Streaming trailers of the week


The Mandalorian season 2

Finally! The Mandalorian Season 2 got its first trailer this week, and we can’t wait for the space saga to return for a second installment. Mando is on a mission to transport Baby Yoda (aka The Child) safely to his kind — the Jedi. This is the way! The new trailer is action-packed and shows Mando fight his way through to Baby Yoda’s home despite the enmity between the Mandalorian people and the Jedi group. We’ve done a full trailer analysis of the Mandalorian Season 2 here so you can read that to know more about new cast members, storyline, and more.


The Lie

A few weeks back, we showed you the trailer for Welcome To The Blumhouse — a four-part series comprising four different unsettling genre movies coming to Amazon Prime Video. This week, we got streaming trailers for all four parts, the first one being The Lie (read on for the other three).

This mini streaming movie features Peter Sarsgaard, Mireille Enos, and Joey King. It tells the story of a desperate couple (Sarsgaard and Enos) trying to cover up a murder committed by their daughter (King). The more they try to protect her, the deeper a hole they dig for themselves. Watch the trailer below.


Nocturne

Nocturne is another one of the four different stories from Amazon Prime Video’s Welcome To The Blumhouse series. Guiding the cast are Sydney Sweeney, Madison Iseman, Jacques Colimon, and Ivan Shaw. A lot is happening in this grim trailer, including half-severed heads, silent screams, burning hands, and strange rituals. The plot revolves around a music student who suddenly starts performing very well after discovering a mysterious notebook owned by a dead classmate.


Black Box

You guessed it. This is another one of the Blumhouse tales coming to Amazon Prime Video on October 6. Black Box, directed by Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr., stars Mamoudou Athie, Troy James, Phylicia Rashad, Amanda Christine, Tosin Morohunfola, and others. The trailer reminds us of something straight out of the Black Mirror anthology series. A man with memory problems undergoes an experimental treatment involving a VR headset-like box that helps him remember past events. The only problem is that something is haunting him inside his memories, and he can’t seem to outrun it.


Evil Eye

The last one in the Welcome To The Blumhouse series, Evil Eye, is a streaming movie produced by Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Jason Blum. The plot is centered around the concept of the evil eye — a common belief (mostly in India) that individuals can harm people just by looking at them. A mother believes that her daughter’s boyfriend has a dark connection to her own past and that the relationship is jinxed by the all-powerful evil eye of a demonic spirit. Catch the streaming trailer below.


American Murder: The Family Next Door

Told entirely through archival footage, this upcoming documentary on Netflix examines the police investigation into the 2018 murders of 34-year-old Shanann Watts and her two young daughters in Frederick, Colorado. The documentary includes social media posts, law enforcement recordings, text messages, and never-before-seen home videos of this heartbreaking tragedy.


South Park: The Pandemic Special

A one-hour-long “Pandemic Special” South Park episode! What more is there to say? Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and all our other favorite South Park characters come together for some much-needed laughs in these dire times. If you’re wondering what this South Park trailer is doing in our streaming trailers’ list, you’re not to blame. Yes, the episode will first air on Comedy Central on September 30, but it’ll eventually come to streaming screens through HBO Max 24 hours after the cable premiere.


Moonbase 8

In this Showtime original, Fred Armisen, Tim Heidecker, and John C. Reilly are going to the moon! But before they do that, they have to prove their worth at NASA’s moon base simulator located in the isolated desert of Winslow, Arizona. It’s the first frontier before the final frontier for these untrained professionals. Check out the hilarious trailer below.


The Comedy Store

The Comedy Store is a Showtime documentary series where legends recount their performances at the mecca of standup comedy. The series brings together rare footage of comedy icons like Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, and Freddie Prinze, as well as emotional interviews with some of the biggest names in comedy such as David Letterman, Jay Leno, Joe Rogen, Whitney Cummings, Chris Rock, Andrew Dice Clay, Jimmy Walker, Jim Carrey, Whoopi Goldberg, and many more. The Comedy Store will premiere on Showtime on October 4. Watch the trailer below.


The Trial Of The Chicago 7

Netflix released the first trailer of its upcoming Aaron Sorkin drama inspired by the true story of the Chicago Seven — a group of peaceful protestors charged by the US government in 1968 with conspiracy and inciting a riot.

The Good Lord Bird

We got a new trailer for Ethan Hawke’s upcoming Showtime miniseries this week. The trailer shows the abolitionist movement at its heart, incited by slave rights activist John Brown (Hawke). Brown was a white man who fought in the battles of Bleeding Kansas and led a slave uprising in Virginia in 1859.
