Peacock's streaming lineup is fairly straightforward for April, with a nice spread of good movies coming to the platform at the beginning of the month. There aren't any really big new releases like we saw in March (Wicked: For Good, Ted Season 2), but there's definitely some highlights worth pointing out if you're hoping to make the most of your Premium subscription.
Starting on April 1, the first three Kung Fu Panda movies are returning to Peacock after some time away. There's also a slew of popular comedies hitting the service in April, including 21 Jump Street, Wayne's World, and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. And for action fans, the Blade Trilogy is finally returning to streaming this month.

Highlight: The Blade Trilogy
Although Marvel's upcoming Blade movie has been continually delayed, the original trilogy is still right there ripe for the watching. After Wesley Snipes' cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, the films have mostly only been available to rent or buy digitally. The trilogy returning to a streaming service is worthy of a movie marathon celebration.

Highlight: Five Nights at Freddy's 2
Based on the popular horror video game series, Five Nights at Freddy's did well enough at the box office to get a second movie. The sequel follows Mike and Abby one year after the events of the first film and is a must-watch if you already saw Five Night's at Freddy's. You can check out IGN's review of the film for our thoughts on it.

Highlight: Piece By Piece
Piece By Piece is a documentary about Pharell Williams that just so happens to through the lens of LEGO. Every character is a minifigure surrounded by a LEGO world. Although the documentary was a flop at the box office, it was widely praised critically. IGN's own 8 out of 10 review calls it a "near-perfect handshake of musical subject and visual form."

Highlight: Nosferatu
If you haven't already seen Robert Egger's version of Nosferatu, April is the time to do so. It's a dark and brooding remake of the 1922 silent film of the same name. IGN praised the film in our 9 out of 10 review, saying: "Nosferatu is Robert Eggers' finest work, given how it both boldly stands on its own as a gothic vampire drama and astutely taps into the original texts — F.W. Murnau's silent classic and Bram Stoker's novel Dracula."

April 26

Peacock Plans and Prices
If you don't already have a Peacock Premium subscription, there are a few different options available to you. For savings, I'd recommend sticking with one of the Apple TV and Peacock Premium bundles. This will get you both services at a decent discount, which opens up the full library of Apple TV Originals. You can also get access to Peacock via a Walmart+ subscription, which is a great option for those looking for additional savings via shopping benefits.
Although Peacock does not have a free trial available, you can still get the service via the Walmart+ free trial. New subscribers get 30 days free and that includes either a Peacock Premium or Paramount+ subscription.
