April 2025 is bringing plenty of exciting new shows, movies, and events to Peacock! Whether you’re into thrilling dramas, comedies, or family-friendly content, there’s something for everyone. In this article, we’ll take a look at all the fresh titles you can enjoy next month on the streaming service. Get ready for some great entertainment!

1. Girl You Know It’s True (April 4)

Girl You Know It’s True (2023) is a film that tells the story of dancers Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, who gained fame in the late 80s as the pop duo Milli Vanilli. Despite their success, the duo never actually sang on their songs or debut album.

When the truth about their lip-syncing was exposed, it led to one of the biggest scandals in music history. The film is directed and written by Simon Verhoeven and stars Tijan Njie, Elan Ben Ali, and Matthias Schweighöfer.

Katt Williams, a stand-up comedian known for his bold humor and controversial statements, has made headlines not only for his comedy but also for claims about his intelligence. In a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast (#2111), Williams claimed to have an Iq of 163, putting him at the genius level. But is there any truth to this wild claim, or is it just another part of his enigmatic persona?

Williams’s claim of having an Iq of 163 immediately sparked interest and skepticism. To put this in perspective, an Iq score of 160 and above is considered genius, comparable to that of renowned physicists and mathematicians. Along with this claim, Katt Williams has mentioned other impressive feats of intelligence, such as being able to read fluently by the age of three and having read over 3,000 books in his lifetime.

Laughter is often touted as the best medicine, but for Katt Williams, it’s been both a cure and a conundrum. His career is a wild ride, packed with hilarious moments and enough drama to make even the most veteran gossip columnist raise an eyebrow. Born Micah Williams in Ohio, the stand-up comedian-actor, 53, has become a household name, not just for his sharp comedic genius, but also for the myriad scandals that have punctuated his journey.

So, let’s take a plunge into the topsy-turvy life of this multi-faceted celebrity who has kept audiences in stitches while battling his own inner demons.

The Early Years of Katt Williams

Katt Williams’ foray into comedy was anything but ordinary. At just 13, he packed his bags and hit the road, leaving home after emancipating himself from his parents (via New York Post). He made his way to sunny Florida,...

During his Acting My Tour last month, Kevin Hart touched on his years-long feud with Michael Jordan, which he first addressed back in 2016. However, this isn’t the lone high-profile beef Hart has found himself in the last ten years, as he also exchanged jabs with Katt Williams.

While it kickstarted back in 2014 when the Norbit star took shots at Hart, things de-escalated between them back in 2016, when Williams came forward to apologize for his comments, However, it didn’t take long for the beef to reignite, and recently, Hart has broken his silence on it.

Guest host Niecy Nash dropped a bombshell on “The Masked Singer” Wednesday night when she announced that she alone would decide which singer in the Group B finals would be unmasked. Shocking panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger, Niecy eliminated the latest wild card contestant, the Bulldog. When the gold-covered pup pulled off his mask, he revealed himself to be none other than comedian, rapper and host with the most, Nick Cannon!

“I dedicated my whole performance to you and you’re gonna kick me off?” Nick joked during his unmasked interview with his temporary replacement. “Niecy, first and foremost, let me say I dedicated my performance to you because you truly are a queen. And you stepping in for me during my sickness and during a hard time for me, and being able to watch you do your thing amazingly and shine here. I truly do thank you.

It’s happening. It’s finally happening. What was once a particularly pervasive and aggressive Internet meme is now a reality. HBO Max’s list of new releases for March 2021 is highlighted by none other than the mythical Snyder cut.

The entity now known as Zach Snyder’s Justice League will premiere on March 18. While it was originally planned to be a four-part miniseries, this recut version of 2017’s ill-fated Justice League will in fact be a four-hour movie. But perhaps even four hours won’t be enough for fans who have been waiting years for just such an event.

Looking for a film of gigantic proportions? Debuting in theaters and on HBO Max March 31, Godzilla vs. Kong shows legends colliding as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. The film will be available on HBO Max for 31 days from its theatrical release in the U.S. included at no additional cost to subscribers.

March also brings a spectacular line-up of original programming, kicking-off with the long awaited release of Zack Snyder's Justice League on March 18. Dramedy series Generation joins the platform on March 11, following a diverse group of high school students whose exploration of modern sexuality (devices and all) tests deeply entrenched beliefs about life, love and the nature of family in their conservative community. Also new this month are the documentary debuts of Tina, CV Diaries NYC and Persona: The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests.

All streaming services go through a down period after the excitement of Spooky Season, it’s only natural. Thankfully with its list of new releases for November 2020, Hulu is making the best out of a barren pop culture landscape.

