With many of us stuck at home, at least there’s a good crop of streaming distractions on the way, including a ton of James Bond movies, a free month of CBS All Access and the Pixar hit 'Onward.'
The news is likely to get much worse as the coronavirus outbreak spreads, upending lives and the economy, while tens of millions of people hunker down and isolate themselves at home in a bid to slow its spread.
As we have previously mentioned, consumers can take full advantage of cord-cutting by capitalizing on the ability to add and drop streaming services each month, and all it takes is good planning and timing. Remember, a billing cycle starts when you sign up, not necessarily at the beginning of each month.
Here’s a look at what’s coming to the various streaming services in April 2020, and what’s really worth the monthly subscription fee. Play, pause or stop? Play. There’s enough quality new stuff to keep yourself and the whole family occupied. div.youtube { height:0; position:relative; padding-bottom:56.25%; } div.youtube > iframe { position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } There will also be fresh episodes every Friday of “Making the Cut,” the fashion competition series hosted by former “Project Runway” icons Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, which launched March 27. It’s getting good reviews and has the potential to be solid distraction-TV.
Aside from that, expect a bunch more kids shows, nature documentaries, new episodes of “Star Wars: Clone Wars,” and older movies such as Eddie Murphy’s “Doctor Dolittle” , David Lynch’s “The Straight Story” and Nicolas Cage’s “National Treasure” . div.youtube { height:0; position:relative; padding-bottom:56.25%; } div.youtube > iframe { position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } Also dropping April 24 is “Beastie Boys Story,”a documentary about the rap legends from Spike Jonze and Beastie members Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz. The film had been scheduled to premiere at SXSW and be released in theaters, until the coronavirus outbreak forced a change of plans.
Its vault will be impressive, with more than 600 movies and 400 series, including “30 Rock,” “The Office,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Battlestar Galactica,” “Friday Night Lights,” the complete “Law & Order” franchise and “Downton Abbey.” The premium version will also include early access to NBC’s late-night shows and live sports, such as English Premier League soccer, among other things.
