Upcoming Web Series April 2026: Must-Watch OTT Releases on Netflix, Prime Video & More

What’s Coming to OTT in April 2026

April 2026 brings six genuinely compelling OTT releases across platforms — not filler, not mid-season holdovers. Netflix opens the month with Maamla Legal Hai Season 2 (April 3), the courtroom comedy that trended #3 in India in its debut run, and closes it with BEEF Season 2 (April 16), an entirely new story from the Emmy-winning anthology. Prime Video delivers the most anticipated finale of the year: The Boys Season 5 (April 8), the last chapter of one of the best superhero shows ever made. Also landing this month: Full Swing Season 4 (Netflix), Sitaare Zameen Par (SonyLIV), and Maa Ka Sum (Prime Video).

1. Maamla Legal Hai Season 2 — Netflix, April 3

 

 

Cast: Ravi Kishan, Nidhi Bisht, Naila Grewal, Anant Joshi, Anjum Batra  |  Genre: Courtroom Comedy  |  Language: Hindi  |  Episodes: 10

 

District Court Patparganj is back in session. Season 1 of Maamla Legal Hai became one of Netflix India’s breakout hits — trending #3 nationally and averaging 8.2/10 on IMDb. V.D. Tyagi (Ravi Kishan) returns with the same quirky bench: cases involving a ghost marriage dispute, an AI-written will, and a viral meme ownership claim. The same writers’ room and the complete original cast are back. If Season 1 worked for you, Season 2 is a safe bet for the family weekend.

Best for: Family viewing, Hindi comedy fans, anyone who missed Season 1 (it’s on Netflix — catch up before April 3).

2. The Boys Season 5 — Prime Video, April 8

 

 

Cast: Antony Starr, Jack Quaid, Karl Urban, Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, Jessie T. Usher  |  Genre: Superhero Satire, Dark Comedy  |  Language: English

 

This is the one everyone has been waiting for. The Boys has run for five seasons without losing its bite — 8.6/10 on IMDb from 450,000+ ratings, multiple Emmy nominations, and a cultural footprint that put phrases like “Compound V” into everyday vocabulary. Season 5 is confirmed as the series finale. Showrunner Eric Kripke has said the ending honours the original comic while going further than readers expect. Homelander is at his most dangerous. Butcher is facing the consequences of every choice he’s made. The showdown lands April 8.

Don’t start here. Watch Seasons 1–4 first — the payoff in Season 5 depends on it. All four seasons are on Prime Video.

3. BEEF Season 2 — Netflix, April 16

 

Cast: Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, Cailee Spaeny, Yuh-jung Youn  |  Genre: Psychological Drama, Anthology  |  Language: English  |  Episodes: 10

 

 

BEEF is an anthology — Season 2 shares nothing with Season 1 except its DNA: a single petty conflict that spirals into something devastating. Season 1 (Steven Yeun, Ali Wong) won 5 Emmys including Outstanding Limited Series and averaged 8.7/10 on IMDb. Season 2 moves to a country club setting. A young couple witnesses their employer and his wife in a violent confrontation. What they see — and what they choose to do with that knowledge — sets off a chain of consequences neither is prepared for. Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan are two of the finest actors working today; this is their first project together. Official Season 2 artwork has not been released ahead of the April 16 premiere.

Clean entry point: You do not need to watch Season 1. Both are self-contained stories.

4. Full Swing Season 4 — Netflix, April 16

 

 

Genre: Sports Documentary  |  Coverage: PGA Tour 2026  |  Language: English

 

Netflix’s golf docu-series returns for a fourth season, following the 2026 PGA Tour with the same mic’d-up, behind-the-ropes access that made earlier seasons chart in over 42 countries. Full Swing works for the same reason Drive to Survive works: the format makes elite sport feel personal. You don’t need to follow golf. The tension comes from money, pressure, and ego — all of which translate regardless of sporting knowledge.

Best for: Sports documentary fans, Drive to Survive viewers, anyone curious about the mental side of professional golf.

5. Sitaare Zameen Par — SonyLIV OTT Premiere, April 3

Aamir Khan’s first major film since Laal Singh Chaddha released theatrically on June 20, 2025 to strong reviews before its OTT premiere on SonyLIV. Sitaare Zameen Par is a spiritual companion to Taare Zameen Par — this time following adults with Down syndrome forming a basketball team, coached by a character played by Aamir Khan. Genelia D’Souza co-stars. The trailer reached 40 million views in its first week, and the film drew strong reviews for its sensitive handling of the subject. Distributed by PVR Inox Pictures for its theatrical run, the film now arrives on SonyLIV on April 3 for home viewing.

6. Maa Ka Sum — Prime Video, April 3

 

 

Cast: Mona Singh, Mihir Ahuja, Ranveer Brar, Angira Dhar  |  Genre: Family Drama  |  Language: Hindi  |  Episodes: 8

 

A Prime Video India original directed by Nicholas Kharkongor. When a teenage math prodigy decides to use algorithms to find the perfect partner for his single mother, the plan works — until it doesn’t. Mona Singh, best known for Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin and 3 Idiots, leads the cast. Prime Video India originals like Panchayat (8.8/10 IMDb) and Mirzapur have established the platform’s credibility with grounded Hindi storytelling. No official poster has been released ahead of the April 3 premiere.

Best for: Family drama fans, viewers who enjoy warm-humoured slice-of-life stories.
