Every Movie & TV Show Coming to Amazon Prime Video in April
April’s here, and Prime Video is rolling out a hefty batch of new movies and TV shows to keep us entertained. The streaming giant isn’t holding back this month, dropping a mix of original series, blockbuster films, and live sports that’ll have something for everyone. With the weather warming up, it’s tempting to head outside, but these releases might just convince me to stay glued to the couch a little longer.
What’s on deck? We’re talking high-stakes thrillers, animated comedies, and even some supernatural twists. Prime Video’s been cooking up fresh content alongside a few returning favorites, and I’m already marking my calendar for the standout titles. Let’s dive into the highlights of what’s hitting the platform this month.
‘The Bondsman’ Kicks Off with Kevin Bacon
Premiering April 3, ‘The Bondsman’ throws Kevin Bacon into a wild role as Hub Halloran, a bounty hunter who’s been brought back from the dead. The twist? The Devil’s the one pulling the strings, tasking him with rounding up escaped demons. It’s a gritty blend of action and horror, with Bacon’s character chasing redemption through a mess of family drama and country tunes.
This one’s got a dark edge that’s hard to resist. Bacon, known for stuff like ‘Footloose’ and ‘Tremors’, brings his rugged charm to this supernatural gig. Created by Grainger David, the show promises a fresh take on the hunter trope, and with Jason Blum co-producing, I’m expecting some solid scares to go with the thrills.
‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX’ Delivers Mecha Madness
Anime fans, get ready—‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX’ lands on April 8 with weekly episodes. This new chapter follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high schooler who stumbles into illegal mobile suit duels after meeting a war refugee named Nyaan. Under the alias Machu, she pilots her GQuuuuuuX into some intense battles.
The Gundam franchise has been a giant in the mecha world since 1979, and this series keeps that legacy alive. It’s a collab between Studio Khara and Sunrise, blending fast-paced action with a coming-of-age story. If you’re into giant robots and high stakes, this one’s going to be a treat.
‘G20’ Stars Viola Davis in a Global Showdown
Hitting screens on April 10, ‘G20’ puts Viola Davis front and center as U.S. President Danielle Sutton. When terrorists crash the G20 summit, she’s forced to fight back to protect her country and family. It’s got that ‘Die Hard’ vibe but with a political twist, and Davis is ready to unleash some serious firepower.
She’s no stranger to tough roles—think ‘Fences’ or ‘The Woman King’—and here, she’s teamed up with Anthony Anderson and Marsai Martin. Directed with a sharp eye for action, this Amazon original looks like it’ll pack a punch. I’m betting on Davis to steal the show as a leader you don’t mess with.
‘#1 Happy Family USA’ Brings Animated Laughs
On April 17, ‘#1 Happy Family USA’ drops as a new animated series with a sharp edge. It follows the Hussein family, a cheerful Muslim crew navigating post-9/11 America—or “Amreeka,” as they call it. Ramy Youssef, the guy behind ‘Ramy’, crafts this satire about finding humor in tough times while dodging suspicious neighbors.
The show’s got a bold voice, mixing comedy with commentary. Youssef’s knack for blending laughs with real-world bite makes this one stand out. It’s a fresh addition to Prime’s lineup, and I’m curious to see how it tackles the early 2000s vibe with its upbeat, quirky spin.
‘Leverage: Redemption’ Returns for Season 3
Also landing on April 17, ‘Leverage: Redemption’ is back for its third season. The crew—led by Gina Bellman as Sophie Devereaux—is ready to take down more crooks with their clever cons. This time, they’re up against a water-stealing power broker, a shady mayor, and an extortionist with global reach.
The original ‘Leverage’ ran on TNT, and this revival keeps the fun going. It’s all about outsmarting the bad guys with style, and the team’s chemistry is a big draw. If you like heist stories with a heart, this season’s shaping up to be a solid ride.
‘Gladiator II’ Brings Epic Battles Back
Landing on April 22, ‘Gladiator II’ picks up years after the original, throwing us into a new Roman saga with Paul Mescal as Lucius. Now grown, he’s out for vengeance after his home’s torched by a ruthless empire. It’s all about bloody arenas, big stakes, and a fight to take down corruption, directed by Ridley Scott who’s back to helm this sequel.
Mescal, fresh off ‘All of Us Strangers’, steps into the spotlight with heavy hitters like Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal. The first ‘Gladiator’ won hearts and Oscars, and this one’s aiming to match that grit and glory. I’m ready for some serious sword-swinging action and a story that hits hard.
‘Étoile’ Dances Onto the Scene
Closing out the big debuts, ‘Étoile’ arrives on April 24 with an eight-episode run. Set in New York and Paris, it follows two top ballet companies swapping their star dancers to save their legacies. Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, the minds behind ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’, are behind this dramedy.
Expect sharp dialogue and plenty of flair—Luke Kirby and Gideon Glick from ‘Maisel’ join a cast including Charlotte Gainsbourg. It’s a peek into the dance world’s chaos and beauty, and with the Palladinos steering, I’m betting it’ll have that same witty charm that hooked me on their last hit.
