If your watchlist needs a refresh, April 2026 is lining up to do exactly that on Netflix. On the local front, 180 lands on 17 April 2026 and looks set to hit hard. Starring Prince Grootboom, the film dives into the fallout of a split-second decision gone horribly wrong.
After a road rage incident leaves his son fighting for his life, a father is pulled into a spiral of grief, anger, and revenge that threatens to consume everything around him.
Meanwhile, BEEF Season 2 drops on 16 April 2026 with a completely new conflict at its core. This time, things kick off when two employees at a high-end country club capture a disturbing altercation between their boss and his wife. What follows is a messy, no-holds-barred blackmail battle where nobody comes out clean.
If you’re in the mood for something lighter (but still chaotic in its own way), Funny AF with Kevin Hart arrives on 20 April 2026.
Hosted by Kevin Hart, the series throws aspiring comedians into the deep end as they compete to become the next big name in stand-up, all while exposing the unpredictable grind behind the laughs.
But that’s not all… It’s safe to say, April 2026 and Netflix isn’t playing around…
