Black Mirror Season 7 (April 10) – An executive at a chocolate company reunites with an old school friend at a tasting session that gets weird. An A-list actress becomes trapped in an all-too-real remake of a vintage romantic movie. Police arrest an eccentric loner obsessed with a ’90s video game; his interrogation for a grisly cold case goes to places they weren’t expecting. “USS Callister: Into Infinity” is the show’s first sequel episode that will see the original cast reprise their roles as the crew of the imperiled ship.

“We’re doing some things we’ve not done before,” series creator Charlie Brooker revealed to Deadline last year. “People can expect quite a lot of emotion and, hopefully, a good mix of chills. … The episodes are all, in a way, like OG Black Mirror. There’s also techy episodes and ones that are making people cry. So hopefully it’s a full emotional workout.”

You Season 5 (April 24) – In the final season of You, brooding obsessive Joe Goldberg returns to New York – and Mooney’s bookstore from season 1 – to start a new life with wife Kate, untilhis own dark impulses and vengeful figures from his past threaten his perfect plans. The season explores the question of whether Joe can truly create a new persona and future for himself, or if his past will inevitably catch up to him. Will he finally face justice, or can the wily con give his pursuers (and the consequences of his actions) one last slip?

Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror (April 18) – On the eve of the attack’s 30^th anniversary, filmmaker Greg Tillman and the producers of Waco: American Apocalypse offer a breathless, moment-by-moment account of the 1995 bombing that claimed 168 lives inside the Alfred P.

Firsthand accounts from survivors, first responders and law enforcement, and audio interviews with bomber Timothy McVeigh capture the chaos, shock, and acts of courage that unfolded in the wake of the deadly attack. The documentary retraces the investigation that brought McVeigh and his co-conspirators to justice, while exploring the personal demons driving his radical agenda.

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 (April 8) – Almost three years after season five ended, the final chapter of June’s journey is finally unfolding as she fights to take down Gilead. Luke and Moira join the growing resistance as Serena attempts to reform Gilead, Nick is squeezed by Gilead’s iron fist, and Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia face their comeuppance as revolution looms. Fans can expect a different ending than the book’s ambiguous conclusion where anonymous figures take June away in a van. “We are ending our show on our own creative terms,” showrunner Bruce Miller told Entertainment Weekly way back in 2022. There’s no real question whether June will escape Gilead or be dragged into its bowels forever: it’s become a modern political allegory loaded with real-world social parallels, and fans will accept nothing less than June smashing the system.

The Stolen Girl (April 17) – Mother of two Elisa’s world shatters when her 9-year-old daughter goes to a sleepover at her new best friend’s house, and abruptly vanishes. As an urgent manhunt unfolds across Europe, Elisa and her husband find themselves the object of police and public scrutiny. Their perfect family begins to unravel under the pressure, and long-buried secrets and darkly tangled lives come to light. As the tense thriller’s tagline reads, “the question isn’t who… it’s why.”

Got to Get Out (April 11) – Simu Liu (Last Breath) hosts a game show that answers the bold question, “what if we filmed the Stanford prison experiment in a mansion with reality stars?” Ten reality TV sorta-lebrities and ten crafty gamers are locked in a mansion for 10 days while they compete in a series of challenges for cash. They can split the pot equally in the end or try to escape at any point with the prize money all for themselves, leaving the others broke. Human nature ensues as contestants turn into paranoid prison guards, concoct elaborate escape plans, and proverbially shank each other in the back at every turn.
