The 7 Best Netflix Podcasts to Binge Right Now (April 2026), Including The Big Picture
Netflix isn’t just for TV and movies anymore—since February it’s been rolling out a growing slate of video podcasts, from true-crime staple My Favorite Murder to a deep bench of hit sports shows.
Netflix is not just movies and TV anymore. Since February 2026, they have been sliding podcasts with video into the app like it is no big deal. The catalog is already weirdly robust, running from true-crime staples like 'My Favorite Murder' to The Ringer sports empire and film- nerd favorites like 'The Big Picture.' And because this space is moving fast, Watch With Us just refreshed its picks for the best podcasts on Netflix right now — with two new additions — so here is the current lay of the land.
The best podcasts you can stream on Netflix right now
- 'The Big Picture'
Culture writers Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins keep the movie conversation humming: weekly reviews of what you actually need to see, Awards Season drama, Top Five drafts, and the occasional delightfully nerdy detour. Friends from The Ringer orbit — Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, Van Lathan — drop by often. Recent swings include unpacking 'The Drama,' arguing the best movie twists ever, and sparring over the 25 best films of the 21st century. - 'Last Podcast on the Left'
If your happy place is somewhere between true crime and urban legends, this one lives there. Hosts Marcus Parks, Ed Larson, and Henry Zebrowski bounce from the grim (Jeffrey Dahmer, Jimmy Savile, the Jonestown massacre) to the gleefully ghoulish (werewolves, ghosts, cryptids). Guests skew filmmaker-friendly: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett ('Ready or Not 2: Here I Come'), Dan Trachtenberg ('10 Cloverfield Lane'), Kevin Smith — you get the idea. - 'The Bill Simmons Podcast'
The most downloaded sports podcast ever still does what it does: Bill Simmons (HBO/The Ringer) runs point with a rotating crew of athletes, celebs, media folks, and his usual suspects — Joe House, Cousin Sal, various friends and family — to obsess over the NBA, NFL, MLB, gambling edges, and whatever else crosses the sports ticker. - 'STASSI with Tay'
Yes, that Stassi. Stassi Schroeder teams up with her best friend Tay Strecker to talk through the chaos of pop culture, relationships, and the ongoing reality check that is motherhood. It is weekly, candid, and a little cutting — in a fun way. - 'The Pete Davidson Show'
Brand-new and very Pete about it: he is literally recording this in his garage. Expect loose, intimate hangs with his celebrity friends, dropping every Friday as a Netflix exclusive. He says he will sometimes take the show on the road, too. The debut episode (January 30) features Machine Gun Kelly. - 'The Rewatchables'
Another Ringer joint. Simmons convenes a rotating roundtable — think Sean Fennessey, Joanna Robinson, and other film junkies — to break down movies they cannot stop revisiting. Recent pit stops: 'Wild Things,' 'Zodiac,' 'The Rock,' and 'This Is the End.' Comfort cinema with stats, quotes, and the kind of nerdy categories that make you want to argue along. - 'The Ringer NFL Draft Show'
Not a crypto thing — despite the occasional typo out there — this is firmly about football. Danny Heifetz, Danny Kelly, and Craig Horlbeck map out how to win your fantasy league: who to draft, who to dodge, which coaches might sabotage your Sunday, and which 'old' players are not cooked yet. They cover the draft buildup from spring into summer, then crank up to even more weekly episodes once the fall season hits, with matchup and trade analysis baked in.
Why this matters (and what is new)
Netflix quietly becoming a home for video-first podcasts is a curveball — but a convenient one if you like having a show on while you cook, scroll, or pretend to organize your closet. And because Watch With Us just updated its picks with two fresh adds, the lineup above is current. If you want something you can watch and listen to at the same time without hunting through five different apps, this is an easy win.
