April showers bring more than just flowers this spring, as Disney Plus serves up a new lineup to ring in the warm weather. There's plenty to look forward to, especially when you're forced indoors while it rains like cats and dogs outside.

Leading the charge is "Andor" season 2, with the conclusion to Cassian's transformation from bystander to Rebel Alliance hero. This critically acclaimed "Star Wars" prequel intensifies as war looms on the horizon, with drama that will bridge directly to the events of "Rogue One."

Need something cute and wholesome? "Pets" offers a perfect palate cleanser, exploring the bonds between humans and their animal relationships.

Science fiction fans have reason to celebrate with the latest "Doctor Who" season as well, where the Doctor meets Belinda Chandra and faces mysterious forces preventing their return to Earth.

Below, check out everything coming to Disney Plus in April.

'Pets'

Watch On

This heartwarming (and super adorable) documentary examines the special bond between humans and their animal friends — from more traditional pets like dogs and cats to other more unusual animals like pigs, goats, and raptors.

The doc looks to give plenty of those touching moments and plenty of reasons to smile while you're watching, but be sure to grab the tissues as it explores loss, grief, and how special these animal besties can be to us. If you love your animals, you'll want to check out "Pets."

'Doctor Who' season 2

The latest iteration of "Doctor Who" continues with its second season. The Doctor encounters Belinda Chandra and embarks on what should be a straightforward mission to bring her back to Earth. But things quickly get complicated when an enigmatic power prevents their safe passage home.

The scrappy TARDIS crew will, of course, face additional obstacles, bigger alien threats, and plenty more weirdness in this follow-up to the previous season that throws everything you thought you knew about the Whoniverse out of the window.

The story continues exploring the path that ultimately leads Cassian and his fellow rebels to their fateful mission to steal the Death Star plans, connecting directly to the events that sparked the original "Star Wars" film. The first three episodes debut first, with additional premieres weekly.
