April 3 kicks off with the supernatural-themed and Kevin Bacon-starring The Bondsman (all 8 episodes). Then on April 8, The creative minds behind Mecha Sci-Fi Gundam and Evangelion join forces in the world premiere of Mobile Suit Gundam GQUUUUUUX (new episodes air weekly). #1 Happy Family, an absurdist adult animated comedy from Ramy Youssef hits our screens on April 17 (all 8 episodes), and Leverage fans have cause to celebrate, as the crew is back together for Leverage: Redemption on April 17.

By chasing down those demons with the help and hinderance of his estranged family, Hub learns how his own sins got his soul condemned — which pushes him to seek a second chance at life, love, and country music.
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM GQUUUUUUX (April 8)
Amate Yuzuriha, a high school girl who lives a peaceful life in a space colony floating in space, meets Nyaan, a war refugee girl, and gets caught up in the illegal mobile suit dueling competition ‘Clan Battle.’
Using the entry name ‘MACHU’ Amate pilots a GQuuuuuuX and throws herself into fierce battles every day.
At the same time, an unidentified Mobile Suit ‘Gundam,’ pursued by both the space army and the police, and its pilot, a boy named Shuuji, appears before her. And the world is about to enter a new era.
#1 HAPPY FAMILY USA (April 17)
From creator Ramy Youssef comes #1 Happy Family USA, an adult-animated series following the maniacally upbeat Husseins – the most patriotic, most peaceful, and most definitely-not-suspicious Muslim family in post-9/11 “Amreeka.”
With satire and absurdity, it redefines finding humor in hardship as they navigate the early 2000s under the watchful eyes of their terrified neighbors.
LEVERAGE: REDMPTION (April 17)
The rich and powerful take what they want, but the Leverage Crew is back to fight for the little guy.
This season the team pits themselves against a power broker stealing the clean water under people’s feet and turning into dirty money, fight against a Mayor who’s literally the judge and jury of his small town, outrun a mark who’s finally caught up with them mid-con, out-hustle a pool hustler with a side business in international extortion, and bring down an industrialist exploiting child labor.
All this while dodging an intricate plan of vengeance from a Season One enemy and working through the fallout of their new personal relationships.
