The April additions to Pluto TV’s programming library are split between nature programs and horror flicks.

The streamer will debut the PBS Nature channel later this month, taking viewers on a global voyage and highlighting eco-causes, such as Earth Day. Docs including “Building Green” and “Earth in 1000 Years.”

Also, since April is halfway to Halloween, Pluto is doing everything it can to scare the pants off viewers early. The new channel “April Ghouls” has an array of terror, including “Scream 1-3.” The franchise’s first film, “Scream” stars Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Drew Barrymore, and David Arquette.

The franchise includes six films; the first four were directed by Wes Craven. The saga begins with murderers known as Ghostface, who stalk and kill their victims.

Relive the original “Scream” trailer:

Edgar Allan Poe fans may like “The Raven,” set in 19th-century Baltimore. The murders of a mother and daughter resemble a fictional crime described in a Poe story. John Cusack and Brendan Gleeson star in the film.

On a lighter note, a blast from 1980s comedy past: “Earth Girls Are Easy.” When three aliens land in LA, they discover women. And the women discover handsome guys who have more to offer than the average Earthling. Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, and Geena Davis star.

Pluto TV

Pluto TV is a free streaming service backed by Paramount that offers a traditional cable-like channel surfing experience. The service offers hundreds of free round-the-clock channels, including classics like “Star Trek,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “The Price is Right.”

…

Rather than attempting to carry expensive local broadcast affiliates or high-profile live sports leagues, the lineup leans heavily into curated thematic programming. You will find dedicated channels cycling non-stop episodes of many classic TV shows, alongside niche feeds for anime, true crime, classic sitcoms, and live headline news loops from outlets like CBS News. Alongside the live grid, there is also a hefty on-demand vault filled with older Hollywood catalog films, cult classics, and complete archived series.

Because Pluto TV mirrors linear broadcast television, you cannot pause or fast-forward through commercial breaks, nor is there a cloud DVR feature to record airings for later viewing. That said, it’s a great alternative for those looking for a wide range of channels without subscription fees.
