PEN15
‣ Middle school is no joke—but the comedy PEN15 captures the tween years with warmth and cringeworthy accuracy.

Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven) executive-produced this bite-size Quibi thriller, designed to view on your iPhone.
We Are Who We Are
‣ From Luca Guadagnino, director of Call Me By Your Name, comes a similarly aching coming-of-age story set on an American army base in Italy. The nine-episode drama stars newcomers Jack Dylan Grazer and Jordan Kristine Seamón, as well as Chloë Sevigny and rapper Kid Cudi.
The Third Day
‣ This six-episode drama is set on a mysterious island off the British coast, inhabited by locals with an affinity for rituals—and a dislike of strangers.

Woke

Power Book II: Ghost

The first of four planned Power spin-offs, Power Book II: Ghost, follows Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.) dealing with the fallout of his father’s murder.
