While this isn't the April most people had envisioned, the looming prospect of quarantining against the COVID-19 virus is something that, with the right attitude, could have entertaining components. Streaming services like Hulu are likely going to become even more valuable thanks to people staying at home and a healthy selection of entertaining titles should be important now more than ever.
In addition to the titles that are already online, there are a bunch of new and exciting movies and TV shows that are heading to streaming. So without further ado, here's what's new and exciting on the Hulu platform coming up in the month of April 2020.

From the TV end of things, new originals are coming online that further show off just how impressive Hulu's library has become, both on its own and with the new FX on Hulu banner of programming. It's the end of the line for cult comedy hit Future Man, as its third and final season is set to get crazy in April.
Meanwhile, FX is returning with two of its most critically acclaimed fan favorites. Season 4 of the anthology series Fargo will see Chris Rock making some mob moves in the 1950s south, in a role that Rock himself has praised as a dream opportunity. Iif you're curious as to what vampiric antics are to come in the world of What We Do In The Shadows, Season 2 returns with Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo, Colin, and of course Guillermo, all ready to take a bite out of what's next.
Lastly, if you happen to have an HBO or Showtime premium add-on subscription, you're going to be even happier about your investment in a Hulu subscription. The former channel offers the return of Issa Rae's series Insecure, which is back after a longer-than-usual hiatus. On Showtime's docket for April is the return of a horror series, as Penny Dreadful: City of Angels starts a brand new chapter in the world of spooky happenings underneath the surface of 1938 Los Angeles.
Of course, people cannot live on TV alone, which means the movie section of Hulu needs to sweeten the pot with something spectacular throughout the month of April. With the kids (likely) home from school, there are only so many times parents can watch Frozen 2 with the little ones. So another recent kids movie would be a real treat about now, which is why Dreamworks' Abominable is going to be a welcome arrival in the Hulu library.
What about the adults? Well, as luck would have it, there's two pretty big double features that can be enjoyed, with or without a premium add-on subscription. If you're just a subscriber of the base package for Hulu, you can watch both parts of Quentin Tarantino's masterful film Kill Bill in one sitting. Yes, that's right, one movie in two parts, all ready for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
However, if you're a Starz premium add-on subscriber, and you're a fan of the 2009 comedy Zombieland, you can quarantine yourself with a movie about a much worse scenario than the one we're currently enduring. The original film is available with Hulu, while its sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap, will be streaming after its early April debut through Starz. So, be sure you've got a robust supply of Twinkies before hitting play, because you know you'll need them.
Last, but not least, there's the welcome arrival of Academy Award winner Parasite, which will most assuredly please film fans who have, or have not, enjoyed that twisty thriller just yet. Go in as cold as you can, and prepare to understand a lot of the memes that spawned from the movie once you've enjoyed it yourself!
And there you have it. April's Hulu lineup has made itself known, and you're ready to enjoy a whole bunch of brand new TV and movie options; plus yet another installment of Into The Dark! But be warned, titles are subject to change and availability; so make sure to check this schedule carefully, in case something seems to have moved out of line. With that, we'll see you back here around this same time next month, to explore what May will bring to the Hulu catalog!
