Paramount+ in April 2026: The Ultimate Guide to Every New Movie and Show

Paramount+ is stacking April 2026 with binge-worthy premieres and classic hits. Leading the lineup is Made for March, a riveting docuseries following two NCAA teams through March Madness, plus a deep bench of fresh series and fan-favorite films you’ll want to queue up now.

Paramount+ is stuffing April with so much TV and so many movies that you may want to make a spreadsheet. The headliners: a new college-hoops docuseries tracking two NCAA teams in real time, the season 2 finale of the Kathy Bates Matlock, a new Cheech & Chong exclusive, a stack of Tyler Perry shows, and a wall of classic films (Catch Me If You Can, Rounders, Saving Private Ryan, The Social Network, and an entire Paranormal Activity run). Here is how to make sense of it all — and where to start.

Sports and docs

Made For March (Paramount+ original docuseries) launches Apr 4 with Episode 101, continues with Episodes 102 and 103 on Apr 5, and circles back Apr 18 for Episode 104. The hook is simple and great: we follow two NCAA teams riding the chaos of March Madness. If you like the week-to-week adrenaline of real-time sports storytelling, this is for you.

The Masters 2026 streams Apr 8. The listing shows two asterisks next to it with no key to decode — likely a programming note on their end. Either way, it is The Masters; expect the green jackets, Amen Corner, the whole thing.

You Don't Know Where I'm From, Dawg (Paramount+ original docuseries) lands Apr 14. Title leaves an impression, which is the point.

My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders (Paramount+ original docuseries) drops Apr 28. True-crime crowd, set a reminder.

Comedy, drama, and a Cheech & Chong curveball

Cheech & Chong's Last Movie is a Paramount+ exclusive landing Apr 20. The date feels on-brand. If you have a soft spot for this duo, you know what you are getting and that is the sell.

Matlock wraps its second season on Apr 23. Yes, that Matlock — but this time led by Kathy Bates, who can class up literally anything and usually does.

Kids, family, and animation

PAW Patrol Valiente: A Tracker Story shows up Apr 6. DORA: Magic Mermaid Adventures arrives Apr 22. On Apr 15, The Loud House: European Adventure adds another travel chapter for the Louds. Easy family-night wins across the board.

The Tyler Perry surge (and friends)

Apr 7 loads up a trio: Tyler Perry's Ruthless (Seasons 1-5), Tyler Perry's Zatima (Season 2 and Season 4 part 1 — not a typo on my end, that is how it is listed), and Tyler Perry's Divorced Sistas (Season 1 part 1). Then Apr 15 adds Tyler Perry's The Oval (Seasons 5-7) alongside a deep bench: First Wives Club (Season 3), Lil Kev (Season 1), The Michael Blackson Show (Season 1), The Ms. Pat Show (Seasons 1-5), American Gangster: Trap Queens (Seasons 3-4), Carl Weber's The Family Business (Seasons 4-6), Haus of Vicious (Seasons 1-2), and Sacrifice (Season 1).

End-of-month add-ons

Apr 29 brings more library: American Gangster (Season 1), Angel (Season 1), Carl Weber's The Family Business: New Orleans (Season 1), Caught Up (Season 1), House on Fire (Season 1), The Last Cowboy (Season 6), Legacy (Season 1), and Kenan & Kel (Seasons 3-4). If you are filling gaps from old-school Nickelodeon, those Kenan & Kel seasons are clutch.

One odd notation worth flagging

Some movie titles on Apr 1 carry an asterisk (like Day of the Fight* and Molly's Game*), and The Masters 2026 is listed with a double asterisk. Paramount+ did not attach a legend explaining why, so I am not reading tea leaves there — just know the symbols are in their schedule.
