Each month, Apple releases exclusive shows and movies featuring some of Hollywood’s most in-demand talent, and we keep you up to date with all of it with this roundup.
This April, Jon Hamm and David Oyelowo take center stage, starring in Your Friends and Neighbors and Government Cheese, respectively. But that’s just the start of what’s new on Apple TV+ this month.

Our top picks for April
Your Friends & Neighbors (2025)
In a plot line with some coincidental similarities to this season of Max’s The White Lotus, Your Friends and Neighbors stars Jon Hamm as a financial titan who suddenly finds himself divorced, jobless, and in over his head. To keep his lifestyle afloat, he begins robbing his wealthy neighbors’ homes.
He soon discovers that not only does he have a natural knack for larceny, but he loves the thrill of stealing from his social circle. But, as you might expect, he soon finds himself entangled in serious complications.
Government Cheese (2025)
Set in 1969, Government Cheese follows Hampton Chambers (David Oyelowo), a man who is released from jail and returns home to his wife (Simone Missick) and sons (Evan Ellison and Jahi Di’Allo Winston).
Rather than be thrilled by the reunion, however, the family finds Hampton’s presence a disruption. Trying to win back his family and fend off his criminal past, Hampton counts on some divine intervention in this dramedy series.

Last month’s top picks
The Studio (2025)
One of the year’s most anticipated new shows, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg created this grounded satire of Hollywood life. Rogen plays Matt Remick, the new head of struggling Continental Studios, who is caught in the middle of juggling corporate demands and pandering to the celebrities (playing themselves) who make the studios money.
Constantly torn apart by internal conflicts and the petulant attitudes of industry players, Remick nonetheless shamelessly attempts to keep everybody happy.
Dope Thief (2025)
However, what they think is a small score turns out to be anything but. They’ve just ripped off one of the biggest narcotics operations on the East Coast, and the bosses cannot let that stand.
