It’s a new month on Amazon Prime Video and its free ad-supported sibling Freevee which means both streaming services are being refreshed with a new slate of content for April 2024. 

This month includes plenty of unmissable movies and binge-worthy TV shows. And, unlike some of its biggest streaming rivals, Prime also offers a selection of live sports including some big matchups in the National Women’s Soccer League. 

The headliner this month is unquestionably “Fallout”, Prime Video’s small-screen adaptation of the popular post-apocalyptic RPG video game franchise. It’s set to be a zany trip through an irradiated wasteland as a sheltered survivor goes searching for her missing father. All eight episodes drop on Prime Video on April 11.

Plus, if you’re planning a movie night in April you’ll want to keep your Prime subscription active as the platform offers original flicks “Música” and “How to Date Billy Walsh”, alongside the Oscar-winning comedy “The Holdovers”, which was one of my favorite movies of 2023. 

These are just the start of the new content arriving this month, so let’s dive into everything new on Prime Video and Freevee in April 2024, as well as some top picks.  

New on Prime Video in April 2024: Top picks

'Música'

“Música” is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy from Rudy Mancuso. The movie marks Mancuso's feature film directional debut, and the online musician also co-wrote the flick. It follows an aspiring creator struggling with synesthesia, a phenomenon that causes sensory overload, as they attempt to navigate the pressures of love, family and their Brazilian heritage in Newark, New Jersey. This could be a breakout Prime Video success story based on the joyful trailer.

‘How to Date Billy Walsh’ 

A vibrant and whimsical teenage rom-com, ‘How to Date Billy Walsh’ centers on two childhood best friends, Amelia (Charithra Chandran) and Archie (Sebastian Croft). Rather predictably, Archie is actually secretly in love with his best pal, but just when he’s about to pluck up the nerve to confess his true feelings, an American transfer student, Billy Walsh (Tanner Buchanan), arrives on the scene and catch’s Amelia’s eye. Determined to keep the two apart, Archie goes to great lengths to sabotage their blossoming romance, but in the process may lose his closest friend.

‘Fallout’ 

Based on the best-selling RPG game series of the same name, “Fallout” is a sci-fi drama set in a retrofuture world devastated by a nuclear war. Centuries later, the irradiated wasteland has become a lawless place, while a few lucky survivors live underground in sealed bunkers known as vaults. But when Lucy (Ella Purnell) is forced to leave the safety of her vault to find her missing father, she emerges into a post-apocalyptic L.A. teeming with dangerous wanders and wastelanders. We’re in golden age of gaming adaptations, so hopefully “Fallout” can continue that streak.

‘THEM: The Scare’

“THEM” is a horror anthology series which means new characters and a new story for this second season. While the L.A. setting remains a constant, this time the show moves forward to 1991 ("THEM: Covenant" was set in the 1950s), and follows LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve as she investigates the brutal murder of a foster home mother, but as Dawn gets closer to the truth, something malevolent takes hold and threats not just her own life, but her families as well. Deborah Ayorinde, who played the lead role in the first season, returns as new protagonist Dawn, alongside a fresh cast that includes Pam Grier, Luke James and Joshua J. Williams.

‘The Holdovers’ 

Set in a posh New England prep school, Paul Giamatti plays a very curmudgeonly professor forced to remain on campus over the holiday to chaperone the students with nowhere to go. Unexpectedly, he find himself bonding with a trouble burnout (Dominic Sessa) and the two share a memorable holiday season together as they foster a genuine friendship and confide in each other. This Alexander Payne movie was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, and won best Supporting Actress for Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s powerful performance as the school’s cook. “The Holdovers” is hilarious and heartfelt and a certifiable must-watch movie.
