Spring has officially sprung! But, with the advent of streaming, the garden of TV has always been in bloom (for lack of a better term). No matter the month, there always seems to be some show that's on the horizon, ready to keep our eyes glued to the screen as we stay inside to avoid myriad allergy attacks. And, this upcoming month, I've got an eye on a handful of things, from the final seasons of The Boys and Hacks to highly-anticipated returns of Euphoria and Beef to Malcolm in the Middle's revival over 20 years in the making.Here are the top 5 shows I'm most excited for in April 2026 across broadcast TV, Netflix, Prime Video and more.

The Top 5 TV Shows Premiering in April 2026
The Boys Season 5 (April 8)

What exactly is The Boys at its core? A send-up of superhero culture when it was at its mainstream peak? A commentary on the push and pull between celebrities and corporations? A thinly veiled satire of a certain Commander-in-Chief. Much like Homelander (Antony Starr), the hit Prime Video series' power set seems to be all of the above.The final season of Eric Kripke's show kicks off with the titular "supe" resistance force in dire straits. The megalomaniacal Homelander has essentially been given unlimited control, and former leader Butcher (Karl Urban) has gone rogue, holding a deadly biological weapon that could wipe out anyone with powers. Considering the dark and incredibly graphic nature of The Boys up to this point, we're bound to lose at least a few of the teeming ensemble cast by the time things are said and done. And, with the first two of the final eight episodes dropping on April 8, we shall see if they choose to start things off with a bang (and hopefully in not a "Herogasm"-esque way).

Hacks Season 5 (April 9)

The trajectory of Hacks is not dissimilar to one of an up-and-coming comic. Serving as one of the debut scripted series for nubile streaming service HBO Max in 2021, the comedy show quickly caught fire, gaining immediate critical acclaim. And the hype behind the adventures of Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) hasn't died down, with the show and its stars picking up well-deserved Emmy wins (including four straight awards for Smart).Sadly, all good sets must come to an end. And so Hacks is finishing, appropriately, with a "tight five," with the final season premiering April 9. Season 4 had Deborah arguably hitting her lowest point, quitting her late-night show and running away to Singapore. But, after reading a false obituary, she's eager to bring her career — and herself — back from the dead. No matter where she and Ava end up by season's end, Hacks fans should be in store for plenty of cameos, including a number of famous faces playing fictional versions of themselves.

Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair (April 10)

Before Bryan Cranston was running through the New Mexican desert in his briefs on Breaking Bad, he was standing in the kitchen in his tightie-whities, getting his back shaved. Malcolm in the Middle was a key part of FOX's powerhouse comedy line-up in the early 2000s, becoming one of the first single-camera sitcoms that didn't make use of a laugh track or a studio audience. Instead, we were brought intimately into the home of a house teeming with testosterone as dysfunction, as Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) talked through the trial and tribulations of being the black sheep of the family.Now, after nearly 20 years away, the family is back with a whole new generation of shenanigans. Nearly all the stars of the original series are reprising their roles, including Muniz, Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Justin Berfield and Christopher Masterson. Not to mention now Malcolm is in the middle of two different levels of the family tree, as he's now trying to take care of his own daughter, Leah (Keeley Karsten), who's showing way too many of her father's neurotic tendencies. With all four episodes dropping on April 10, it's the latest sitcom to re-emerge in the 2020s, trying to both update its comedy for the modern age while reminding us what made it a classic in the first place.

Euphoria Season 3 (April 12)

Here's everything that has happened since Euphoria was last on the air. Zendaya continued to see box office success with Dune Part Two and Challengers, and both got engaged to and secretly married Tom Holland. Sydney Sweeney became a movie star in her own right and has been quite the talk of the town — for better or worse. After winning an Emmy for his performance as Ali, Colman Domingo received two Oscar nominations in a row. And creator Sam Levinson attempted another HBO project with the critically-panned The Idol.Indeed, as the years went on, and the star power of the cast began to rise, there was considerable discourse as to whether Euphoria would ever return for Season 3. And, at long last, school is back in session for Rue and company. Not literally, as it seems the new batch of episodes will be moving away from its academic setting. And it won't be without some losses, namely the absence of cast members like Angus Cloud, Barbie Ferreira and Storm Reid. But regardless of the number of teens we see on screen, they will surely be troubled, and we'll be along for every moment of one of the wildest rides on HBO today.

Beef Season 2 (April 16)

Beef was one of the meatiest shows when it debuted in 2023. While the series was fueled by the deep-seated anger between Danny (Steven Yeun) and Amy (Ali Wong), smiles were abound as the show picked up massive acclaim and Emmys for both of its stars, as well as creator Lee Sung Jin. And now it's time to serve up more petty grievances for another helping of Beef.Season 2, airing in its entirety on April 16, goes the full anthology route. This time, we're taken to the inner workings of a Korean country club, as a young couple coincidentally bears witness to a frightening argument between their boss and his wife. Yeun and Wong are out, as Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny step into the proverbial slaughterhouse, in a set of performances that are sure to be far from lean.
