What's Streaming This Weekend

 

This weekend, April 24–26, 2026, brings one of the most exciting OTT slates of the month. From Timothée Chalamet's first major biographical drama to Charlize Theron's survival thriller, a Korean horror phenomenon, and the Indian adaptation of the iconic series 24 — streaming across Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, JioHotstar, ZEE5, and Lionsgate Play this weekend.

 

Whether you are in the mood for heart-pounding action, a feel-good romantic comedy, or a political thriller, this weekend's lineup delivers. Here is your ultimate guide to every major release dropping today through Sunday — with where to watch them and how to save on your subscriptions via magicpin.

 

 

Marty Supreme

Release Date: April 24  |  Platform: Amazon Prime Video  |  Genre: Biographical Drama / Sports

 

 

Timothée Chalamet takes on the role of Marty Reisman, the legendary American table tennis player known as "The Needle" for his razor-sharp reflexes on the ping-pong table. Set in the 1950s, the film follows Marty Mauser (fictionalized version) as he navigates a high-stakes world of hustlers, championships, and morally complicated personal choices in pursuit of greatness.

 

The film is directed by Josh Safdie (co-director of Uncut Gems) and marks a tonal shift from his previous work — less manic, more emotionally grounded. Early reactions from test screenings have praised Chalamet's physical transformation and the film's stylized recreation of 1950s New York's underground ping-pong scene. At its core, this is a story about ambition, sacrifice, and what it costs to be the best at something that most people treat as a party trick.

 

If you are a fan of sports dramas that focus more on the person than the sport — think Molly's Game or The Founder — this one is essential viewing this weekend.

 

Apex

Release Date: April 24  |  Platform: Netflix  |  Genre: Survival Thriller

 

 

Charlize Theron plays Sasha, a grieving climber who retreats into the wilderness seeking solitude after a personal tragedy. What she finds instead is something far more terrifying: a ruthless predator hunting her through unforgiving terrain, played with chilling intensity by Taron Egerton. What begins as an escape becomes a desperate game of survival, with Sasha forced to rely on every ounce of skill and instinct she possesses.

 

Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest, The Deep), Apex uses its mountainous landscape as both a visual spectacle and an antagonist — avalanches, crevasses, and altitude sickness are as threatening as the predator himself. Theron reportedly did her own climbing stunts, training for months to sell the physicality of the role. The predator-vs-prey dynamic flips more than once, and the film never settles into what you expect from a standard survival thriller.

 

This is one for the big screen — or at least the biggest TV you own. If you loved The Revenant or Bird Box, add Apex to your weekend watchlist immediately.

 

 

Greenland 2: Migration

Release Date: April 24  |  Platform: Lionsgate Play / Amazon Prime Video  |  Genre: Action / Survival Drama

 

 

Gerard Butler returns as John Garrity in this long-awaited sequel to the 2020 disaster hit. Set five years after a catastrophic comet event devastated the planet, the Garrity family is forced to leave their bunker when it becomes uninhabitable. Their journey across a ravaged Europe — dodging natural disasters, desperate survivors, and crumbling infrastructure — forms the backbone of this survival epic.

 

Director Ric Roman Waugh (Greenland, Angel Has Fallen) expands the scope significantly, trading the claustrophobic bunker setting for a wide-open road-movie-through-ruins format. The sequel leans harder into family dynamics, asking what people are willing to sacrifice for the people they love when civilisation has collapsed. Butler's everyman-hero performance remains the anchor, but it's the supporting cast — including Morena Baccarin returning as his wife — that gives the film its emotional weight.

 

If the first film worked for you, Migration is a worthy follow-up that understands what made the original special: ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

 

24 — Indian Adaptation (Season 1)

Release Date: April 24  |  Platform: JioHotstar  |  Genre: Action / Thriller

 

 

Anil Kapoor steps into the role of Jai Singh Rathod, chief of the Anti-Terrorism Unit (ATU), in this Indian adaptation of the globally acclaimed series 24. The high-octane narrative follows a single day in real time as Rathod races against the clock to prevent an assassination plot targeting the Prime Minister-elect — while simultaneously trying to rescue his kidnapped daughter.

 

The original Indian 24 ran for two seasons in 2013–2014 and developed a cult following. This new version, produced by Anil Kapoor Films & Communication Network, reboots the franchise with contemporary stakes, upgraded production values, and a fresh cast alongside Kapoor. The split-screen storytelling style that made the original iconic is back, and early promos suggest the action choreography has been significantly elevated.

 

If you are a fan of the Kiefer Sutherland original or just love high-stakes political thrillers, this reboot deserves your attention. The real-time format means every episode ends with a cliffhanger — plan your binge accordingly.

 

Band Melam

Release Date: April 24  |  Platform: ZEE5  |  Genre: Telugu Musical Romantic Drama

 

 

A heartfelt Telugu romantic drama, Band Melam tells the story of childhood friends Giri and Raaji, who are separated by misunderstandings and life choices. Years later, fate brings them back together — but emotional baggage, family pressures, and societal expectations complicate their reunion. The film's title references the musical band that forms the backdrop of their shared childhood, and the soundtrack is already generating buzz in Telugu music circles.

 

This is a warm, emotionally intelligent film for anyone who appreciates regional Indian cinema at its most sincere.

 

If Wishes Could Kill

Release Date: April 24  |  Platform: Netflix  |  Genre: Korean Teen Horror

 

 

A chilling South Korean teen horror set in Seorin High School, where students stumble upon a mysterious app named Girigo. The app grants their deepest desires — but each wish comes with a deadly price: a countdown to their death. As panic spreads across the school, students must work together to uncover the app's origin and stop the curse before it consumes them all.

 

Korean horror has been on an absolute roll, and If Wishes Could Kill looks like it captures the same social-commentary-through-horror energy that made All of Us Are Dead and The Wailing global hits. This one is best watched with friends and the lights off.

 

Prathichaya

Release Date: April 24  |  Platform: JioHotstar  |  Genre: Malayalam Political Drama

 

 

A young entrepreneur steps into the unpredictable world of Kerala politics to defend his father's reputation in Prathichaya. What follows is a gripping exploration of power, media manipulation, and the personal cost of public life. Malayalam cinema's current golden run means this one has already generated strong pre-release interest among regional OTT audiences.
