JustWatch Streaming Charts: April 2026

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 film 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 in various regions – select the streaming services they are interested in and get recommendations based on their preferences and searches. Consumers can then use the JustWatch apps available for their Smart TV, streaming device, smartphone or tablet so as to always have new suggestions available on what’s hot 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 the Top Ten Movies chart one can tell that consumer interest has finally started moving on from this year’s Oscars winners or nominees, as most entries belong to streaming services now. The Devil Wears Prada is predictably back in fashion ahead of its successor’s theatrical release, action thrillers like Crime 101 and The Running Man are in line with what summer blockbusters traditionally offer… but the weird and wonderful Bugonia somehow remains on people’s radar half a year after it left cinemas. Will it outlast The Substance as the longest chart resident in recent memory? Unlikely, but… not impossible either.

Things were more predictable than last month in terms of TV shows: the latest seasons of The Pitt, Paradise, Shrinking, The Boys, Euphoria and From got a spot, but at least the brilliant Your Friends and Neighbors is back… balancing things out, somewhat? On the flip side, all three new entries – Big Mistakes, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen and Margo’s Got Money Troubles – are worth a watch, which is both unusual and encouraging. Will May be able to bring more balance to the Force guiding the production of modern TV shows? If only!
