It can be hard to keep up with everything new, so we’ve picked out some recommendations and listed the biggest original shows and movies coming to the platform. You’ll also find a full schedule below showing everything arriving on Paramount+ in April 2026, and when you can start watching it.
MovieWeb Staff Picks for What’s New to Paramount+ in April 2026
- Galaxy Quest Apr. 1: A group of washed-up actors from a defunct sci-fi show find themselves having to step into the role of real heroes when aliens abduct them from a convention after watching their exploits on TV. A cult comedy that lovingly pokes fun at sci-fi TV tropes. Well-written, solid performances, and a tight, clever script make Galaxy Quest a film that sci-fi fans (particularly Star Trek) can revisit anytime.
- Gangs of New York Apr. 1: Set in 1860s New York, Gangs of New York follows a young Irish immigrant, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who returns to avenge his father’s death at the hands of a brutal gang leader, played by Daniel Day-Lewis. Phenomenal cast and exceptional direction from Martin Scorsese make the film a masterpiece of historical revenge storytelling that deserves to be seen.
- Incident at Oglala Apr. 1: An engrossing and thought-provoking documentary, Incident at Oglala delves into the controversial case of Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the deaths of two FBI agents during a 1975 conflict on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The 1997 doc’s exploration of justice, government power, and treatment of the indigenous people remains relevant decades later.
- House on Fire (Season 1) Apr. 29: For fans of LGBTQ+ TV, House on Fire offers a look into the legendary House of Miyake-Mugler in New York. Full of drama, as family members balance their careers, steamy relationships, and heated rivalries. Yet, it is the insightful look into New York’s queer scene that is at the heart of this series.
