April marks a turning point in the entertainment calendar, and Disney+ is making sure no one is left behind. With an intriguing mix of new seasons, global exclusives, and fan-favorite returns, the platform is delivering just the right kind of content to accompany those longer spring evenings. Leading the way are Andor season 2 and the much-anticipated return of Doctor Who, both landing with multiple episodes and massive fanfare.
While the film side may feel a bit quieter, titles like The Abyss 4K and Pets help round out the month with family-friendly offerings and nostalgic dives. Plus, new docuseries and reality TV specials promise to keep things fresh throughout the entire month.
The Big Guns: Andor, Doctor Who, and Daredevil Dominate
For many, April 2025 on Disney+ will be defined by just three shows. First up, Andor returns on April 22 in the US and April 23 in the UK and Australia with its season 2 premiere, delivering a triple-episode drop that throws us back into the gritty depths of the Star Wars rebellion. This arc picks up right where it left off and promises higher stakes, deeper espionage, and Diego Luna back in peak form.
Not to be outdone, Doctor Who kicks off its second Disney+ season on April 12 (US and Australia), with new episodes arriving every Saturday. Fans of the Time Lord can expect a bolder tone and more cinematic episodes under Russell T Davies’ creative guidance. Episode 1 will set the tone for what’s expected to be a heart-racing, multiverse-spanning season.
Meanwhile, Daredevil: Born Again continues its weekly roll-out with episodes 7 through 9 airing across the first half of April. The show has already stirred online buzz for its darker tone and a more introspective look at Matt Murdock. By mid-month, we’re expecting pivotal revelations that could redefine the character’s trajectory in the Marvel universe.
Global Offerings and Reality Favorites Return
Disney+ continues to play the global content card with shows like Gannibal and Hyper Knife, both airing new episodes weekly in the UK and Australia. These imports have carved out niche followings and contribute to the service’s broader international appeal.
April also sees the return of The Kardashians (season 5, episodes 19 and 20), Tracker season 2, and a fresh run of Grey’s Anatomy, which continues to break streaming records in the UK and Australia. Meanwhile, viewers in the US get a packed reality lineup including Secrets of the Penguins and To Catch a Smuggler season 8.
New shows debuting include David Blaine: Do Not Attempt, streaming worldwide from April 7 with episodes 5 and 6, and the US-exclusive An Oprah Winfrey Special: The Menopause Revolution, airing April 1. Doctor Odyssey, High Potential, and Buried Hearts continue their slow-burn drama arcs, adding a serialized richness to mid-week viewing.
For Kids, Documentary Buffs, and Nostalgic Viewers
Young viewers aren’t forgotten. Disney+ is adding large batches of episodes to animated series such as Robogobo, SuperKitties, Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends, and Mickey Mouse Funhouse. These drops provide hours of back-to-back content that’s perfect for family streaming.
Educational and documentary content is also strong this month. Highlights include Light & Magic season 2 premiering April 18, the visually stunning Guardians of the Galapagos (April 22), and Sea Lions of the Galapagos. National Parks: USA and Lost Treasure of Rome bolster the non-fiction catalog for US subscribers early in the month.
Rounding out April are high-quality re-releases like The Abyss 4K (April 11, US only) and quirky comedy specials like Jessica Kirson: I’m The Man debuting April 25 in the UK and Australia. It’s a reminder that Disney+ isn’t just for the mainstream hits—it caters to genre lovers, documentary fans, and even stand-up enthusiasts.
As April unfolds, Disney+ is making a strong case for being the streaming destination of choice, not just for franchise devotees, but for anyone craving variety and depth in their watchlist.