For starters, Hulu is premiering one of its major 2020 reboots this month as Animaniacs arrives on Nov. 20. Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and the rest of the Warner gang are set to return for this long-awaited revival of the animated classic. That’s about it as far as original series go but Hulu is also premiering original movies Greta, about climate activist Greta Thunberg on Nov. 13; and Run, a horror film starring Sarah Paulson, on Nov. 20.

Still, despite all the Animaniacs, Gretas, and Sarah Paulsons, the biggest hits this month might just be on the library content side of things. November 1 sees the arrival of some major TV properties. For starters, racy British...

Now that we’re just over halfway through October, it’s time to look ahead to what’s arriving on Hulu across November. And the penultimate month of the year is set to deliver a humungous haul of new movies and TV shows. In particular, fresh off their Huluween celebrations, the streaming service is celebrating Christmas early with a load of holiday-related titles dropping on November 1st.

Various films with Christmas in the name land that day – including Christmas in Compton, The Dog Who Saved Christmas and Once Upon a Time at Christmas – as well as a bunch of festive Food Network shows. A few more arrive on the 15th as well. But even if you’re not in the mood for holiday cheer until December, there’s still plenty to enjoy from what’s coming to Hulu in November.

In the late 2000s, Judd Apatow was churning out what seemed to be a new movie every week, whether it be as a director or mostly a producer. A decade later, and he's slowed his roll quite a bit. He hasn't helmed a movie since 2015's Trainwreck, which served as a centerpiece for Amy Schumer, offering a semi-autobiographical look at the comedian's life. Now, he's locked in his next project, and it's quite similiar. Only this time he'll be putting SNL Not Ready for Prime Time Player Pete Davidson under the microscope.

There is a lot going on with Pete Davidson, who most recently tweeted out a suicide scare that concerned quite a few fans and cohorts in the comedy world. He also recently broke up with pop star Ariana Grande after a much publicized engagement. The new comedy will put a skewed mask on these woes, though Pete won't necessarily be playing himself.

Warner Bros. has brought on rising comedic superstar Tiffany Haddish to voice a new lead role in Lego Movie 2. While no details about the character Haddish is voicing have been given, she becomes the first new cast member to come aboard, joining several voice actors from the first movie. This is also the latest high-profile role for Haddish, who has been landing numerous big roles after her breakout role in last summer's R-rated comedy Girls Trip, alongside Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah and Regina Hall.

Haddish will be joined by returning The Lego Movie voice stars Chris Pratt (Emmet Brickowski), Elizabeth Banks (Wyldstyle), Will Arnett (Batman), Channing Tatum (Superman) and Jonah Hill (Green Lantern). There is no indication yet as to whether other The Lego Movie voice actors like Alison Brie (Princess Unikitty), Charlie Day (Spaceman Benny), Morgan Freeman (Vitruvius) or others will be returning for this sequel. No story details have been uncovered yet,...

The Toronto International Film Festival kicks off this week, and with it, the rest of a very busy fall festival season. In preparation for the Canadian festival, we’ll be rolling out a series of previews to point you in the direction of all the movies you have to see (or at least, all the movies you have to start anticipating right now). First up, we’re looking at all the up-and-coming talents who just might break through at this year’s festival. Keep your eyes peeled, this batch just might end up being the brightest one yet.

Alex Lehmann, director, “Blue Jay”

Director Alex Lehmann cut his teeth as a cinematographer on short films and horror movies before landing his feature film directorial debut, “Blue Jay.” A comedic drama starring Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass, who also wrote the screenplay for the film, “Blue Jay” centers on a pair...

The title of rapper and comedian Nick Cannon’s directorial film debut (which he also wrote and produced) is a bit of a misnomer. Though it does climax with a song and dance competition, School Dance—which sounds like it is focused on typical prom drama—centers more around gang violence amidst a high school lock in. More surprising, however, is that Cannon draws much inspiration for this film from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet (going even so far as to actually quote the play at one particularly odd moment). Once again the iconic play is set in a high school. But this time the Jets are The Ranger$, the popular African American boys who “run the school” with their incredible rapping and dance skills. They attract the attention of young Romeo, or Jason (Bobb’e J. Thompson), who wants to join them to win the attention of his fair Juliet,...

After a shake-up at the "Weekend Update" desk, "Saturday Night Live" continues to tweak its lineup with the addition of a new featured player to the cast.

