Top 5 New Movies to Stream on Netflix, HBO Max, Peacock, and More (April 7-13)

This week’s lineup of new movies on streaming services is here, and while it may not be the busiest week for new arrivals in 2026, there are still some exciting additions to look forward to on platforms like Netflix and HBO Max.

One of the highlights this week is Netflix’s new shark-infested survival thriller called “Thrash,” starring Phoebe Dynevor from “Bridgerton.” The movie follows a coastal town facing a storm that brings ocean predators into the community. HBO Max offers a sports biopic to get your heart racing, while Peacock delivers a drama set in Amsterdam, testing a long-term couple with new challenges.

I’ve compiled a list of the most noteworthy new movies across streaming services to save you the hassle of endless scrolling. And don’t miss out on our companion article featuring the top new TV shows to watch this week.

On the premium video-on-demand (PVOD) front, this week’s highlights include “The Bride!” and “Psycho Killer.” While I’m not convinced either is a must-watch, “The Bride!” at least has a decent 70% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes. This comedic twist on Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” stars a talented cast and is set in 1930s Chicago. The story follows a resurrected young woman embarking on a journey with Frankenstein’s monster. Just be prepared for some inconsistent tone and hit-and-miss comedy.

Another PVOD option worth checking out is “Epic: Elvis Presley in Concert,” featuring never-before-seen footage of the legendary icon during his prime. This unearthed footage, discovered during the production of an Elvis biopic, required extensive restoration and offers fans a unique glimpse into the King of Rock ‘n Roll’s performances.
