Netflix is set to add a truly pulse-raising movie to its film roster in a few days, as one of the tensest movies in recent history – if not arguably of all time – is set to arrive on the platform very soon. 2026 has already seen a range of major movies and shows be added to Netflix for viewers to enjoy, balancing an assortment of classics alongside newer and fresher releases and Netflix originals.
April 2026 is proving itself to follow along the same lines for the year, with the likes of five Mission Impossible movies and the Madagascar trilogy having been added on the first day of the month alone. Several series are also set to have new seasons emerge throughout April, with XO, Kitty, Temptation Island, Turn of the Tide, Crooks, Fake Profile, The Law According To Lidia Poët, Beef, Alpha Males, Cocomelon Lane, and Running Point being just some of the shows that will get follow-up seasons during this time.
The following days and weeks of April are set to only make the month’s offerings on Netflix all the more impressive, as plenty of major films and television series are set to emerge on the streaming service during this time – including a film that has one of the tensest movie stories possible.
A Quiet Place Part 2 Releases On Netflix This April
April 2026 sees a range of exciting additions become available on Netflix, with an assortment of different genres and stories making their way to the service in the next few weeks. Interestingly, one of the most represented genres when it comes to movies arriving on the platform is that of horror, with Thrash, Halloween Ends, Him and Scream all coming to Netflix in this month.
Excitingly, one of the horror films coming to Netflix in April is that of A Quiet Place Part 2, the sequel to the 2018 horror thriller that centers around a post-apocalyptic world wherein humanity is hunted by creatures that are attracted to sound, forcing the series’ characters to find a way to live without making even the smallest of noises for most of its story.
The Quiet Place movie series is well known for containing some of the tensest movie scenes of all time as a result of this premise, which takes usually mundane circumstances like walking through houses or opening and closing doors and turns them into high-octane sports due to the risk of any sound spelling almost certain doom. A Quiet Place Part 2 also manages to keep up with the nail-biting standards set by the series’ other films in a few clever ways.
Why A Quiet Place Part 2 Is One Of The Tensest Movies Ever Created
A series wherein someone stepping on a particularly crunchy leaf too hard could kill them is one that’s naturally filled with a lot of tension and turmoil, and A Quiet Place Part 2 isn’t afraid to capitalize on this fully.
While the events of the first film leave the remaining members of the Abbott family armed with a new weapon to combat the alien threat they face – in the form of the frequency Regan’s cochlear implant can emit, which sabotages the creatures thanks to their sensitive hearing – this also cues things up for the cast to be in closer quarters with these beings, in many ways placing them in more danger than ever before.
Similarly, though Evelyn giving birth in A Quiet Place is one of the most intense scenes in the franchise and the horror genre more broadly speaking, A Quiet Place Part 2 ensures things still remain absolutely terse afterwards by having the baby remain a potential risk for the family throughout the sequel’s story – a particularly potent matter given Beau dies at a young age in the first film, meaning it never seems impossible for another younger character to be in genuine peril also.
Altogether, A Quiet Place Part 2 is certainly not a relaxing watch, though it is definitely an exciting one throughout the course of its run. With the upcoming A Quiet Place Part 3 set to tie things up when it releases in 2027, A Quiet Place Part 2 is emerging on Netflix at a perfect point of time also, giving prospective viewers plenty of time to watch or rewatch the film before the franchise continues forward.
