JustWatch Streaming Charts: April 2025

Movie and TV show fans have never had it so good when it comes to the content options available for the consumer market: there are currently more than a dozen different streaming services delivering all kinds of movies or series straight to their TV sets, literally at the touch of a button. With that amount of new content being released every month, though, which films or TV shows are more likely to be worth each viewer’s precious time? Which movies or series are most people interested in knowing about?

That’s where JustWatch comes in. It’s a Web service designed to collect and present information on every movie or TV show featured in practically all streaming services operating around the world today, in one place. Visitors can create a free account, pick their country of residence – content is often different or even unavailable in various regions – define the streaming services they are interested in and get recommendations based on their preferences and searches. Consumers can then use the free JustWatch apps available for their Smart TV, streaming device, smartphone or tablet in order to always have new suggestions available on what’s hot and recommended on every streaming platform.

Based on user interest – as dictated by searches and recommendations – JustWatch is able to put together Top Ten charts of movies and TV shows across all streaming services operating in each country, every month. These are the films that consumers in the United States have been more interested in over the past few weeks.

Based on the same information, these are the TV shows that consumers in the United States have shown the most interest in over the same period of time.

Taking a look at these charts it’s plain to see that the 97th Academy Awards – just as it happened last month – continued to have an impact on what consumers watched and searched for in April (the recent digital release of a few nominees was obviously not coincidental). A number of spots in this film Top 10 feature productions that either contended for or claimed an Academy Award in one or multiple categories – but there were still a couple of unexpected entries. The outlier here is obviously The Accountant, which many people probably checked out in anticipation of The Accountant 2‘s theatrical release.

When it comes to TV shows, though, it was largely business as usual: established series such as Severance, The White Lotus and Black Mirror all claimed a slot in April’s chart, but notable new hopefuls such as Mobland, The Studio and Your Friends and Neighbors managed to attract enough attention too. Adolescence is still working for Netflix, as is The Pitt for Max, but one can expect things to be look quite different in May’s chart – especially now that The Last of Us and Andor are back with their second seasons. Should be interesting, no?
