Netflix dropped the trailers of a slew of new movies and shows, including a black comedy series, a Spanish teenage drama series, a makeover reality show, a fantasy drama series and a Norwegian monster film, on Wednesday late evening and Thursday morning. We take a look at some of the most promising of these trailers and teasers.
Dead to Me: Season 3
On Thursday morning, the streaming giant unveiled the official trailer of the third and final season of its American black comedy series Dead To Me. Created by Liz Feldman and executively produced by Feldman, Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, and Jessica Elbaum, the series stars Emmy award-winners Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini in lead roles.
We see Jen (played by Applegate) and Judy (played by Cardellini) surviving the crash of the Season 2 finale. Jen, however, is confined to a neck brace and spends the final season once again at the risk of being found out for the murder of Ben’s brother Steve (played by Marsden).
Dead To Me Season 3 will be streaming on Netflix from November 17.
Mind Your Manners
Netflix released the official trailer for its upcoming makeover reality series Mind Your Manners. Hosted by etiquette teacher Sarah Jane Ho, this show follows Sarah instructing her clients on etiquette, aiming to build their confidence and put them at ease in social situations.
We get to see how to properly eat a banana with a knife and fork, do archery, ride horses and use hand fans. The show is created on the basis of the idea that proper etiquette can help build general self-assurance in everyday life.
Mind Your Manners will arrive on November 16.
The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself
Netflix also came out with a special teaser for its upcoming British fantasy-drama series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself. It is created by Joe Barton, based on the young adult novel Half Bad written by Sally Green. The streamer dropped a cast introduction video on Wednesday late evening. Jay Lycurgo of Titans and I May Destroy You fame headlines the show alongside Nadia Parkes, Emilien Vekemans and Isobel Jesper Jones.
The synopsis reads, “Sixteen-year-old Nathan (Jay Lycurgo) is the illegitimate son of the world’s most dangerous witch. Fearing he will follow in his father's footsteps, Nathan is closely monitored throughout his childhood. As the boundaries between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fray, Nathan - along with mischievous Annalise and charismatic Gabriel - will soon discover who he truly is.”
Elite: Season 6
The sixth season of Netflix’s Spanish teenage drama series Elite’s first official trailer came out on Thursday. Created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona, the series is set in Las Encinas, a fictional elite high school in Spain. It features Itzan Escamilla, Miguel Bernardeau, Danna Paola, Arón Piper, Omar Ayuso, Claudia Salas, Georgina Amorós and Álvaro Rico.
The almost two-minute-long trailer starts with the theme of impending justice, which refers to Samuel’s death in Season 5. It further explores the hardships Las Encinas is going to face in the new academic year while covering up the horrific events of the past. Other pertinent themes like racism, sexism and systemic class exploitation can be spotted in the trailer.
Elite Season 6 will be streaming on November 18.
Troll
The official trailer of Norwegian monster film Troll was dropped by the streamer on Wednesday late evening. Directed by Roar Uthaug, who previously helmed Tomb Raider and The Wave, the movie stars Marie Wilmann, Kim Falck, Mads Sjøgård Pettersen and Gard Eidsvold in prominent roles.
We see a seemingly volcanic eruption, deep inside the mountain of Dovre, awakens a gigantic monster that was trapped there for thousands of years. The government takes the help of an archaeologist to stop the monster from going on a rampage. But how do you stop something you thought only existed in Norwegian folklore?
Troll will arrive on Netflix on December 1.