Pete Davidson will join "SNL" when its 40th season premieres later this month. Here's a quick bio of the 20-year-old stand-up comic, via Deadline:

A native of Staten Island, NY, Davidson started his career in comedy at 16, using it as a therapeutic outlet after losing his father, a New York City firefighter, on 9/11. Making his rounds in the New York comedy scene, he was spotted by Nick Cannon who took him under his wing. Davidson was a semi-regular on the revival of Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out improv comedy series on MTV2 last year, leading to a gig on the MTV2 comedy/reality show Guy Code. Davidson, who dropped out of college, made his film-acting debut in Cannon's direct-to-video School Dance.

Teen sex farces don’t come more witless than entertainer Nick Cannon's feature directorial debut. Fueled by endless scatological jokes revolving around black and Mexican-American stereotypes, this hip-hop infused effort features a gallery of notable comedians working hard to earn laughs that never come. Sneaked into a limited theatrical run primarily to raise VOD interest, School Dance is the sort of oppressively offensive comedy that makes you aware of your brain cells dying as you watch it.

Nick Cannon is a man of many hats; he's an actor, singer, producer, host, DJ, and now he can add director to that list.

His feature-length directorial debut, "School Dance," which comes out today (July 2) in theaters and on VOD, is the classic tale of a teenage boy who likes a girl who doesn't know he exists -- and the only way to get her attention is to find a way into his high school's hottest dance crew.

We figured, after just having made a high school movie, Cannon would be the perfect person to share his five favorite high school movies.

Amber Rose's movie debut in the new comedy School Dance is only hitting theaters tomorrow, but she's already lined up her next acting gig. And it's major! Rose just told me that her character Fit Brit in the pilot for Selfie (an ABC sitcom about a woman who becomes a social media star after a video about her humilating break up goes viral) will be a recurring role. "I'm so excited," she said. "I start shooting in August." For now, Rose is concentrating on her clothing line Rose and Ono. She recently posted some very sexy selfies (hello, booty!) modeling the collection on her Instagram. Could you believe that Rose doesn't have a regular gym workout to keep her bod...

Who knew that Mr. Mariah Carey - aka Nick Cannon - had directed another feature film? It's a high school comedy titled "School Dance," which judging from the trailer, is exactly the sort of film you would expect Cannon to direct. I mean, seriously, think about it. If Cannon was directing "Selma" then that would be an unexpected surprise, and we would be forced to look at him in a different light altogether (“Wow! Cannon is directing 'Selma'? I didn’t know the brother was so deep”). But "School Dance"? Yeah that sounds about right.The cast is also what you would expect: Mike Epps, Katt Williams, Luenell, Amber Rose, George Lopez, with Bobb’e J. Thompson in the lead,...

The first red band trailer for School Dance has arrived, from writer and director Nick Cannon. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Bobb'e J. Thompson, Luenell, George Lopez, Katt Williams, and Mike Epps, the story follows a high school loser who never made it with the ladies, until he joined the campus' hottest dance crew. In an attempt to impress his dream girl Anastacia, Jason must overcome his battle-ax of a mother, survive Anastacia's gangsta brother, and pass the crew's initiation. Watch and find out if Jason has what it takes to win the heart of this beautiful young woman, or if he's going to fall on his face trying in what is described as a fresh, sexy, and outrageously funny comedy.

School Dance comes to theaters July 2nd, 2014 and stars Bobb'e J. Thompson, Luenell, Mike Epps, George Lopez, Katt Williams, Dashawn Blanks, Langston Higgins, Julian Goins. The film is directed by Nick Cannon.

Kevin Hart is setting the record right now for most projects per square inch. There is [takes a deep breath]: his Romany Malco–starring ABC pilot; Think Like a Man Too; Ride Along 2; Ballers with Lebron James; Get Hard with Will Ferrell; The Wedding Ringer with Josh Gad; Nick Cannon's School Dance; a buddy-cop movie with Seth Rogen; Real Husbands of Hollywood; and an eventual new stand-up special. Now Variety reports he has signed on to co-star with Jamie Foxx in Black Phantom. Directed by Hart's frequent collaborator Tim Story, the movie tells the story of a double-crossed hit man who teams up with the Black Phantom, the hit man who was originally sent to kill him. Wonder how they'll work short jokes into it — "They should call you a hard-to-hit man, because you're such a small target."...

