April’s Must-See Max Releases You Can’t Miss!

This upcoming April promises a significant surge in streaming content, and Max is set to deliver some new releases to captivate viewers. Regardless of whether you prefer dramatic tales, lighthearted humor, or action-packed films, there will be offerings tailored to your taste.

I have exclusive information about upcoming movies in April on Max, which includes both returning classics and fresh titles that seem promising. Let’s take a closer look at the schedule.

‘Hacks S4’

The fourth season of the comedy series ‘Hacks’ returns on April 10th. Starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, this season follows Deborah and Ava, two women working together to create a late-night show and bring about change within the industry. The new season will premiere with a double episode, followed by weekly releases for four weeks. It will conclude with a double episode on May 15th, another on May 22nd, and the finale will air on May 29th.

This time around, the sense of importance is stronger as they strive for television history. The ensemble includes familiar faces such as Paul W. Downs and Megan Stalter, along with fresh additions like Helen Hunt, Tony Goldwyn, and Julianne Nicholson. Originating from the minds of Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky, it retains the sharp humor we adore, under the banner of Universal Television.

‘The Last Of Us S2’

Make sure to note down April 13 as it’s when ‘The Last Of Us’ season two will premiere on Max. The story continues five years beyond the first season, with Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) navigating a world that has grown even more chaotic. The series consists of seven episodes, which will be released weekly starting from this date. An interesting feature is that it will initially offer American Sign Language alongside the show, beginning on the same day – April 13. Additionally, season one will also be made available with ASL from March 31.

This season delves Joel and Ellie into new struggles, following the popular PlayStation game by Naughty Dog. Joining returning cast member Gabriel Luna are fresh faces such as Kaitlyn Dever and Jeffrey Wright, while Catherine O’Hara makes a special appearance. Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann are at the helm, with Sony Pictures Television sharing production duties.

‘The Rehearsal S2’

The offbeat comedy show ‘The Rehearsal’ by Nathan Fielder comes back for its second season on April 20. In this six-episode series, Fielder assists ordinary people in preparing for major life events using unusual, over-the-top scenarios involving construction crews and a multitude of actors. For the new season, he’s planning to tackle something larger that unites us all, but he’s keeping the specifics under wraps at the moment.

Fielder is in charge of writing, directing, and acting in the show, with Eric Notarnicola and Carrie Kemper as part of his team. New episodes are released each week, and if you enjoyed the unique feel of the first season, this one promises to amplify the disorder even more. It’s an intriguing journey following Fielder as he attempts to control life’s randomness, and I’m eager to see where it leads.

‘Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night Of Your Life’

Brett Goldstein is set to debut a comedy special on Max around April, called “Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night Of Your Life.” Famous for his role in “Ted Lasso,” Goldstein himself penned and stars in this production, with Jeff Tomsic at the helm as director. This standalone event promises to deliver a night filled with laughter, and I’d wager that it will showcase Goldstein’s signature dry and intelligent humor.

Information is scant, but it’s been created with assistance from Matthew Vaughn and Molly Mandel. If you’re a fan of quick-witted and humorous comedy specials, this could offer an enjoyable diversion from the more serious shows scheduled for this month.

‘Y2K’

On April 4th, the A24 movie titled ‘Y2K’ is set to release, taking us on a thrilling journey back to 1999. Imagines two high school juniors attempting to celebrate New Year’s Eve, but instead find themselves battling for survival amidst a dial-up catastrophe. The star-studded cast includes Jaeden Martell and Rachel Zegler, along with Julian Dennison, The Kid Laroi, and Fred Durst, who are all part of the ensuing mayhem.

Kyle Mooney serves as director and co-writer alongside Evan Winter, while Jonah Hill and Chris Storer serve as producers to maintain an A24-esque eccentric vibe. This comedy offers a nostalgic tech twist, making it an intriguing concept that instantly appeals to me—it promises to be an entertaining, chaotic throwback to the past.

‘Babygirl’

Wrapping up the month on the 25th of April, there’s another captivating film from A24 titled ‘Babygirl’. In this movie, Nicole Kidman portrays a CEO who takes significant risks, potentially jeopardizing her career and family, for a passionate relationship with her younger colleague, Harris Dickinson. Sophie Wilde and Antonio Banderas also star, adding an extra dash of tension to the storyline.

Halina Reijn is the writer and director, while David Hinojosa and Julia Oh are the producers. It carries an A24 vibe, characterized by daring decisions and a tale likely to linger in your memory. If you appreciate drama infused with intensity, this production seems tailored just for you.
