The Croon
Watch the (prestigious) drama unfold as celebrity singers choose the next successor to the throne.

In 1950s New York, an aspiring comedienne who can shoot laser beams from her eyes teams up with a mutant Motown singer and Lenny Bruce in a jetpack to save the world.

Perfect Stranger Things
Gen Xers’ favorite mismatched cousins are back in a nostalgia-baiting reboot where Balki emerges from an alternate universe with unsettling telekinetic powers.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the Musical
The relevance of the past to our present is evinced through the anachronistic beats and modern lingo of this hip-hopera about the Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention of 1848.

Band of Property Brothers
A tight-knit platoon of soldiers renovates bombed-out chateaux for families in World War II-era Belgium.

The Great British Football Show
Kindness is cool but the stakes are high as contestants vie to score goals with minimal instructions in increasingly intricate ways: run a play that evokes a favorite holiday memory, or make a header that creatively exemplifies who you are as a person.

The Vulcan
A beloved sci-fi franchise expands its universe with a space-western about a stoic hero who is tasked with transporting a cuddly tribble. Or two. Or three.

Nargo
A gritty comedy in which quirky small-town cops from Minnesota battle the Sinaloa cartel.

Witcherton
A darkly lush period drama with enough sex scenes to make it awkward to watch with your parents. Lick a spoon for your Witcher.

In a dystopic world eerily reminiscent of our own, Ofharry, Ofken, and other handmaids fight amongst each other, but the real war is against the meaninglessness of their own existence.

Queer Gambit
Beth’s hallucinations of chess pieces on her room’s ceiling clash with Bobby’s vision of a muted palette to complement the midcentury modern décor. Antoni suggests varying her diet of pills and booze with some homemade pasta.

Liam Neeson Is Angry
Down-on-his-luck aging everyman wages a one-man war against a menacing figure bent on doing bad stuff. This time, like last time, it’s personal.
