What to watch? A roundup of new titles to stream on Netflix, Max and more this upcoming week, April 22 to 28.

Meara covers streaming service news for CNET. She recently graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, where she wrote for her college newspaper, The Daily Texan, as well as for state and local magazines. When she’s not writing, she likes to dote over her cat, sip black coffee and try out new horror movies.

April is wrapping up, but the month has yet to fork over some noteworthy new movies and TV shows. This week’s slate includes Dead Boy Detectives, a Netflix series that pairs teen ghosts and mysteries and another round of the red echidna Knuckles at Paramount Plus. You can also look out for new episodes of X-Men ’97 on Disney Plus (Wednesday) and The Sympathizer on Max (Sunday). There’s also the season finale of Shōgun at Hulu (Tuesday).

While Netflix previously announced in a tweet that the Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell-led rom-com Anyone but You would debut on Tuesday, that post has since been deleted, and Netflix did not respond to CNET’s requests for more information. Though the week may or may not bring that romance, you can count on the following titles to fill your streaming calendar.