Fox‘s Night of Comedy showcase at the Improv last fall featured then-19-year-old comedian Pete Davidson. The network brass loved him and quickly signed him to a talent holding deal. After a small guest-starring role on Fox’s freshman comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which marked his first TV acting gig, Davidson got his first network test for Fox’s comedy pilot Sober Companion and landed the role on the spot, with Fox casting executives bullish on his breakout potential. A native of Staten Island, NY, Davidson started his career in comedy at a young age, using it as a therapeutic outlet after losing his father, a New York City firefighter, on 9/11. Making his rounds in the New York comedy scene, he was spotted by Nick Cannon who took him under his wing. Davidson was a semi-regular on the revival of Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out improv comedy series on MTV2 last year,...

"Despicable Me 2" and "The Lone Ranger" have received the lion's share of press over the last week, but it's "Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain" that has become a surprise box office hit. According to numbers released by Deadline.com, Hart's stand-up comedy film has already earned $7.4 million in ticket sales during its first two days of release. Per Variety, "Let Me Explain" could have $29 million in its coffers by Sunday night.

Should Hart's film -- which was filmed at a sold-out Madison Square Garden appearance last year -- reach that lofty tally during opening weekend, it would already become the fourth highest stand-up comedy film of all time, behind only "Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip" ($36 million), "The Original Kings of Comedy" ($38 million) and "Eddie Murphy Raw" ($50 million).

That "Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain" is a big success shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Hart's last stand-up comedy film,...

Well, actually, it’s not what it sounds like. Rather, it sounds like Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart are going to take an idea from Spike Lee’s 25th Hour and turn it into a comedy.

Two funnymen have both signed on to star in the upcoming comedy Get Hard for Warner Bros and that’s the truth.

More precisely, the studio is currently in talks to acquire the new comedy Get Hard, which comes with stars Ferrell and Hart already attached. The script for a starring vehicle for the aforementioned comedians will be written by Ian Roberts and Jay Martel, best known for being the showrunners on Comedy Central’s Key & Peele.

Ferrell will reportedly play a rich, soft-handed investment bank manager sentenced to a maximum security prison for a crime he didn’t commit, who hires the streetwise guy (Hart) who normally washes his car to get him...

His wife may be starring on Fox’s American Idol, but Nick Cannon is staying firmly in the NBC camp. The America’s Got Talent host has signed a first-look deal with the network for his NCredible Entertainment banner. Under the pact, NCredible principals Cannon and longtime manager and business partner Michael Goldman will develop unscripted and scripted programming for the network. Cannon also will return as host on America’s Got Talent next summer. “We are gratified to know that this new agreement will expand our successful working relationship with Nick beyond America’s Got Talent and allow him to further draw on his notable creative instincts,” said NBC’s head of alternative programming Paul Telegdy. In addition to Cannon’s long-time collaboration with Nickelodeon, his company is producing the upcoming Cartoon Network live-action sketch comedy series Incredible Crew created by Cannon. The company also is about to start...

Last we heard of a House Party remake, it was February of this year and Nick Cannon was the one interested in returning to the franchise. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) Cannon instead decided to veer off in a different direction, opting to cowrite and direct School Dance, due out next year. But that doesn't mean we won't be getting another House Party movie, as Moviehole tells us production will begin next month in South Africa on House Party: Tonight's the Night, which will be one of the final movies produced under WB's now-shuttered Warner Premiere label. The (direct-to-video?) reboot will once again focus on a music-loving duo who have their differences (one is wild, the other a bit more restrained) and, yes, they eventually...

High school was a while ago, but we certainly don't remember our classmates dressing like this!

Amber Rose stepped out on the set of her forthcoming flick, "School Dance," looking a little more stripper than sophomore. The singer/model/actress stars in the Nick Cannon-directed teen flick alongside Melissa Molinaro (Reggie Bush's flame and Kim Kardashian look-a-like) and Wilmer Valderrama.

Rose certainly stands out in the high school setting wearing an Adidas jacket, white miniskirt and neon bikini top -- undoubtedly turning more than a few heads in the hallways.

Check out Amber's skin-baring look below:...

Continuously out to prove that he's more than just Mariah Carey arm candy, entrepreneur Nick Cannon is adding feature film director to his already long list of achievements, helming the teen comedy School Dance. The film features comedian Kevin Hart, alongside actresses Melissa Molinaro, Amber Rose, and Kristinia DeBarge, all of whom are seen in a handful of photos that have just arrived from the set. Check it out as Kevin Hart reaches in the fridge to get his Eazy-e on in this tale of a shy freshman who hopes to join his high school's hottest dance clique despite suffering incurable stage fright.

School Dance comes to theaters in 2013 and stars Melissa Molinaro, Korrina Rico, Efren Ramirez, Amber Rose, Kayla Collins, Kristinia DeBarge, Catherine Masters, Jasmine Sanders. The film is directed by Nick Cannon.
