-drenched summer of 1985. Promising a mix of Saturday morning cartoon nostalgia and that signature Hawkins sci-fi horror, the series explores unseen adventures that took place right before the events of Season 3. If you’re suffering from Demogorgon withdrawals, this is going to be an absolute must-watch.
Bugonia (2025)
Coming to Netflix: Sunday
Making its (partial) SVOD debut on Netflix US as part of the ongoing Pay-1 output deal with Universal Pictures is Bugonia, the latest mind-bending sci-fi comedy from visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness).
Starring his frequent collaborators Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, the film is an Oscar-nominated English-language remake of the 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet!. It follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, entirely convinced she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth. It’s bizarre, darkly hilarious, and exactly the kind of eccentric cinema that makes for a fantastic weekend movie night.
Running Point (Season 2) Netflix Original
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
Mindy Kaling’s hit sports comedy series is back on the court for its sophomore season!
Kate Hudson returns as Isla Gordon, the unpredictable and newly appointed president of the legendary Los Angeles Waves basketball franchise. Following the dramatic shakeups in the front office at the end of season one, Isla is now facing the pressure of an entire city—and her highly skeptical family—as she tries to lead the team to a championship.
