Netflix April 2026: Apex, Beef S2, Tales From ’85
Netflix's April 2026 lineup brings Charlize Theron's Apex, Beef season 2, and Tales From ’85, delivering thrills, drama, and retro Hawkins vibes.
Netflix's April 2026 lineup is packed with high-profile releases, headlined by Apex, a blockbuster thriller starring Charlize Theron, and Beef Season 2, which returns with a new ensemble led by Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny. Tales From ’85, an animated spin-off, bridges seasons 2 and 3 and is set in Hawkins during the winter of 1985 as the original characters confront new monsters and a paranormal mystery.
Apex debuts on 24 April in the UK and US, bringing a tense survival thriller to Netflix's spring slate. Fans can expect Theron's signature poise and relentless pace as the film follows characters fighting to survive under pressure.
Beef Season 2 expands the story with fresh arcs centered on new and returning faces, continuing the show's blend of dark humor and sharp social commentary as it explores crowded emotions and close-up confrontations.
Tales From ’85 offers a retro-inspired detour for fans of the live-action hit, with animated adventures that fill in gaps between seasons two and three, all while revisiting Hawkins in a wintery 1985 setting.
Netflix's April lineup also features a slate of original titles released across the month, including a mix of films and series such as Eat Pray Bark, Merrily We Roll Along, and other originals, providing viewers with a varied watchlist throughout the month.
