'Kevin'

Created by Joe Wengert and Aubrey Plaza and loosely based on a real-life break-up, "Kevin" is a humorous and heartwarming new animated series centered on a pampered housecat (voiced by Jason Schwartzman) who finds himself left behind when his human owners unexpectedly split.

The titular feline soon finds himself at a chaotic local pet rescue in Astoria, Queens, where he encounters a motley crew of misfit animals (portrayed by the starry likes of John Water, Whoopi Goldberg and Amy Sedaris), who help him figure out what he really wants out of life. That voice cast is already exciting enough, but the eight-episode series — which premiered on the streamer on April 20 — also features guest spots by Quinta Brunson, Charles Melton, Addison Rae, Tig Notaro and Patti LuPone.

Brazil's answer to "Breaking Bad," "New Bandits" — known as "Cangaço Novo" in its mother country — returns to Prime Video on Friday, April 24 for a second round of organized crime, ruthless politics, family trauma and high-stakes robberies.

Picking up after the death of Ernesto (Ricardo Blat), the South American series finds siblings Ubaldo (Allan Souza Lima), Dinorah (Alice Carvalho) and Dilvânia Vaqueiro (Thainá Duarte) in a brutal war against the Maleiros for control of Cratará, bringing even more dangerous challenges into the family as they fight to protect their land and their people. "At the violence's peak, the family discovers that survival may require sacrifices that could change their lives forever," reads the season's official synopsis.

'From'

Watch On

This is an extra-timely one, as the first season of this stellar sci-fi horror series is set to leave the Prime Video platform at the end of the month and its fourth season (which is available to stream with an MGM+ add-on subscription) just dropped its premiere episode on April 19.

In case you missed it, "From" is centered on "a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter," per the official synopsis. "As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down."

The mysteries spookily continue in season 4, but as the townsfolk — led by sheriff Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau) — get closer to the answers they’re desperate for, they have to deal with the dangerous consequences of what they discover. Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey, Hannah Cheramy and Ricky He also star.
