And, if these aren't what you're looking for, check out Streamline's most recent 'Top Charts' playlist!
Why You Should Watch: Season 7 of Black Mirror features six new episodes, including the first-ever sequel in Black Mirror history — "USS Callister: Into Infinity", continuing the fan-favorite story from Season 4. Creator Charlie Brooker promises a mix of genres and styles, all rooted in the show's signature sci-fi lens. Since 2011, Black Mirror has explored the dark side of technology — and fans can expect more of the same this season.
Where and when to watch: Watch Black Mirror season 7 on Netflix on Thursday, April 10, and you can buy seasons 3-5 on Prime Video and Apple TV.
Why you should watch: Season 2 of The Last of Us picks up five years after the events of Season 1, with seven new episodes following Joel and Ellie in a post apocalyptic future overrun by zombie-like creatures. Variety reported that fans should expect a healthy balance of the original video game material, plus some additional narratives making it perfect for a compelling television series. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey once again lead a star-studded cast, which includes Kaitlyn Dever and Catherine O’Hara.
Where and when to watch: The Last of Us Season 2 will be available on HBO and Max next Sunday, April 13, with new episodes dropping weekly. You can stream season 1 now on Max, or catch it with the HBO add-on on Amazon Prime Video and other platforms.
The Handmaid's Tale — Season 6: The sixth and final season of The Handmaid's Tale lands on Hulu on Tuesday, April 8, with the first three episodes available immediately, and the rest being released weekly. The season finale will premiere on May 27, 2025.
Andor — Season 2: One of Disney's best, Andor, returns to Disney+ on Tuesday, April 22. The second season of the Star-Wars prequel series will consist of 12 episodes, released in four 'chapters'. With each chapter containing three episodes, the expectation being that new chapters will debut weekly.
You — Season 5: The fifth and final season of You will be available exclusively on Netflix starting April 24. All ten episodes will be released simultaneously, making the thriller series an easy weekend binge-watch.
It's finally here, the season finale of White Lotus. Everyone is speculating about how the series will wrap up its loose ends, who will die and how. According to the LA Times, these are the three most popular fan predictions:
- Piper isn’t staying in that Buddhist monastery
- Rick’s father is Jim Hollinger
- Gaitok is going to confront the Russians over the robbery
What do you think? Don't miss the last episode airing on HBO and streaming on Max tonight at 9 PM EST.
Oh, and, can we quickly acknowledge the meme White Lotus unintentionally created. Right after Duke lost to Houston in the Final Four, fans immediately took to X and Instagram to post a pretty dark photo of Jason Isaac's Timothy Ratliff from episode 6, where he's wearing none other than a Duke shirt... The jokes really do just write themselves.
Saturday, The Final Four. Monday, the NCAA National Championship. Thursday, the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. Let that sink in. Add in the fact that Major League Baseball is back, plus the NBA and NHL playoffs are about to get started, and, heck, even throw in a little WrestleMania.
April is the month for sports.
NCAA: Watch the NCAA National Championship LIVE on CBS at 8:50 PM ET Monday night, and stream it on the March Madness Live app and through Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME® plan. Coverage starts at 8 PM ET.
Masters: Watch the entire tournament on the Masters App and Masters.com. ESPN will have the first two rounds of the Masters on Thursday & Friday from 3–7:30 PM ET. The third and fourth rounds will air on CBS on Saturday & Sunday from 2–7 PM ET. You can stream the weekend rounds on Paramount+ from 12-2 PM ET.
And, don't forget to add all of your favorite teams and events directly to your Streamline calendar.
