New on Hulu: All the Movies and TV Coming in April
Images via Paramount Pictures Movies Features Hulu
We’re already nearly a quarter of the way into 2019, if you can believe it, and as the days keep flying off the calendar, new titles keep making their way to streaming services. As such, Hulu subscribers will have the following new film and television options at their fingertips, come April.
Hulu’s incoming film slate is impressive, and one of its most eye-catching titles is more concerned with our ears: horror-thriller A Quiet Place (April 2), the directorial debut of John Krasinski, who stars alongside Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe as a family struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world stalked by monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing. The film was one of 2018’s most pleasantly surprising commercial and critical hits, and as far as we know, this is its streaming-service debut, so if you missed the boat in theaters, now’s your chance. But first, a cavalcade of other notable films precede A Quiet Place on April 1, including Stanley Kubrick’s horror classic The Shining, underrated David Cronenberg crime-thriller Eastern Promises, the Coen brothers’ Barton Fink, Steve Martin-starring comedy essential The Jerk, John Carpenter’s Snake Plissken adventure Escape from L.A., live-action Addams Family films The Addams Family and Addams Family Values, Tony Scott’s Oscar-nominated Days of Thunder, Cheech & Chong’s stoner-comedy classic Up in Smoke, a pair of Jim Carrey vehicles in Big Fat Liar and The Cable Guy, Jason Reitman’s Oscar-nominated romantic dramedy Up in the Air, drug-dealing drama Blow, Beverly Hills Cop II (you’ll have to look elsewhere for the first one) and a whole bunch of Bond films. There’s more to come later in the month as well, such as horror phenomenon sequel Paranormal Activity 2 (April 8), Karyn Kusama’s Nicole Kidman-led detective thriller Destroyer (April 9), acclaimed Jacques Audiard Western The Sisters Brothers (April 22) and 2019 Oscar nominee Border (April 24), for instance.
Next month also brings plenty to Hulu by way of small-screen offerings, starting on April 1 with the latest installment of the streamer’s original series Into the Dark. New episodes of the Blumhouse anthology premiere monthly, each inspired by a holiday that falls in that same span—as you may have guessed, this month’s episode, titled “I’m Just F*cking With You,” concerns April Fools’ Day. Also debuting that same day are new seasons of History Channel’s Ancient Aliens, A&E’s Intervention and, uh, Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Potomac, if those are more your speed. Following later on in the month are a One-Punch Man catch-up special (April 2), the season two premiere of Freeform’s Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger (April 5), the actual season two premiere of One-Punch Man (April 9), the season three premiere of Freeform’s The Bold Type (April 10), the complete first season of TNT’s Patty Jenkins/Chris Pine murder-mystery limited series I Am The Night (April 18), the complete season one premiere of Hulu original Ramy (April 19) and the complete season 5B of History Channel’s decidedly ahistoric Vikings, to name a few. Folks who access pay-cable subscriptions through Hulu also have plenty to be excited about: Starz subscribers should be focused more on the movie department, but season two of Showtime’s The Chi premieres on April 7, and the final season of HBO epic Game of Thrones premieres on April 14, and you can stream it all via Hulu.
We’ll leave you with which titles are departing the streamer next month, all of which do so on April 30. Notable expirations include 1980 country club comedy Caddyshack (and 1988 follow-up Caddyshack II), iconic Susan Sarandon/Geena Davis-led crime caper Thelma & Louise, Oliver Stone’s Oscar-winning Vietnam war drama Born on the Fourth of July, 1989 baseball classic Field of Dreams, hard-rockin’ SNL spinoffs Wayne’s World and Wayne’s World 2, beloved Looney Tunes/live-action hybrid Space Jam, Tim Burton’s 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory adaptation and more. Watch what you want while you can watch it, folks—words to live by, those.
