It’s raining content this April on Max, as several exciting new shows and movies make their debut. For example, Emmy-winner Sandra Oh and recent Oscar-winner Robert Downey Jr. team up for a new exciting drama, The Sympathizer. Plus, for 90 Day fans, 90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise is back with a new season. Oh, and things may get a bit magical when a certain wizard and his films make their way to the platform.

There’s a lot more coming to Max, and below we have a complete list of everything new. But first, here are some recommendations.

Best TV show on Max in April: The Sympathizer (April 14)

The Sympathizer is based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name and follows the story of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy at the tail end of the Vietnam War as he transitions into his new life as a refugee in Los Angeles. Featuring Sandra Oh and Robert Downey Jr., the drama has a lot of potential to be a must-watch event. 

If you’re more interested in the unscripted variety, 90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise season 4 and the docuseries The Jinx — Part Two also debut this month. 

Best movie on Max in April: The Zone of Interest (April 5)

The 2024 Oscar winner for Best International Feature Film is making its streaming debut, and that’s great news for those who didn’t see it in theaters. The Zone of Interest is loosely based on Martin Amis’ 2014 novel, and it shows the journey of a commandant of Auschwitz and his wife as they try to make a "dream life" for their family next to a concentration camp. There’s a lot to unpack there, but the film has earned rave reviews, including from WTW, and currently has a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. 

On a more magical note, all of the Harry Potter movies also become available to stream this month on Max.

Although the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament is widely known as March Madness, fans know that the sporting event continues on into April with the Final Four matchups (on April 6) and the Championship game (on April 8). 

Also this month, the NBA launches into tournament mode as the Play-in Games occur on April 16 and 19, and the first official round of the NBA playoffs tips off on April 21.
