Apple TV+ in April 2026: Full Schedule, Release Dates, and What to Watch
![]() |
| Your Friends & Neighbors Season 2 |
Apple TV+ is not trying to flood April 2026 with content. Instead, the platform is doing what it usually does best: a small number of high-profile series, each with a clear release strategy.
As of now, Apple TV+ has four confirmed premieres in April 2026, spaced evenly across the month. Each one follows a structured rollout, combining multi-episode premieres with weekly releases.
That makes April one of the easiest months to follow on any streaming platform.

Apple TV+ April 2026 Highlights
Your Friends & Neighbors Season 2 (April 3)
Apple TV+ opens April with the return of Your Friends & Neighbors on April 3, 2026.
-
Episodes at launch: 1
-
Total episodes: 10
-
Release pattern: Weekly (through June 5)
The series, led by Jon Hamm, continues its character-driven drama format. Apple positions this as a slow-burn weekly show, not a binge release, which helps it stay in the conversation across multiple weeks.
Margo’s Got Money Troubles (April 15)
The biggest new Apple TV+ launch of the month arrives on April 15, 2026.
-
Episodes at launch: 3
-
Total episodes: 8
-
Release pattern: Weekly (every Wednesday through May 20)
The series stars Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer, and is created by David E. Kelley.
Apple is clearly treating this as its flagship April debut, giving it a multi-episode launch to hook viewers before moving into a weekly schedule.
Criminal Record Season 2 (April 22)
On April 22, 2026, Apple TV+ brings back Criminal Record for Season 2.
-
Release pattern: Weekly
