Mel Brooks Introduces History of the World, Part II with New Trailer: Watch
Hulu has set the release date for Mel Brooks’ sequel series History of the World, Part II alongside a new teaser trailer. Watch the clip below ahead of the show’s March 6th premiere. At 96 years old, Brooks still has his comedic flair intact. While introducing the teaser for the eight-episode series, he cheekily pokes fun at his age by checking the inside of his jacket for his name. After Brooks runs through his well-known resume, the clip begins and proceeds to introduce the cast and characters of History of the World, Part II at a dizzying pace. Following in the footsteps of the 1981 film, the show will feature sketches from different periods in history. The spoofed historical figures include Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalena, Sigmund Freud, General Ulysses S. Grant, Rasputin, Amelia Ear...
Velma Goes to High School in Trailer for HBO Max’s Scooby-Doo Prequel Series: Watch
Better find your glasses, because HBO Max has unveiled the official trailer for Velma, their new origin story of the spectacled Scooby Doo character. The adult animated series premieres today, January 12th. In Velma, executive producer Mindy Kaling voices a teen version of Velma Dinkley — an outcast at her high school who gets roped into an eerie on-campus tragedy. “This is my story told my way,” she says at the beginning of the trailer. “And it starts with a murder.” The series offers a backstory into how Mystery Inc. came to be, told from Velma’s perspective. Along the way, she meets a vain Daphne (Constance Wu), a cocky Fred (Glenn Howerton), and a new Shaggy-esque character named Norville (Sam Richardson) who definitely doesn’t smoke weed. Notably, ho...
Bob Odenkirk Returns to the Small Screen in Teaser for New Series Lucky Hank: Watch
Less than a year after Better Call Saul wrapped up a six-season run, Bob Odenkirk is poised to return to television with Lucky Hank, a new series premiering on AMC in March that just released its first teaser. Watch the clip below. Based on Richard Russo’s novel Straight Man, Lucky Hank stars Odenkirk as William Henry Deveraux Jr., chairman of the English department at an underfunded Pennsylvania college. In the teaser — a 15-second close-up of Odenkirk’s weathered, bearded face — the actor admits, “I’ve always been a difficult man. I specialize in minor strife and insignificant irritation.” That strife likely comes from Ralston College’s President Dickie Pope (Kyle MacLachlan), who The Hollywood Reporter describes as “a nemesis to Hank and the other prof...
Blimey! Hulu Unveils Trailer for New Crime-Fighting Cartoon Koala Man: Watch
Things get weird down under. For proof, look no further than Hulu’s latest animated series Koala Man, which gets its official trailer today. Koala Man was created by Aussie director Michael Cusack, who also stars as Kevin, the titular hero. Kevin’s a regular old bloke who tries juggling his family with his burning desire to solve petty crime. Results are mixed. Armed with a marsupial mask, Koala Man traverses the city to rectify potentially catastrophic mishaps like a cat stuck in a tree, a messy lawn mowing job, and janky office Wi-Fi. He’s clearly still getting the hang of things, and his various anthropomorphic animal enemies aren’t making things any easier.

Christoph Waltz Menaces Employees in Trailer for The Consultant: Watch
Thanks to his dry delivery, Christoph Waltz has a knack for portraying characters with evil undertones. In the new teaser trailer for the upcoming Prime Video thriller series The Consultant, he puts that talent to good use by menacing employees at the gaming company he’s hired to improve. “My purpose is to improve the business,” Waltz’s Regus Patoff says in the clip. “If it helps you to see me as a monster, so be it.” Sure enough, his methods lead CompWare employees to describe him as a “sociopath.” Watch the full teaser trailer below. Based on Bentley Little’s 2015 novel of the same name, the logline for The Consultant reads as follows: “When a new consultant, Regus Patoff (Christoph Waltz), is hired to improve the business at the App-based gaming company CompWare, employees experience ne...
Everyone Is Older but the Basement Is the Same in That ’90s Show Trailer: Watch
Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) is back to slinging snacks, Red (Kurtwood Smith) is still exhausted with the dumbasses, the basement once again smells like smoke, and a new generation is getting cozy on the couch in the latest trailer for That ’90s Show. It premieres January 19th on Netflix. This newest preview of the That ’70s Show sequel series introduces Jay Kelso (Mace Coronel), the handsome son of Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) and Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis). “Hey, new girl,” he says while sidling up to Leia Forman (Callie Haverda), smart but awkward daughter of Eric Forman (Topher Grace) and Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon). Leia is up from Chicago visiting her grandparents, but soon she’s right next to Jay, seated on the hood of what appears to be the same old 1969 Vista C...
Champagne Pops (In Your Eyes) in Party Down Teaser Trailer: Watch

