April Is a Big Month for Ottawa Disney+ Subscribers
Ottawa streamers, clear your watch queues. Disney+ Canada is loading up April 2026 with some genuinely exciting new content, from prestige drama to a nostalgic TV revival and a fresh Star Wars story.
Disney has revealed the full April lineup for Canadian subscribers, and it's headlined by three major titles that have been generating buzz for months.
The Testaments: The Handmaid's Tale Sequel Finally Arrives
Arguably the most anticipated addition to Disney+ Canada this April is The Testaments, the sequel series to The Handmaid's Tale, based on Margaret Atwood's celebrated follow-up novel. Shot right here in Canada, with much of the production taking place in Toronto, the series is a point of national pride, and Canadian audiences have been eagerly awaiting its arrival on streaming.
For Ottawa viewers who've spent years following the story of Gilead, this is the one to mark on your calendar. Atwood's source material is beloved across the country, and a Canadian-shot production of her work feels particularly meaningful.
Star Wars: Maul, Shadow Lord
Star Wars fans in Ottawa have another reason to stay in this April: Star Wars: Maul. Shadow Lord is landing on Disney+. The project expands the story of one of the franchise's most visually iconic villains, Darth Maul, diving deeper into his rise through the criminal underworld. Expect high production values and plenty of lightsaber action for fans of the galaxy far, far away.
Malcolm in the Middle Is Back
For a dose of nostalgia, Life's Still Unfair, the long-awaited Malcolm in the Middle revival, is also coming to Disney+ Canada in April. The original series was a staple of early 2000s TV, and the revival reunites much of the original cast for a new chapter in the chaos of the Wilkerson family's life. Whether you watched it as a kid or are discovering it fresh, this one's a fun addition to the month.
What Else Is Coming in April
The Disney+ April slate also includes:
- Dear Killer Nannies (all episodes), dropping April 1
- Donna Hay Coastal Celebrations (all episodes), a lifestyle cooking series
- High Potential (Season 2, new episode), the hit drama continues
- O11CE: New: more episodes of the popular series
How Ottawa Viewers Can Make the Most of It
With a mix of drama, sci-fi, and comedy across the month, April is a great time to revisit or start your Disney+ subscription. The platform continues to be a strong value for Canadian households, especially with Canadian-produced content like The Testaments making it a genuinely local experience.
Ottawa residents can access Disney+ through the standard app on smart TVs, phones, and streaming sticks. New subscribers can check the Disney+ Canada website for current pricing and bundle options with Hulu and ESPN+.
April is shaping up to be one of the stronger months for Canadian Disney+ subscribers, set those reminders now.
