Something to Stream Every Day This Week; ‘Vanderpump Villa,’ ‘Hop’ Series Premieres, Wrestlemania XL, More
April has arrived, which means it’s officially spring in the United States! Unfortunately for most, the wet and unpredictable weather that comes with April is also setting in, which means that many who yearn for a return to the great outdoors will have to wait another few weeks before Mother Nature will be willing to cooperate.
While we settle in for the wait for fairer weather, there are at least new titles coming to major streaming platforms to help pass the time. As we do every week, The Streamable will break down the best new shows and movies coming to platforms like Hulu and others this week to ensure you’re never without something to watch!
Monday, April 1
‘Vanderpump Villa’ Series Premiere | Hulu
Entrepreneur and lightning rod for attention and controversy Lisa Vanderpump is back with a new series! This show will whisk viewers away from SUR, the West Hollywood restaurant featured in “Vanderpump Rules,” and deposits them at Chateau Rosabelle, a French estate where the staff is as diverse and unruly as a viewer might expect.
Each scintillating episode follows the elite staff as they try to provide luxurious, once-in-a-lifetime, Vanderpump-curated experiences for guests while dealing with rivalries, romances, and raucous misadventures that come from living and working together 24/7.

‘Lopez vs. Lopez' Season 2 Premiere | NBC, stream with a five-day free trial of DIRECTV STREAM
George Lopez is returning to primetime, and this time he’s bringing his real-life daughter, Mayan. This outrageously funny and love-inspiring comedy tells the story of a working-class, old-school Latino father who moves in with his modern Gen Z daughter as they rebuild their often-difficult, but always-rewarding relationship one argument at a time.
In the premiere of Season 2, Mayan will discover that George quitting drinking hasn’t made him any less annoying. Instead, he’s focused on getting the rest of the family to give up their vices as well! Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias will star as George’s new sponsor Iggy, and he has a lesson for the entire Lopez clan: sobriety is no walk in the park.

After divorcing her husband of 20 years, Molly Novak (Maya Rudolph) must figure out what to do with her $87 billion settlement. She decides to reengage with her neglected charitable foundation and reconnect with the real world—finding herself along the way.
In Season 2, Molly has found what she believes is a great pathway to spending a large chunk of her money and helping a huge group of people: a low-cost housing initiative funded by her settlement. But it soon becomes apparent that she can’t just throw money at the problem to solve it, and discovering the true meaning of charity will be more difficult than she ever imagined.

‘Hop’ Series Premiere | Max
“Arthur” creator Marc Brown has picked up his animator’s tools yet again to create a new series for preschool kids. “Hop” follows a group of quirky, diverse friends led by Hop, an empathetic and carefree frog with one leg shorter than the other.
Set in the town of Fair Village, Hop, and friends will come into contact with mythical creatures like trolls, dragons and even talking banjos. Despite this fantastical setting, each episode will be deeply rooted in reality, as the kids in the show face problems and situations that kids today will find highly relatable.
