Spring is on the horizon, and with it comes a fresh slate of Netflix titles. This April, you can expect to stream a long list of movies, including Netflix’s collection of older releases that are made available on the first day of the month.

But if you’re looking for something exclusive and new, Netflix has you covered on that front with its original films. Here are four new Netflix movies to watch this April.

Feel My Voice

An emotionally-charged melody of lives

If you’re a fan of emotional dramas, this foreign title will be a treat for your senses and heart. Feel My Voice is an Italian drama that follows teenager Eletta, whose parents have been deaf since birth. She soon discovers an extraordinary talent: her voice.

Encouraged by her teacher, Eletta auditions for a prestigious music school and tries pursuing her dreams. However, she is faced with reality when she understands what she must sacrifice: in her pursuit to sing, she might have to leave behind her family, for whom she is the only voice. The film is adapted from La Famille Belier, a French-Belgian comedy-drama film whose English remake, CODA, won several awards, including Best Picture at the Oscars.

Feel My Voice begins streaming globally on April 3, 2026.

Roommates

The boon and bane of college housing

What happens when polar opposites end up living in the same space, maybe for the foreseeable future? Roommates is a laid-back comedy film that tells the story of two college freshmen—all fresh-faced and ready to take on the world—who end up as roommates after meeting at their orientation program.

While one girl, Devon, is naive and hopeful, her roommate, Celeste, is outgoing and confident. As their personalities clash and adapt to one another, they go through the essential checklist of college life together. Tensions rise and hilarity ensues, with their love-hate friendship reaching a boiling point when their personalities clash. Sadie Sandler and Chloe East lead the movie.

Roommates begins streaming globally on April 17, 2026.

Thrash

Another shark movie … or is it?

Shark movies are a unique genre that I can never look away from, whether they’re actually good or devastatingly bad. I’m hoping it’s the former for Netflix’s new shark movie Thrash. Set in a coastal town hit by a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane, the story follows a group of stranded residents fighting to stay alive as floodwaters rise and resources deplete.

But the storm brings something else nightmare-worthy: sharks swarming through the streets along with the floods, turning the natural disaster into a blood-soaked fight for survival. Essentially left for the dead, the residents have to find a way out of the flood and everything it brings, with time running out.

Thrash begins streaming globally on April 10, 2026.

Apex

The hunt is on, but who is the predator and prey?

High stakes, survival, and the thrill of the game: these are what Apex, a Netflix Original survival action film, is all about. The movie follows a risky cat-and-mouse game between a grieving rock climber (Mad Max’s Charlize Theron) and an unnatural predator in the wild—a deranged hunter and serial killer (Kingsman’s Taron Egerton).

With nothing but nature and their own senses to rely on, the duo finds themselves in an obsessive, life-or-death chase through the wilderness, hoping to outwit each other. Apex was shot in the rugged landscapes of New South Wales, Australia, with the rugged terrain and natural habitat being a core element of the thriller’s maze-like setting.

Apex begins streaming globally on April 24, 2026.
