Netflix is loading up its April 8-14 slate with several exclusive new arrivals, led by the return of Temptation Island season 2 on April 10, 2026. The reality dating show drops in full, putting four supposedly committed couples back under pressure in a picturesque tropical setting.
Each pair is separated for two weeks and sent to live among a group of attractive singletons, then asked to decide whether to recommit to the relationship or split up for good. The setup is built for fractures, and this season lands as Netflix keeps leaning hard on original programming that can only be watched on its platform.
That push stretches beyond dating drama. Thrash, a survival thriller starring Phoebe Dynevor as pregnant Lisa Fields, joins the lineup alongside Whitney Peak and Djimon Hounsou. The film centers on a small coastal town after a Category 5 hurricane, where lethal sharks become part of the danger left behind.

Netflix has already found an audience for that kind of disaster edge. The streamer had success with the 2024 shark thriller Under Paris, and Thrash looks set to test whether that appetite still holds. Dynevor brings a recognizable name after earlier turns in the first two seasons of Bridgerton and in Fair Play, giving the film a lead with some pull beyond the genre crowd.
Also arriving is Noah Kahan: Out of Body, a documentary on the singer who has been building his career since his debut album in 2019. The film follows Kahan back to his Vermont roots and into family connections that helped shape him, arriving after the 2022 album Stick Season sent him into the mainstream.

For Netflix, the week is less a one-off than another reminder of how aggressively the company is using originals to keep viewers inside its own walls. The question is not whether the platform has something to watch next week; it does. It is whether these homegrown bets can keep delivering the kind of attention that turns a crowded release calendar into a reason to stay subscribed.