There Are No Unbreakable Vaults in Trailer for Giancarlo Esposito Series Kaleidoscope: Watch
Vaults and skulls are cracked in the first trailer for the new series Kaleidoscope starring Giancarlo Esposito. The anthology-style mystery premieres New Year’s Day on Netflix. Very loosely based on the real-life story of how $70 billion in bonds went missing in Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy, Kaleidoscope‘s narrative conceit is that viewers will watch the series in different orders, and each episode will fill in separate parts of the mystery. It’s the opposite of the HBO approach; instead of everyone watching on a Sunday night together, the spoiler-averse won’t be able to talk about the series at all until they’ve seen the whole thing. The plot spans 25 years and follows mastermind Leo Pap (Esposito) as he puts together a crew to steal $7 billion from a supposedly un...
Justin Theroux and Woody Harrelson Are Keeping America’s Biggest Secret in Teaser for White House Plumbers: Watch
HBO has today unveiled the first teaser for White House Plumbers, the upcoming political drama miniseries starring Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux. It’s set to be sworn in to HBO March 2023. Based on the 2007 book Integrity: Good People, Bad Choices, and Life Lessons from the White House by Egil Krogh and Matthew Krogh, White House Plumbers tells the story of E. Howard Hunt (Harrelson) and G. Gordon Liddy (Theroux), the two masterminds behind the Watergate scandal who accidentally sabotaged Richard Nixon’s presidency despite their futile attempts to protect his reputation. The trailer opens as Hunt and Liddy have a meeting with Nixon’s counsel John Dean (Domhnall Gleeson), who gives the pair a seemingly simple assignment: “Your new mission is to make sure he wins thi...
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey “Take On” Clickers in The Last of Us Trailer: Watch
The official trailer for HBO’s The Last of Us has been revealed, and the looming threat from the first look and teaser has finally clicked into place with an expanded preview of the zombie apocalypse video game adaptation. The clip begins with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, as lead characters Joel and Ellie, traversing across country on a mission connected to the younger passenger’s apparent immunity to a devastating zombie virus. Over a cinematic spin on a-ha’s “Take On Me,” the pair confront an army of the infected, who appear throughout the trailer in varying stages of transformation into the monstrous “clickers,” and also stumble into chance encounters with more survivors, played by the likes of an armed-and-dangerous Nick Offerman, Storm Reid, Murray Bartlett, and more. Pascal an...
Gen V Takes The Boys’ Spinoff Series to School in Bloody First Trailer: Watch
The first trailer for The Boys’ college spinoff Gen V has arrived, and when it comes to the subversive superhero series’ requisite bloodlust, the new installment seems set to pass with flying colors. The clip opens with an introduction to Godolkin University, a self-described “safe space” for super-powered teenagers “to thrive.” The curriculum, however, appears to have a much more punitive approach to the classic pass-or-fail format with numerous shots revealing blood-soaked students, disemboweled security forces, and deadly clashes amongst classmates. At one point, Jaz Sinclair, as the show’s lead Marie Moreau, brushes off the unusual college trials, saying, “I’m superhuman, right? We’re made of steel.” Despite her heroic confidence, every moment surrounding the statement suggests otherwi...

The season isn’t so cheerful for Lieutenant Dangle (Thomas Lennon), who finds himself wishing he’d never been born.
