Netflix Canada is rolling out several new and returning shows in April 2026, including the third season of XO, Kitty starring Vancouver's Anna Cathcart, the second season of the acclaimed anthology series Beef, and the second season of Running Point. However, the platform will also be removing several beloved films from the Fast & Furious franchise as well as classic comedies from Christopher Guest like Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman.

Why it matters

The additions and removals on Netflix Canada reflect the platform's ongoing efforts to balance new, buzzy content with fan-favorite classics. The return of shows like XO, Kitty and Beef demonstrate Netflix's commitment to diverse storytelling, while the departure of the Fast & Furious movies and Guest comedies will disappoint many subscribers. These changes are part of the constant content churn on streaming services as licensing agreements expire and new projects debut.

The details

The new and returning shows coming to Netflix Canada in April include the third season of XO, Kitty starring Anna Cathcart, the second season of the anthology series Beef with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan, and the second season of Running Point with Kate Hudson. Additionally, a new comedic thriller series called Big Mistakes from Dan Levy will premiere. On the film side, the Canadian-directed movie Roommates, starring Sadie Sandler and Chloe East, will also debut. However, several beloved titles are departing the platform, including multiple Fast & Furious franchise films and classic Christopher Guest comedies like Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and Waiting for Guffman.

  • XO, Kitty Season 3 premieres on April 2, 2026.
  • Big Mistakes debuts on April 9, 2026.
  • Beef Season 2 premieres on April 16, 2026.
  • Roommates is released on April 17, 2026.
