New Movies & Shows Coming to Prime in April You Can’t Miss
1. Crime 101 (April 1)
If sleek heist thrillers are your thing, Crime 101 deserves to go straight to the top of your watchlist. The story follows a master thief and an insurance broker who team up for a high-stakes robbery, while a determined detective closes in before the whole thing explodes.
With stars like Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, this one already has major must-watch energy. Stylish, tense, and loaded with cat-and-mouse suspense, Crime 101 looks like the kind of thriller that keeps you hooked till the very last move.
2. Maa Ka Sum (April 3)
This one brings heart, humour, and a genuinely fun twist. Maa Ka Sum follows a teenage genius who believes every problem in life can be solved with logic, formulas, and mathematics — including his mother’s love life.
As he sets out to find her the “perfect” partner, things quickly spiral into emotional chaos, awkward moments, and sweet surprises. Warm, relatable, and family-friendly, this is the kind of dramedy that feels light, lovable, and easy to watch.
3. The Boys Season 5 (April 8)
The biggest and wildest Prime Video release this month is easily The Boys Season 5 — and yes, this is the final season. It kicks off with a two-episode premiere before rolling out weekly until its finale on May 20, and it already looks absolutely unhinged in the best way possible.
This season throws us into a world where Homelander has basically tightened his grip on everything, while the remaining members of The Boys are scattered, trapped, and seriously outnumbered. Annie January is trying to build a resistance, while Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are stuck in a so-called “Freedom Camp.” And then there’s Billy Butcher, who reappears with a virus that could wipe out every Supe.
Total chaos. Big battles. Dark comedy. Bloody revenge. If this show is really going out, it’s clearly planning to go out with a bang.
4. Absolute Value Of Romance (April 17)
Set in a Korean high school, Absolute Value of Romance follows Yeo Eui-ju (Kim Hyang Gi), a student living a secret double life. By day, she’s an ordinary schoolgirl, but by night, she writes web novels and dreams of becoming an author.
Things get complicated when she uses a group of new teachers as inspiration for her latest story, blurring the line between fiction and real life. Full of school drama, romance, and fun chaos, this Prime Video original premieres on April 17.
5. Matka King (April 17)
If you love stories about power, ambition, betrayal, and dangerous rise-to-the-top arcs, Matka King looks like one to watch.
The series follows a small-time trader who enters the high-risk world of illegal betting and slowly climbs his way toward influence and control. But in a world built on greed, loyalty never lasts long, and every win comes with a bigger price.
Dark, gritty, and packed with crime-drama tension, this one looks like a compelling dive into the underbelly of a rapidly changing city.
6. O Romeo
Set in the dangerous lanes of the Mumbai underworld, O Romeo blends gang wars, betrayal, ambition, and forbidden emotions into one dark, intense story.
At the centre of all the violence and power games is an unexpected love story, giving the film an emotional layer beneath all the bloodshed and chaos. If you like your dramas moody, mature, and soaked in danger, this one could be a solid late-night watch.
Note: The movie has been available on Prime Video on rent since March 27 and is expected to become available to stream for free toward the end of April.
7. The House of the Spirits (April 29)
For those who want something more emotional, layered, and visually rich, The House of the Spirits could be one of Prime Video’s most intriguing releases this month.
This eight-episode Spanish-language adaptation of Isabel Allende’s iconic novel looks sweeping, dramatic, and deeply personal. Inspired by family history and Chile’s turbulent political past, the story follows three generations of women — Clara, Blanca, and Alba — as they navigate love, loss, power, and survival in a conservative South American society.
With family drama, political tension, and touches of magical realism, this one feels like the kind of slow-burn prestige series that pulls you in emotionally and stays with you after it ends.
More Surprises Are Expected This Month
And honestly, if Prime Video has taught us anything, it’s this – the platform loves dropping a few surprise additions when nobody’s expecting them. So, April might still have a few more tricks up its sleeve.
So if you’ve been waiting for a reason to cancel plans, stay in, and start something new… this is it.
