Premieres Wednesday, April 8:

The Boys — Homelander is in the White House and his enemies have been shipped off to the camps as the fifth and final season commences. Remember back in Season 3, when the review bombers started complaining this show was too on the nose? These days, it’s practically a true-crime documentary. (Prime Video)

The Testaments — Chase Infiniti may have gotten snubbed by the Oscars, but her consolation prize is getting to headline the sequel series to The Handmaid’s Tale, in which she plays a devout student at a prep school for future wives. The real casting coup, though, will become clear when you take a good look at the headmistress. Yep. It’s Druski, all right. (Hulu)

Trust Me: The False Prophet — Go inside the congregation of Samuel Bateman, who succeeded the notorious Warren Jeffs as leader of America’s most toxic Mormon cult. Guys, I think we’ve found our next Bachelor! (Netflix)

Premieres Thursday, April 9:

Bandi — Their mother’s death leaves a family of 11 Martiniquais facing an uncertain future, and the bond between them is tested when some of them turn to drug trafficking to make ends meet. Careful, folks! Remember how fast Party of Five got canceled once Julia took up whorin’. (Netflix)

Big Mistakes — No longer up Schitt’s Creek, Dan Levy joins Taylor Ortega to play adult siblings who get blackmailed into pulling jobs for the mob. Given that Levy’s character is a gay Christian minister, it’s 50/50 if his main objection is the immorality or the tacky sharkskin suits. (Netflix)

Hacks — Season 5 is also the swan song for the acclaimed broad-com, with Jean Smart’s Deborah having to contend with the potentially career-killing rumor that she has passed away. Or hear me out: She could just lean into it like Morgan Freeman. Being dead has
saved his career like four times now. (HBO Max)

The Miniature Wife — Honey I Shrunk the Kids meets I Dream of Jeannie, kinda, as miniaturization researcher Matthew MacFadyen tries to hide the secret that he has a 6-inch Elizabeth Banks in his house. As opposed to what you’ll hear at Savoy, where one of the most common pickup lines is “I have a 6-inch Elizabeth Banks in my pants.” (Peacock)

Premieres Friday, April 10:

Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair — Most of the original cast is back for a legacy sequel that finds Frankie Muniz’s Malcolm all grown up and a dad in his own right. But his peaceful adult life is threatened when the occasion of his parents’ 40th anniversary forces him to re-engage with them after a blissful decade-plus of no contact. (Man, if this week manages to cram in one more sad farewell or risky resumption, I’m going to feel like I’m dating again.) (Hulu)

Temptation Island Season 2 —The score from last season was three couples out of four that failed the fidelity test. This time, we get to meet another octet of ambivalent partners, and in every case but one, it’s the guy who’s the cause of their uncertainty. Sounds like the producers have learned a thing or two about stacking the deck. (Netflix)

Thrash — Shark Week isn’t for another three months, but here to whet your appetite is the delicate and tasteful story of a bunch of voracious man-eaters who get deposited into an ill-prepared community by a Category 5 hurricane. So much for the false sense of security we got from that uneventful 2025 season, huh? Anybody who lives within 20 miles of Dinosaur World is shitting a brick right now. (Netflix)

Turn of the Tide — Also coming to an end is this Portuguese crime drama, which in its third and final season depicts a cadre of vigilante fishermen fighting to save their business from moneyed interests. Now I’m trying to picture what makes a vigilante fisherman threatening. Maybe they try to give you tetanus with a rusty hook? (Netflix)

At Home With the Furys Season 2 Credit: courtesy of Netflix

Premieres Sunday, April 12:

At Home With the Furys Season 2 — Here’s another round of reality rubbernecking that chronicles former heavyweight champ Tyson Fury’s retirement into a life of peaceful domesticity. If you want to know how that turned out for him, he fights Arslanbek Makhmudov at 2 p.m. ET on this very streamer. Hey, it beats taking the recycling to the curb again. (Netflix)

Premieres Monday, April 13:

Noah Kahan: Out of Body — The Vermont folk-popper returns to his roots and takes a hard look at his inner demons as he prepares to craft his fourth album, The Great Divide. Um, folk-pop? Mental-health navel gazing? And in Vermont? Maybe he should have called it The Big Sap. (Netflix)

Premieres Tuesday, April 14:

Crooks Season 2 — Reluctant thief Charly and his driver, Joseph, are on the move again, this time traversing the distance from Vienna to Bangkok in pursuit of that ever-slippery golden coin. And if that seems like a lot of trouble to go to, you don’t want to hear what I once did to get a Bluey plushie out of a claw machine. (Netflix)

Untold: Jail Blazers — Travel back in time to the NBA of 26 years ago, when we were positively scandalized by the bad example the Portland Trail Blazers were setting by getting busted for weed, threatening refs and even assaulting one another in the locker room. Nowadays, you can see worse at the Mascot Games. (Netflix)

You Don’t Know Where I’m From, Dawg — And if you’re a sane American who thus cares nothing about soccer, you don’t know who he is, either. But you’ll find out from this biographical profile of Clint Dempsey, who allegedly went from living in a trailer park to playing in the FIFA World Cup. Wow, you mean they do something other than give out peace prizes? (Paramount+)
